One-Minute Book Review

The Thyroid Connection: Why You Feel Tired, Brain-Fogged, And Overweight—And How To Get Your Life Back – by Dr. Amy Meyers

Many people’s thyroids aren’t doing an amazing job, and instead are underactive or overactive, either of which will have a big impact on many areas of health. And yet, it tends to go underdiagnosed. Why?

Dr. Meyers makes the case that many doctors don’t do the right tests, and if they do, often refer to benchmarks that are based on science that was cutting-edge in the 1970s, and declare things “within acceptable ranges” that are not only not optimal, but also likely to get worse if not addressed.

While advocating for proactive (and more comprehensive) testing, once a thyroid condition is identified, she argues for lifestyle interventions as the thing to try first, since many people’s thyroid conditions can be managed this way without the drawbacks of various medical treatments. Nevertheless she does discuss the medical options too, even if she strongly recommends trying out her 28-day plan first.

The style is very accessible pop-science, with minimal jargon, albeit a generous bibliography. She can be a little bit salesy in her presentation, but it doesn’t take away from the valuable content.

Bottom line: if your energy levels aren’t what they used to be, and you’re not positively sure (i.e. you had tests and understand the numbers) that it’s not thyroid issues, then this book is well-worth checking out.
