"A surprising new plan to reverse the symptoms of thyroid disease by reducing excess dietary iodine, from integrative physician and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Alan Christianson"-- Provided by publisher.
Though the thyroid gland is small, it produces hormones that control the rate of nearly every chemical reaction in the body. An estimated twenty million Americans have some form of thyroid disease: symptoms can range from weight gain and fatigue to hair thinning and memory loss. Christianson helps readers reverse chronic thyroid diseases like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis with nothing more than dietary change: the reduction of iodine intake. Rather than eliminating any food category, he recommends food swaps like brown rice instead of processed bread, and shares the latest on supplements and other thyroid health strategies. -- adapted from jacket
