Living with Thyroid Disease Workshop Helps Thyroid Patients Design a Personalized Wellness Plan
March 11, 2012 in New York City

Most people with thyroid disease (whether it’s Hashimoto’s, nodules, Graves’/hyperthyroidism, or thyroid cancer) end up with an underactive or surgically removed thyroid, and that means one thing: hypothyroidism.

When you’re hypothyroid, you can end up with fatigue, depression, weight gain, hormonal problems and many other symptoms.

In this interactive workshop with Mary Shomon, explore hands-on tools to help you live successfully and feel well, despite an underactive or non-functional thyroid. You’ll walk away knowing how to map out a plan for optimal wellness.

The seminar focuses on the key things you can do to feel and live better with thyroid disease. The areas covered include:

optimizing your thyroid treatment
finding doctors for thyroid issues
managing fatigue and boosting energy
supplements, herbs and natural approaches to thyroid and hormone balance
thyroid drugs and hormone medications
breathing, yoga and other approaches to help with hormones and metabolism
lifestyle changes and stress management
exercise
weight-loss and diet and dieting success for thyroid patients
hair-loss solutions

Note: Please bring copies of your recent blood test results and a list of all the medications and supplements (with all the ingredients) you’re taking.

Members: $120 / Nonmembers: $130 (Plus $10 materials fee for all participants, payable the day of the workshop)

Location: New York Open Center, 22 E. 30th St., New York, NY 10016

BASELINE BLOODWORK PLUS A PHONE CONSULT
LOCATION: ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES
WHEN: ANYTIME!

Can't get to NY, and can't even get your doctor to run a Free T3 test? MyMedLab and I are offering the unique opportunity to get specialized thyroid blood tests at incredibly discounted prices, along with a 15 minute personal phone coaching consult with me to help you map out a plan of action based on your results. It's the ultimate tool for empowered thyroid patients!

Here's an overview: You get to directly order your own thyroid test panel online, but at a significantly discounted cost, far below the price normally charged to consumers. Then, you can go to a local Labcorp laboratory collection facility -- the same lab many doctors use around the country -- to have your tests done. The tests that are part of this panel include:

Thyroid (TSH)
Free T4 (FT4)
Free T3 (FT3)
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (TPO)
Thyroglobulin Antibody (Anti-thyroglobulin AB)

Check out the list of tests online at the MyMedLab site.

Results come back to you electronically, securely, and privately, all HIPAA-approved.

Then you can easily schedule a one-on-one 15 minute phone coaching consultation with me. We'll talk about your results, brainstorm questions, and if you need it, I can recommend some of the best practitioners in your area who truly understand thyroid disease and care about helping patients.

Earlier this year, I did pilot projects of this panel and process, and it was fantastic to speak to so many thyroid patients, help match them up with great doctors when necessary, and brainstorm their next steps. Some of the patients I spoke with were waiting for an upcoming doctor's appointment and wanted to be prepared for their session, and have some idea of what to expect. Some people don't have insurance that pays for labwork, and needed to get lab tests done very affordably. Others wanted to check on thyroid status between regular doctor's appointments, and their HMO or insurance won't allow for it or cover it. And some have doctors (or HMOs or insurance companies) that only check TSH and nothing else.

I have limited slots for this special testing/coaching, so if you'd like to take advantage of this opportunity, order now, visit your lab as soon as you can and you'll have results usually within 48 hours, and then you can schedule our session to talk right away, even as early as next week! It really is that fast and easy.

MyMedLab's price for the tests and coaching, when purchased online, is $315.00. That includes the tests -- AND the 15-minute personal coaching followup! If a local lab was billing you directly, you'd pay at least $500, not including the coaching time. And if a doctor was marking up the tests, who knows how much more you'd be charged? I've heard of some patients being charged more than $1,000 by their doctors for this exact panel of tests, even run by the same exact lab, Labcorp!!

Again, you can get started now by clicking here to go to MyMedLab's order page.

Remember, I'm not doctor, and coaching is never meant to replace your essential partnership with a smart, thyroid-savvy doctor! Coaching sessions are provided for educational purposes, to help you formulate questions, find those great practitioners, and be a more empowered, knowledgeable patient. (The way I describe it is that you'll fast-forward quickly up the learning curve!)
