If you are asking yourself these questions, you're not alone. I've asked them myself in the past, and thousands of thyroid patients have also asked them during my more than two decades as a thyroid advocate.

The truth is, you're probably like most people with thyroid issues. You're getting mediocre, ineffective, same-old same-old, one-size-fits-all thyroid treatment. As a result, you're struggling with:

​

​

You know you deserve thyroid treatment that relieves your symptoms, and makes you feel energetic, alive, happy, healthy, and vibrant. But what does that treatment look like? And, how do you get it?

I can point you to medical journals and research, but, let's be honest: it's confusing! You shouldn't have to take a course in endocrinology just to understand your thyroid condition. And last I checked, there's no Babbel course to "Learn Fluent Doctor-Speak in Two Weeks!"

Here are some of the signs that it's time for a THYROID TUNEUP!

Your engine light is on! 

Are you tired all the time, gaining weight (or unable to lose weight), feeling depressed or anxious, brain fogged, and buying an extra-large bottle of Drano for all the hair clogging your drain? WARNING! These symptoms are your huge red thyroid warning light that never turns off! You don't have to feel this way, and after your THYROID TUNEUP, you won't! 

As a thyroid patient, it's not enough to have thyroid test levels that are in the fabled "normal range." To feel great and resolve symptoms, you most likely will need test results in the "OPTIMAL range." That means you need to know which tests are important, what the optimal ranges are for these tests--AND, how you reach them. Anything less, and you're driving in the shoulder with your flashers on, while everyone else passes you by. With the THYROID TUNEUP, you'll come away totally understanding the alphabet soup of tests -- TSH, Free T4, Free T3, TPO, and Reverse T3 -- AND exactly what they mean for your health. 

When you're hypothyroid, most doctors simply hand you a prescription for levothyroxine (usually Synthroid brand), pat your head, send you on your way, and tell you to come back in a year. Research shows that there are other prescription thyroid treatment options and combinations -- and one of them may do a far better job relieving your symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, depression, brain fog, and hair loss. But if you keep putting in the wrong medication for you, you're just gunking up your metabolic engine. In the THYROID TUNEUP, I explain ALL your medication options (not just the one whose drug rep brought a fancy lunch platter from Panera to your doctor's office last week!)

There are a few nutrients, foods and supplements that are proven to help thyroid function. (Sorry, but that famed celery juice doesn't even make the list!) At the same time, there are some food and supplement no-nos that are like pouring sugar in your gas tank. You need the right food and nutritional fuel to power a tuned up thyroid, and it's all covered in the THYROID TUNEUP. 

​

Speaking of gas tanks, if you have elevated thyroid antibodies and/or elevated Reverse T3, you might as well have rocks in your tank! They both can get in the way of thyroid health, and make it harder to resolve your lingering thyroid symptoms. How do you lower them? No worries. In the THYROID TUNEUP, you'll learn the key ways to help lower antibodies and Reverse T3 and put your thyroid back on the fast track. 

When you have inflammation or imbalances in your gut, it's like your wires are all crossed. Your immune system can malfunction, contributing to thyroid, hormone, and autoimmune problems.  In the THYROID TUNEUP, you'll learn key techniques that can help rewire your gut health for better health and relief of symptoms.

If you're focusing all your attention on your thyroid and ignoring your adrenals and sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (yes, I'm talking to you too, mister!) you may as well be driving around with the parking brake on! The endocrine system works as a team, and when one member of the team isn't working, chaos ensues! The THYROID TUNEUP will help you make sure that your adrenals and sex hormones aren't putting the brakes on your thyroid!

Your nervous system and hormonal system -- including the thyroid -- take direction from the brain ...and that means that what you think and how you manage stress have important roles in how you feel physically. Think that's an airy-fairy, woo-woo idea? Actually, it's hard science, known as neuroendocrinology! When you neglect the mind-body connection, you're driving without a GPS (or even a map!) The THYROID TUNEUP provides you with practical, proven tools and tactics to navigate life's detours. 

Most of us are getting around 6 hours of sleep a night. That's known as "short sleep," and it means that you, your thyroid, and your other hormones are driving around totally under the influence...of sleep deprivation!  In your THYROID TUNEUP, you'll learn how to beat the rap, and change self-destructive and hormone-harming sleep patterns so your thyroid and hormones stay on a straight course!
