How Does The Protein Boost Diet Work? When you become overweight or obese, regardless of the cause, the hormones that regulate your body fat become imbalanced as a result of the weight gain. This imbalance can be observed at both the tissue and cell level. The metabolism-energizing hormones that normally make you burn fat to generate heat, leptin and thyroid hormone become inefficient. Now you suffer from both leptin and thyroid hormone resistance. The Protein Boost Diet utilizes foods to energize your mitochondria and make these hormones work more efficiently. It also improves and re-balances the activity of growth hormone,...

The Thyroid Solution features real-life challenges that thyroid patients face on a daily basis, including depression, mood swing disorders, PMS symptoms, escalation of menopausal symptoms, miscarriages, infertility, sexual dysfunction, postpartum depression, and relationship problems. It demonstrates how thyroid imbalances can cause persistent weight problems even after your thyroid imbalance has been corrected with treatment. It will provide the most comprehensive program for successful weight loss with treatment of your thyroid condition, including the use of thyroid medication, diet, exercise, herbs, and supplements. Due to strong demand we have developed a Spanish version of the book.

Recent recent research suggests a strong association between iron deficiency & hypothyroidism in pregnant women. In a study published in the European Journal of Endocrinology testing 1,900 women in a hospital in Brussels, Belgium, throughout the first three months of pregnancy, researchers found something interesting. About 35% of the women had low iron levels and among that group, around 20% had subclinical hypothyroidism and about 10% had high thyroid antibody levels, indicating immune system attacks on the thyroid (typically from Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis or Graves’ Disease). In contrast, about 16% of women with normal iron levels had low thyroid function and...

For the first time, heart and thyroid function have been analyzed in the context of short-term sleep deprivation. In a small study done by the Radiology Society of North America, twenty radiologists who work extremely long hospital shifts were tested in Bonn, Germany. In addition to blood, urine, and blood pressure, other parameters were analyzed. The subjects were tested before and after their 24-hour shifts with an average of three hours of sleep. All of the subjects were considered healthy. Overall, the study found that the heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac contractility had significantly increased after the 24-hour shift....
