A WEIGHT OFF MY MIND -- March 2007
Diet & Weight Loss News for Thyroid, Autoimmune and Hypometabolism Patients
From Patient Advocate Mary Shomon

March 23 / New York Open Center

If you're in the New York, New Jersey or Connecticut area, I hope you'll join me for an upcoming Thyroid Seminar, scheduled for Friday March 23rd, at the New York Open Center.

The Open Center is the nation's leading holistic health center and there I'll be leading a seminar on my book, The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough: Overcoming Sexual and Hormonal Problems at Every Age. We'll talk about holistic approaches to identifying, diagnosing and resolving thyroid-related hormonal problems including infertility, PMS, menopausal problems, low sex drive, and more. And we'll have a lively question and answer session as well, as I've done for previous Open Center Classes.

The class is Friday, March 23, at 7:15pm, Course #: 07WHH75P, Cost: Open Center Members $20 / Nonmembers $22 (includes handouts). Book your space now, before the class fills up!

You can get more information and register online or register by phone by calling 212 219 2527, extension 2

If You're Thin Could You Still Be Hypothyroid?

Because so many people gain weight when the thyroid is underactive, many people -- and their doctors -- automatically rule out hypothyroidism in someone who is slender. Right or wrong?

Quiz: Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?

I have an interactive online quiz you'll want to take to help find out if your thyroid is affecting your ability to lose weight. Start the quiz now.

Shedding Pounds From Diet, Exercise -- Or Both?

If you're looking to lose those extra pounds, you probably have heard that dieting AND exercise will bring about the best results. Not so, says new research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Find out what the experts now know.

Natural Fiber May Take Away Extra Pounds

It sounds almost too good to be true, but Dr. Raylene Reimer, a researcher at the University of Calgary believes she may have found an important weapon in the war against obesity. What is it?

Supplements For Good Thyroid Health

What do I consider the basics? A great multi-vitamin, a probiotic, zinc, selenium, tyrosine, guggul, and essential fatty acids. Find out more now.

Notes from Mary

Dear Readers,

Dear Readers, I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Ted Friedman. Dr. Friedman is not only one of the nation's leading endocrinologists, but he teaches at UCLA medical school, and so he is responsible for training the next generation of doctors. Now, you don't usually hear me going on about how wonderful an endocrinologist is, but Dr. Friedman truly is different. Despite being respected by the mainstream, he is willing to take chances, buck the system, and really listen to patients, and do things differently. Here is a doctor, himself hypothyroid, who is willing to work with T3 drugs and Armour thyroid, and is known as a diligent and sympathetic detective who tracks down and solves thyroid problems. That's why I'm so pleased that he decided to write a thyroid book, one I can highly recommend. If you're looking for a great overview book that covers the whole gamut of thyroid problems broadly, "The Everything Health Guide to Thyroid Disease," is a great addition to your bookshelf.

You can order it now from Amazon.com at a discounted price!

Live well,

Mary
