Description

Health & Fitness. Nonfiction. HTML: A Yale-trained, board-certified family physician with a specialty in women's health and obstetrics delivers a proven 28-day program to heal the overwhelmed, overloaded systems, and prevent and reverse the myriad of symptoms affecting the vast majority of women today. Weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions�??for years, health practitioners have commonly viewed each as individual health problems resulting from a patient's genetic bad luck, poor lifestyle choices, or lack of willpower.

The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution explains SOS, how it impacts our bodies and can lead to illness, and most importantly, offers a drug-free cure developed through Dr. Romm's research and clinical work with tens of thousands of patients. In as little as two weeks, you can lose excess weight, discover increased energy, improve sleep, and feel better. With The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution, you can rescue your metabolism, hormones, mind and mood�??and achieve long-lasting hea… (more)

The book contains a lot of interesting information and is written by a medical professional. It offers a comprehensive program to help you solve the emotional and physical symptoms that make you feel sick and tired. Contains questionnaires for assessment, sample menus, shopping list and recipes.

The plan is probably worth a try, but I found the writing very repetitive and lacking scientific studies.
