My Review 

This program has been a godsend! I was hypothyroid and this program had helped me become more familiar with the disease and tremendously enhanced my comfort level with it. Being a part of this program made me feel like I didn't have to be on a "diet" but better yet helped me realize that small, gradual, continuos changes would make the lasting difference. I was always EXHAUSTED during the day and it seemed like no one was listening to me. All my doctors did was tell me it was part of the disease. This program changed the game for me and has made me a happier, healthier, more energetic, positive person. Now only if I had found it sooner. But at least I did and now can move forward...
