The thyroid epidemic has been the focus of this week’s articles:
9-21: FDA Taking Natural Thyroid off the Market?
9-22: How Do You Know if You Have a Thyroid Problem?
9-23: Why Are Thyroid Lab Tests Inadequate?
9-24: Why is Hypothyroidism Growing at Epidemic Proportions?
Today I would like to focus on what to do if you suspect you may have a thyroid problem.
The approach I teach and explain in my book that will be released in October, Stop the Needless Suffering, is the LOVE Method. What is the LOVE METHOD, and how can it help you?
L: Learn all you can.
O: Obtain help.
V: Validate with lab data.
E: Engage in a plan of action that’s right for you.
For the “L,” Learn all you can – this week’s articles and references have been designed to assist with creating awareness of the thyroid epidemic that is upon us. If you suspect that you or someone you love may have a thyroid problem, please consult the references given in the articles so that you can become your own health care advocate.
For the “O,” Obtain help – it is very important to locate a health care provider who is knowledgeable about the proper diagnosis, care, and treatment of thyroid disorders. Two resources I recommend are www.canaryclub.org and the ZRT Laboratory, and Dr. Whitney Gabhart, N.D., www.whitneygabhartnd.com .
For the “V,” Validate with lab data – it is important, if thyroid disorder is suspected, to have lab work done, but most importantly, to be cared for by a practitioner who understands the proper tests to order and the proper interpretation of the results.
For the “E,” Engage in a plan that’s right for you – next week I will share information and resources to assist you in helping to support thyroid health and wellness.
Remember, one the best things you can do for your adrenals, and consequently your thyroid, is to decrease stress. We are just about ready to begin a weekend – find something fun and relaxing to do – just for you…because you deserve it! : )
