Hashimoto's Protocol

Dr. Izabella Wentz, the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller Hashimoto s Thyroiditis, returns with a long-awaited, groundbreaking prescription to reverse the symptoms of this serious autoimmune condition that is becoming one of the country s fastest growing diseases. More than thirty-five million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto s-an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells. To alleviate the symptoms of this debilitating condition-including chronic cough, acid reflux, IBS, allergies, chronic pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness-patients are often prescribed synthetic hormones that have numerous life-altering side effects. But there is a better way. Diagnosed with Hashimoto s at twenty-seven, pharmacist Dr. Izabella Wentz knows first-hand the effects of the disease, as well as the value-and limitations-of medication. The key to improved health, she argues, involves lifestyle interventions. In Hashimoto s Protocol, she outlines a proven treatment that has helped thousands heal and many others feel better-in as fast as ninety days. Drawing on her own personal experience as well as her work consulting with thousands of patients, Hashimoto s Protocol offers a practical pathway for healing and reversing the autoimmune damage at the root of the disease. The first step is a quick-start two-week detox that includes foods to eat and inflammatory foods to avoid, advice on supplements to support the liver, and an adrenal recovery plan. Next, readers create a personalized plan with foods, supplements, and other lifestyle interventions tailored to their body s own unique Hashimoto s triggers, which they can identify using self-tests included in the book. Hashimoto s Protocol also features original recipes. Grounded in the latest science, Hashimoto s Protocol is the first book to offer a proven protocol by an acknowledged expert in the field to treat this condition without dangerous hormones-and help sufferers reclaim their lives.
