A GREAT book for recipes & living with hashimotos thyroiditis!
My husband was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Some of his symptoms were stereotypical for the diagnosis, hair loss, swelling in throat, extreme fatigue, etc. Once diagnosed he set out to find out how he can help himself feel better and found that his diet was a HUGE factor and plays a much bigger role than even the specialists will admit to! He has gone to TWO specialists and they both eschew the diet myth.....but after a huge amount of research and a big dietary change, he has been able to put his symptoms at bay!
Finding the appropriate literature, website, and books has been a challenge to say the least. There are a lot of “similar” but not quite “it” cookbooks and suggestions out there...but this book is the BEST I've found because all of the contents are specific for the diagnosis!
The first two chapters discuss the diagnosis itself, what it means, and how to find help. This is followed by a chapter about how your diet affects you and one about living with the diagnosis and treating yourself right. The next section is the four week program laid out an an easy to follow format. The program offers you places to write in your own information and journal/log your progress. Chapter 6 gives you a general idea of what staples you will need in your kitchen for your future of eating right. The rest of the chapters are all recipes, sorted by meal-type.
My husband is thrilled with this book and is very happy to know that there are other people out there that have found a way to live a little more comfortably with Hashomoto's disease by controlling their diet!
I have included a few of my own product photos for you to see rather than relying on “stock” photos in the listing. *I received a sample of this item at a discount in return for an honest and unbiased review*
