YOU MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS OF A SLUGGISH METABOLISM (HYPOTHYROIDISM) EVEN IF YOUR THYROID BLOOD TESTS APPEAR NORMAL: In Test Your Thyroid Function, biochemist Benedicte Mai Lerche, MSc, PhD, addresses this critical issue by introducing a more accurate method of thyroid testing based on Dr. Ray Peat's research. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: This comprehensive guide provides the tools and knowledge to assess your thyroid health and accurately detect hypothyroidism. It explains how to interpret thyroid lab results using optimal values rather than broad reference ranges. The book also teaches you how to monitor your metabolism at home by tracking pulse rate, temperature, and symptoms of low thyroid function. KEY TOPICS COVERED: ✅ The role of the thyroid gland in regulating metabolism ✅ How the T3 hormone controls the metabolic rate ✅ Recognizing common symptoms of hypothyroidism ✅ How stress impacts thyroid function ✅ The anti-metabolic effects of reverse T3 (rT3) ✅ Issues with converting T4 to T3 ✅ Understanding blood tests for TSH, T4, T3, rT3, and thyroid antibodies ✅ Interpreting lab results based on Dr. Ray Peat's research ✅ Differences between optimal and "normal" values for thyroid lab tests ✅ Preparing for thyroid blood tests ✅ Why thyroid antibodies become elevated ✅ The truth about Hashimoto's Thyroiditis ✅ How Dr. Broda Barnes used temperature to diagnose hypothyroidism ✅ Why Dr. Ray Peat relied on both temperature and pulse to track metabolism ✅ How to use pulse and temperature to track your metabolism at home ➕ And much more TABLES & TEMPLATES FOR TRACKING YOUR METABOLISM: 📋 A table comparing optimal values with standard values for thyroid blood tests 📋 Tables showing pulse and temperature ranges for healthy thyroid function 📋 A list of symptoms associated with hypothyroidism 📋 Personal tracking templates for pulse, temperature, and symptoms WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR: Test Your Thyroid Function is perfect for those who suspect their health issues are related to a sluggish metabolism (hypothyroidism) and for thyroid patients who want to track their metabolic health with confidence and precision. If you've been told your thyroid blood tests are normal but still experience symptoms of hypothyroidism, this book offers a comprehensive, straightforward guide that clears up the confusion surrounding thyroid testing. It provides crucial insights for understanding and monitoring both thyroid function and metabolic health at the cellular level. HEALING METABOLISM - BOOK SERIES: This book is the second volume in Benedicte Mai Lerche's Healing Metabolism series: Book 1: How I Overcame Hypothyroidism Book 2: Test Your Thyroid Function Book 3: How To Boost Metabolism With Food
Thyroid Nodules
Utilizing the most current evidence, this practical book is the first publication of its kind to focus exclusively on the clinical and laboratory evaluation and therapy of thyroid nodules, including advances in evaluation and controversies in management. Opening with chapters presenting the epidemiology, history, laboratory and clinical evaluation of thyroid nodules, the use of radioactive isotope ultrasound and CT scanning in diagnosis is then described. The interpretation of thyroid cytology following fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies and the use of molecular markers are discussed in detail, as is the controversial use of thyroxine therapy. Following a presentation of the common and minimally invasive surgical approaches to thyroid nodules, chapters on multinodal goiters, incidentalomas and thyroid nodules in children round out the presentation. Written and edited by leading US and international thyroidologists, Thyroid Nodules is a useful, state-of-the-art text for endocrinologists, surgeons, and primary care physicians.
