A Book Review by Mary
Shomon
In their book, Your Guide to Metabolic Health, Drs. Gina Honeyman-Lowe and John Lowe propose that a variety of diseases that are evidence of poor metabolic health are rampant. In the book, they claim to have a treatment program, called "metabolic rehabilitation," that effective treats as many as 85% of their patients.
Metabolic rehabilitation involves detailed tracking of symptoms, and addressing a variety of factors that negatively affect the metabolism. The authors identify a number of factors, including:
Detailed chapters focus on each of these factors, what they mean for metabolism, and how to deal with them to improve and optimize metabolism.
For thyroid patients alone, the book provides many welcome and refreshing perspectives, as we've come to expect from the Lowe's, who have been innovative pioneers in their practice to treat people with fibromyalgia and hypometabolism.
In Your Guide to Metabolic Health, they say:
One of the worst disasters in the history of medicine is the endocrinology specialty's modern guidelines for diagnosing and treating patients whose bodies are under-regulated by thyroid hormone. These guidelines and the beliefs they're based on have caused a worldwide public health crisis.
They go on to explain thoroughly the relationship between the thyroid and metabolism, and the thyroid/hypometabolism relationship that is so critical to health.
The book also offers one of the best descriptions of "cellular resistance to thyroid hormone," a condition that is becoming increasingly more understood, in which patients have normal laboratory levels of thyroid hormone, but these levels are not enough to convert to sufficient levels in the cells, where thyroid hormone is active.
This is not a one-pill-cures-all solution book. Rather, it's a thorough look at all the factors that can affect your metabolism, factors that may, when taken together, be the cause in some people for conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and hypothyroidism.
