ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
An expert physician/ nurse team offers a practical, hands-on program to restore thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive balance-and feel better fast.
You're exhausted, and you've gained weight; you feel mentally fuzzy much of the time, and don't feel that you handle day-to-day stress as well as you once did. Worried, you visit the doctor, who orders the typical battery of tests. Two weeks later, you're assured that everything's fine.
Sound familiar? If you're one of the 33 million Americans suffering from hormone-related metabolic problems, the answer is a resounding yes. Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? is the first book to expose and address the delicate, life-altering balance among the thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. This multi-gland approach-missing from other hormone-related books-can make the day-to-day difference between feeling awful and feeling good. If left untreated long-term, this imbalance can cause heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, infertility, and severe menopause.
Practical and hands-on, this book offers readers: an innovative, integrated self-care program to identify their thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive-related metabolic disorder (through easy, inexpensive, noninvasive diagnostic tests and questionnaires); a "5-day jumpstart program" to help alleviate symptoms of weight gain, low energy, or frayed nerves fast (through vitamins, minerals, and nutrition); and a long-term plan to achieve optimal health, complete with advice for finding and partnering with the right doctor.

USER REVIEWS
"There are many theories about how our bodies work, and this one is about the best I've read. My doctors don't accept that my thyroid has anything to do with all my problems, but it was good to read that I may be able to solve some of my maladies. I have been suffering for years with joint pain and have type2 diabetes. By the end of a day, I am exhausted. I am not finished reading yet, but look forward to feeling better real soon."

"I commend practitioners whom encourage self-education and teamwork as they have been of great value in my road to recovering optimal health. Dr. Shames has been around a long time and has been committed to treating thyroid issues continually through the years. You can buy your supplements and get your testing anywhere you want. The point is, take action and empower yourself in every way possible until you find what works. It is a good addition to the thyroid books that are out there and it has helped me refine my knowledge in ways that has brought progress to my search for control over Hashimoto's."

"I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and other metabolic problems years ago and have read a lot of books on the subject. This was the first one to really explain the relationships between the hormones in a way I could understand. So many people don't realize if you have one hormonal problem, there are probably others that may not be showing obvious symptoms. This book helps the average person make the connections.
Before, the doctors were treating the different problems separately. This book put me on the right track. It enabled me to ask better questions and to be a more informed patient. At my last appointment, my doctor told me I had really done my homework and that would make working together easier. The credit goes to this book more than any other.
It's not perfect, and there are a few over generalizations, but those small annoyances are worth it for the wealth of information in this book.
It has a permanent place on my keeper shelf "

"This book is a joke, it simplifies the complexities of endocrine problems. You're better off going to a "real doctor" than waste your time and money reading this book! Its recommendations are dangerous, encouraging self medication with alternative supplements; and silly, "Don't watch stressful movies if you have adrenal problems". Do yourself a favor and pass on this book."
