Review of
Instaread Summary, Analysis & Review of Amy
Myers's The Thyroid Connection Why You
Feel Tired, Brain-Fogged and Overweight— and How to Get Your Life Back
Five out of five stars
Given the role
that it plays in regulating so many aspects of body functioning, having the
thyroid gland malfunction leads to systemic problems. Furthermore, the problems
that are a consequence of a thyroid gland malfunction can appear to have other
causes. Finally, some of the problems of the thyroid are autoimmune diseases,
where the thyroid is attacked by the body’s immune system. Given all of this,
it is hardly surprising that thyroid malfunctions are often misdiagnosed or
simply missed altogether.
In situations
like this, the sufferer can take some control of their treatment by learning
about the problems and investigating the ways others were able to treat their
problems by altering their lifestyle. Like nearly all other medical conditions,
thyroid malfunction is improved by reducing stress, eating better and being
active. For some, dramatically reducing the consumption of certain foods has
led to a dramatic improvement.
The book being
summarized is about “self-treatment” of a thyroid condition as well as being
more proactive when meeting with medical practitioners. One of the simplest
actions that you can take is to learn about the condition and if it sounds
likely that you have a malfunctioning thyroid, asking for the proper tests to
be performed.
I found the
summary interesting, as it demonstrated that the book is not one of the
self-help medical books that are worse than useless. In fact some of them can
be dangerous. While not everyone will be helped, for some people, reading this
summary will be the first step in improving their lives. Reading and
understanding quality medical information is one of the ways that a person can
improve their medical care. As is correctly mentioned in this summary, there
are simple ways that a person can safely and effectively self-medicate.
