I have mixed feelings about this book. It is extremely informative and well-researched. I totally appreciate that the author herself struggled with Hashimotos and stubbornly worked to put it in remission. I actually think that's paramount. In my mind, that gives her writing more weight and sympathy.Dec 05, 2016
Hashimotos Thyroiditis: Lifestyles Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause by Izabella Wentz is a book to help people who are suffering from Hashimoto's thyroid disease, an autoimmune disorder that destroys the thyroid gland.Jan 27, 2015
EDIT 9.17.2017: people keep seeing this and liking it. So I feel that I need to address here, not just in the comments, that this was all crap. What I wrote was true--that I found myself and my symptoms on page after page of Wentz's book. And it was true that her story of health in response to her measured actions as detailed on the pages of her book gave me hope.Jan 02, 2016
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's a few years ago. Since then, it's been a roller-coaster, as I continually work to feel better. I'm also a scientist by training, and the idea of finding and treating a root cause of a disease, rather than just the symptoms, is really, really attractive to me. Hence, buying and reading this book.Sep 01, 2014
Normally, I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the book I've been waiting for! I have been searching and searching and I feel like I just stumbled onto a gold mine. I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's in May 2014 not knowing anything about this disease and I ordered this book. It is my go-to reference book. I have highlighted, put notations in margins, stuck sticky notes on pages, and copied quotes.Nov 17, 2013
Completely indispensible when it comes to understanding the thyroid and how to care for it, as well as how to determine the root cause(s) of your own autoimmune disorder so you can address those and help put your disease into remission.Nov 23, 2013
Finally, a book that explains Thyroiditis and what you can do to help it besides just pills.Feb 01, 2014
What a great book! Highly recommend it to any one who suspects they may have thyroid disease. There is so much information packed into this book and it is very well organized and easy to read. This is a book worth owning, as I will probably keep referring back to it.Feb 04, 2014
Easy to read (not too techie)Jan 09, 2017
Full of valuable information. My highlights:Sep 26, 2018
This was a very thorough and helpful read! Though I know Wentz also ended up writing Hashimoto's Protocol because some readers wanted a more detailed "plan" for recovery, I actually found this first book to be more helpful, with a more usable format.Apr 09, 2014
Excellent book for anyone with fatigue, weight issues, or suspected Thyroid issues. Great read!Mar 16, 2014
Great book! Easy to understand, good advice, well-laid out. Highly recommended!Apr 27, 2014
Really fascinating (at least for a biomedical geek like me) and very encouraging. It might be overwhelming at first but I'd rather have lots of options to try and the reasoning and research behind them. Of course, I hope you never have to read this but I'm glad its around.Jul 29, 2014
Because I read this book, I knew what medication to ask for when I saw my endocrinologist. This is definately a book to keep close by if you have hasimoto's because you will want to refer to it often!Sep 05, 2013
I got this as a paperback from Amazon and came HIGHLY recommended to me. It was well written and full of good advice, but I found some of it too technical for the layperson. I was lost in the chemistry explanations...maybe I will have to go back and read it again section by section.Oct 31, 2014
Recently diagnosed after I had my first child. The drs just gave my synthroid and sent me on my way, but I was still experiencing chronic fatigue, mood swings, depression, anxiety, dry skin, heart palpitations, weight gain, and hair loss. This book has changed my life. I am gluten free, dairy free, and on supplements. I am starting to feel so much better.Jul 11, 2017
I would recommend this book for anyone diagnosed with Hashimotos and acid reflux. It is one of the only books I have found that explains the connection between these two conditions. It goes through and summarizes a number of different diets out there and explains what works and what doesn't along with how to adapt them to you. The book's excellent information on dietary supplements may have even saved my life. Previous books on the subject only described what supplements might help but they I would recommend this book for anyone diagnosed with Hashimotos and acid reflux.

The book's excellent information on dietary supplements may have even saved my life. Previous books on the subject only described what supplements might help but they didn't go through dosage, when to take them, what supplements work well together and what the possible side effects might be like this book does. I had unknowingly been overdosing on magnesium and had been getting sicker and sicker without knowing why until I read this book. I cut my magnesium by a lot and now feel better. There is also an excellent section on the role of iodine where I discovered that your Hashimotos gets worse the more iodine you consume and after reading the list of foods that are high in iodine I discovered soup broth was on that list. I had been eating soup almost everyday making my condition worse and after this book I quit doing that and could see some real improvement. While I probably won't follow every piece of advice in the book there is a lot of good information and it is presented in a way where you feel like here are your possible paths for getting better now you decide which path you want to take. ...moreJan 29, 2017
More like three and a half stars, really. I loved the first half of this book, where she explains what's going on with Hashimoto's and the different tests for it, and why so many doctors don't diagnosis it correctly. She could have been writing about my situation exactly.Dec 13, 2017
The author is a pharmacist who has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT). She gives lots of technical information with tables and charts and extensive lists of supplements and dosages. On page 324 she gives her personal history of symptoms and and illnesses and ends with her diagnosis of thyroiditis (HT). This book is her personal journey of getting better with HT.

She gives lots of interesting recommendations, but never pinpoints much, she just punts to "we are all different and all react differently but some of this might help". I think all her recommendations apply to all illness and not specifically to HT. I would have given only two or three stars but for two things: first, I like biographies, and second, I think health is so important that anything that may help anyone is worth an extra star.Apr 01, 2018
As someone who just found out she had a thyroid problem seven months ago (after unknowingly suffering from it for more than four years), as well as being diagnosed with Hashimoto's just last week, this book was very helpful for me. It underlined and clarified a few things my new endocrinologist had said in our first, short appointment together. I came to her with my list of symptoms, and she told me on the spot that I had Hashimoto's, but thankfully proceeded to run no less than six blood tests As someone who just found out she had a thyroid problem seven months ago (after unknowingly suffering from it for more than four years), as well as being diagnosed with Hashimoto's just last week, this book was very helpful for me.

I came to her with my list of symptoms, and she told me on the spot that I had Hashimoto's, but thankfully proceeded to run no less than six blood tests to rule out other possibilities. The tests came back as extremely positive for Hashimoto's, but negative for all other autoimmune diseases. Once I knew what I had, I wanted more info and ways to manage the condition immediately.Jun 21, 2016
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's half of my life ago, and sometimes I forget that it is not normal to feel at least mildly crappy all the time. Over 20+ years, two pregnancies, countless medication adjustments, and repeated searches for a good doctor whenever I moved to a new city, I've experienced periods of visible goiter, crushing fatigue, hives, eye problems, swollen legs, sudden weight fluctuations, hair loss, chronic digestive issues, insomnia/hypersomnia...

It's a roller coaster ride, and treatment is a crapshoot since doctors' approaches vary so widely. I've seen endos who swear by TSH-only testing and synthetic T4-only hormone replacement, and tell patients they're being adequately treated if their TSH is anywhere near the "normal" range - even though normal is different for each person, the "normal" range is quite wide, and thyroid hormone is delivered in micrograms. I've seen others who have suggested all-animal thyroid extract treatment, told me to cut out wheat, dairy, soy, corn, nightshades, alcohol, and caffeine, and sent me off with a list of a dozen expensive supplements that I should be taking daily. A lot of the advice in this book is closer to the second camp, and realistically, I will not make tending my body a full-time job if I can avoid it. What this book does have that other information sources on the topic do not (and I have consulted many) is a very thorough explanation of how the thyroid works and interacts with other systems and various medications and food ingredients. It emphasizes that everyone's body is different and that patients must take responsibility for coordinating their own care, and encourages detailed medical history and trial and error experimentation to determine which interventions will be most effective for a particular person. As we age and deal with various life changes, managing this condition will always be a balancing act. There is a lot of good material to work with here. ...moreDec 31, 2014
The science about thyroiditis was over my head. She's a pharmacist (read: chemistry geek). Even though I didn't understand what to her was probably a simplistic explanation, the fact that she had studied it so thoroughly gave me confidence that she knew what she was talking about.Apr 13, 2015
I got this book from a friend when she learned I was diagnosed with Hashimotos. I picked it up and started reading it months later after another friend mentioned it on Facebook. Boy, the things I've learned, but most baffling is that my doctor, who diagnosed me, doesn't know a thing about treating it. This book is helping me already. When I was diagnosed, my doctor recommended I supplement iodine into my diet. I wasn't doing very well and didn't know why, but when I read the portion of the book I got this book from a friend when she learned I was diagnosed with Hashimotos.

I then started on some of the supplementation Izabella recommends, which are rendering good results as well. I have an appointment with my doctor for my annual blood work, etc., I'm taking this book and a list of tests I'd like to have done to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Then, I'm going to find someone that does treat Hashimotos. Great book!!! ...moreApr 07, 2014
This book helped me understand different symptoms of Hashimotos and various digestive, neurological symptoms are related to thyroid dysfunction.

Many of them are things I've been asking medical professionals about for years. After reading this book I started doing more research on autoimmune disorders because I realized all these years I've thought of myself (and been treated) as a hypothyroid patient and what I really am is an autoimmune thyroid patient. The strategies for healing are much more diverse when you take autoimmunity into account. Her methods for healing aren't as clear cut as in The Paleo Approach by Sarah Ballantyne but it's a good introduction to the myriad of ways the body is impacted by an imbalanced immune system. ...moreTake your time and choose the perfect book.
