Here are some of the things that she addressed in the interview:

--Why thyroid problems are of epidemic proportions and what you can do to avoid these causative factors

--Signs and symptoms of thyroid problems so you can identify them before you get tested

--The connection between the intestinal system and the thyroid

--How your weight is extremely affected by your thyroid functioning

--How doctors diagnose thyroid problems and if the conventional treatment is really effective

--How to get properly evaluated according to these authors (MD and RN, PhD)

--What type of testing you can do from home that is easy and accurate

--Learn what a "Thyroid Coach" is

Did you ever think or hear others say . .
"my thyroid might be the cause - but how do we know for sure?"
