Even when suspected, it is frequently undiagnosed.
When it is diagnosed, it often goes untreated.
When it is treated, it is seldom treated optimally.
If you - like many of the patients coming to our medical office - have tried a variety of interventions without complete success, then prepare for some good news. After 25 years of thyroid practice as a doctor-nurse team, we have seen a great many people like you finally get the relief you have been seeking.
The answer has frequently been an individualized program of multi-hormone rebalancing. Now we have made this program available in the form of an easy-to-use new book. It is our hope that this new information will assist you in getting even more out of your effort to live well, and will complement the kind of information you get from Mary Shomon's website, newsletters, and her excellent books, Living Well with Hypothyroidism, Living Well With Autoimmune Disease, and The Thyroid Diet.
If you are feeling stuck -- despite doing all the "right things" – our new book can help. It’s titled Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? A 3-Step Program to Beat Hormone Havoc and Feel Better Fast.
Consider it an emergency tool, much like jumper cables or tire chains for your car. These special tools are useful occasionally to help you get out of a stuck situation.
In keeping with the car analogy:
- your thyroid is like your car's gas pedal, providing your energy, vital force and forward motion for any and all activity.
- Your sex glands are like the ignition key, which releases electricity to the starter and spark plugs. Sex glands control whether there is joy, quality, and "spark" in your life.
- The adrenals are like your car's steering wheel, allowing you to maneuver the turns in the road, to get around sudden obstacles, and to safely reach your destination.
In your body, each of these three energy-regulating glands needs to be operating properly in order for the others to do a good job. This means that in order for your thyroid to be in optimal balance, you may need to rebalance your adrenal and sex glands as well.
You might now be wondering how you determine whether you really need adrenal balancing, or sex gland balancing, or both? What specific remedies should you try first? What should you do next? How can you evaluate your progress?
The answer is to first determine your "ENDO-TYPE". This is simply a maneuver to find out which of your three energy glands is causing the most uncomfortable symptoms for you at this particular time.
Step One – Find Your Endo-Type
Finding your endo-type, and giving it emergency first aid constitutes Step One of our program - the JumpStart.
Included in that section of the book are some simple questionnaires and revealing home saliva tests. Using these to ascertain your endo-type then allows you to immediately initiate the most appropriate vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for your specific imbalance.
Some people have low thyroid, low adrenal, and high estrogen. Others may have low thyroid, normal adrenal, and low estrogen. There are 27 different variants on this theme, and your interventional success depends upon knowing exactly where and how to begin.
In other words, we are recommending that you choose treatment that's right for your endo-type.
Step Two – Rebalancing Tools
After the initial symptom-relieving remedies of the jumpstart comes Step Two.
This includes intermediate rebalancing tools for healing your individual gland challenge. Discussed in detail are your best choices of herbal medicines, homeopathics, and glandulars (as well as the proper doses of the most appropriate prescription medicines for your particular endo-type).
Step 3 – Maintenance
The third step of the program offers long-term maintenance practices to retain your improved health status forever, a way to sustain your rebalancing success over the long haul.
Here the various endo-types can determine which kinds of nutrition, exercise, bodywork, aromatherapy, flower remedies, and relaxation methods are best suited for their specific type of multi-gland imbalance.
What Can You Expect?
What can you expect - or hope for - using such an approach?
- Perhaps weight loss efforts can finally begin to work now, and the results can be long-term.
- Memory, and concentration, can be much more dependable, at your command, and effective for achieving your goals.
- Most welcome, however, can be the ability to live - unfrazzled - in greater peace and harmony, within yourself and among others.
