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

I got this book out of concern for my wife and found that the information is invaluable. Part of my wife’s issues are related to thyroid and part to menopause, and the book helps with both. The book is both easy to understand and provides practical solutions. It also helped me understand what she was going through and how I could help. A very useful book.

The Menopause Thyroid Solution: Overcome Menopause by Solving Your Hidden Thyroid Problems
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!

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.

The Menopause Thyroid Solution: Overcome Menopause by Solving Your Hidden Thyroid Problems
Mary Shomon’s books never fail to enlighten and this book is no exception. This book is a must read for anyone nearing perimenopause/menopause. Mary is our patient expert on thyroid disease and you won’t find an author with a more knowledgeable and well-rounded view point. The incidence of thyroid disease increases as women age, so it’s important to verify thyroid health, especially when other hormone levels are changing. The thyroid is only one component of the equation and Mary does an excellent job of covering all facets of perimenopause/menopause diagnosis and treatments (both traditional and natural).
