Product Description
From New York Times bestselling author and nationally recognized patient advocate Mary J. Shomon comes a groundbreaking guide to safely managing menopause through a better understanding of and better care for your thyroid. If you're one of the forty million American women struggling through menopause, you probably know all about the symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, and depression. But what you may not know is that the drop in reproductive hormones frequently triggers a thyroid slowdown—a "thyropause"—that can be the main cause for those troublesome symptoms. In fact, you may not even need hormone therapy, wild yam and progesterone creams, or herbs like black cohosh for a symptom-free menopause. What you really need is to begin to pay attention to your thyroid. In The Menopause Thyroid Solution, Mary J. Shomon will help you: - Recognize the symptoms of a thyroid problem versus those of menopause
- Learn how to get your problems diagnosed and treated
- Find out what and how to eat, what medications to consider, what supplements to take, and what lifestyle changes to make
- Improve your metabolism and increase your energy

Understanding the hormone debates... November 18, 2009
Sally Stewart (Richmond, CA United States)
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Mary Shomon clearly lays out the issues concerning the latest information, belief systems and science concerning hormones in the aging body. I have been interested in this topic for nearly 15 years...when I first heard John R. Lee, MD speak on progesterone. As an early pioneer who treated women with severe osteoporosis with ProGest, he discovered that, indeed, these women could rebuild bone! Since then, I have continued to read what I could find on the Internet about bioidentical hormones. Never sure which physicians to trust, I went without hormones. As John Lee, MD first pointed out...the lack of studies on bioidentical hormone replacement versus synthetic hormones is due to the money that the pharmeceuticals make from their own patents. However, when physicians who are well educated read the studies that do exist, they, too begin to believe in the importance of testing and supplementing the body with needed hormones. What an impact on one's quality of life! Read this book...it is written in layman's terms. It's very helpful because it empowers you to have a meaningful conversation with your physician. If your physician can't respond, give him/her a copy!!! Ultimately, you must know your own body, how it functions and what symptoms you have. It's a big responsibility to take on but it's so worth it. Ignorance is NOT bliss!

This book is excellent. Whether you have had thyroid problems for years or newly diagnosed, this book will help you understand both thyroid problems and menopause problems and how they are sometimes intertwined. I have had thyroid problems for almost 3 decades and still learned many things about thyroid that I simply never knew. I highly recommed this book for all women - young or old.
Truly helpful info for women (and those who love them) of "a certain age" October 14, 2009

Mary Shomon has once again given some truly helpful thyroid information, this time for women "of a certain age." And, boy, can thyroid woes combined with perimenopause/menopause give many of us a one-two punch! It is so unfortunate that many doctors do not put all endocrine information together - thyroid issues AND menopause (!) - yet Mary has connected many dots and gives a wide range of well-researched information and suggestions in a balanced, holistic approach that includes everything from understanding how ALL hormones connect, nutrition, possible supplements, types of hormonal testing, the gamut of hormonal treatments available, exercise suggestions, and many alternative approaches. After reading this wonderful book, perimenopausal/menopausal women will have enough information to discuss a variety of options with health care providers to address their symptoms as well as empowering women to look beyond just what their providers know.
