I'm happy to announce the publication of my latest book, Living Well With Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know. The book was just released this week, published by HarperCollins. The book is the latest in the series of "Living Well..." books that started with my first book, Living Well With Hypothyroidism, which was first published in 2000, and reissued in a 2nd edition in March of 2005.

Living Well With Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism focuses on conventional and alternative approaches to diagnosis, treatment and management of these complex and often overlooked conditions. In addition to coverage of all the traditional medical treatments -- antithyroid therapy, radioactive iodine, surgery -- the book also features a holistic/nutritional/supplement-based approach to treatment of non-acute hyperthyroidism. The book also discusses specific problems, including thyroid eye disease, hyperthyroidism and fertility, hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, hyperthyroidism in newborns and children, the impact of hyperthyroidism on mental health, and ultimately, lifelong hypothyroidism, which is the usual result after hyperthyroidism treatment. A comprehensive Resources appendix features books, websites, organizations, and experts that can provide further information and help.
