This book became the cornerstone of my research

Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back by Izabella Wentz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book contained so much valuable information. I took pages and pages of notes to the point that I feel like I'll be teaching my doctors a few things. Her section about supplements (vitamins) was invaluable. I went out and bought all of the supplements, and honestly feel a little more energy since I started taking them. Your body needs mineral supplements (and what is found in a healthy diet) to run properly (just a few of them are selenium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D). The supplements are not usually either found in daily vitamins, or it they are, they are not at a high enough concentration to help. She also includes a section regarding diagnostic testing to find out if you are one of the 80% of hypothyroid people who actually have Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

This is just a small part of the research I've been doing, but it was a great start. It gave me a foundation for how the endocrine system works, what Hashimoto's is and what it does to your body. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to gain a good foundation for your hypothyroid issues.
