Using the most current evidence-based guidelines from the American Thyroid Association, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and available research, this guide addresses:
- Thyroid function, weight regulation, and the role of iodine
- Energy and nutrient requirements in thyroid disease
- Diagnosis, medical management, and applying the Nutrition Care Process to provide patient-centered nutrition care for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer
- Awareness of additional interventions, including alternative treatments
- Working with special populations, related conditions and issues, and prevention strategies
Useful appendix materials include sample food plans, low iodine diet guidelines, a list of goitrogens, monitoring recommendations, suggested resources, and more.
The book is written for healthcare professionals: physicians, dietitians, and other allied health professionals. It is not meant for students. I see this being useful in endocrinology practices, chiropractic offices, and natural medicine professionals. The author appears to be a credible authority on this subject. However, she noted to "keep an open mind," highlighting that the information presented may not be 100% evidence-based and maybe some of her own opinion and experience.
Doody's Review
Score: 60/100
Stars: 2
"While there are many books about thyroid disease, this is the first that integrates pathophysiology, medical treatment, and nutrition recommendations. This book could be a useful resource for health professionals who work with a large number of thyroid patients and wish to explore complementary treatment options for their thyroid condition."
