The Best Thyroid Books & Guides for Patients

from Mary Shomon

Here are my best recommendations for books and guides about thyroid disease, the type of materials that can help you get diagnosed, treated, and return to optimal wellness!

BOOKS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON PATIENTS
If you are looking for patient-oriented, empowering books that combine conventional and alternative approaches to the most common thyroid conditions, then your best bet is a book written by a thyroid patient. These books combine information with the personal information and insight you'll only find from people who have themselves experienced thyroid disease.
