"The Ultra Thyroid Solution:
A 7-step Plan to Reverse Hypothyroidism Permanently"


Thyroid problems are so common they’re epidemic.
And it’s probably the number one misdiagnosed health concern today. At least 20% of women have trouble with it… and at least 10% of men.

Your thyroid gland produces hormones that control your metabolism and hundreds of other critical functions. When it doesn’t do its job, energy crashes and a sluggish metabolism are just a few of the problems you’ll experience.

My friend and colleague Dr. Mark Hyman is a thyroid expert.
His Ultra Thyroid Solution is a simple 7-step plan for complete thyroid health.
Not only will you learn to identify and diagnose your problem, you’ll get concrete advice to reverse your symptoms.

If your doctor isn’t listening, Dr. Hyman has answers.
I recommend Ultra Thyroid Solution to all my patients. It’s by far the best resource on the growing thyroid problem. ...

While the symptoms above might not sound like a major problem on the surface, a problem with your thyroid can actually have a catastrophic impact on your health and weight.

It is often a hidden factor in many diseases, including depression, heart disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, PMS (premenstrual syndrome), menopausal symptoms, muscle and joint pains, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune diseases, and obesity.

If you are suffering from hypothyroidism, or you suspect that you have a thyroid problem, there is something you can do to uncover to underlying causes and reverse it for good.

Where conventional medicine is failing there are a small number of doctors who are on the cutting edge of the latest science providing freedom to those who have spent years on thyroid medication (and many times the wrong medication) when there were other natural methods available.

Why Conventional Medicine Has It All Wrong…

Most doctors fail to recognize that your thyroid — and the way it functions — are tied into every other system in your body. When it is out of balance, you are out of balance.

Perhaps worst of all, many of the vague and unusual symptoms are often overlooked or not diagnosed properly. While 20 percent of women and 10 percent of men have a low-functioning thyroid, half of all people with hypothyroidism are never diagnosed.

To make matters worse, those who are diagnosed (maybe even you) are often treated sub-optimally, leading to a less-than-full recovery from many of the chronic symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Historically, doctors treated thyroid disease based on symptoms and physical examination. Now doctors rely almost completely on laboratory testing, which prevents them from diagnosing more subtle cases not detected by our conventional approach to thinking about thyroid disease.

Why is it so difficult to diagnose and treat low thyroid function?
The main reason is that the symptoms are not very specific and are often present for many reasons besides a thyroid disorder.

Anyone can diagnose a heart attack if they see someone who is pale, sweaty, clutching his or her chest, and complaining of crushing pain. Thyroid problems are completely different. Even if you have all the symptoms of low thyroid function, they can still easily be ignored. You may not even realize that the problem is with your thyroid gland.

Even if you have the foresight to go to the doctor, your doctor may use typical tests for thyroid problems and find that your thyroid appears to be functioning in the normal range.

But many times doctors don’t do the right tests or don’t do enough tests, so your thyroid problems go undetected. You may be told you have borderline thyroid problems or sub-clinical thyroid disease and your doctor will watch it… what will he watch it for? For you to get really sick?

Why Is Your Thyroid So Important?

The thyroid is a small hormonal gland in your neck that makes 93% of the inactive hormone called T4 and 7% of the active hormone T3.

The inactive hormone T4 is converted into the active T3 in the liver. T3 is the major metabolism hormone and controls almost every function of the body.

If you produce too little T3, or if the T4 you produce is not being properly converted into T3, your whole system goes haywire, you put on unwanted pounds, and you suffer from the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

T3 is critically important because it acts to send messages to your DNA to turn up your metabolism, and generally make every system in your body work at the right speed.

This is why T3 may lower your cholesterol, improve your memory, keep you thin, promote re-growth of hair in cases of loss, relieve muscle aches, relieve constipation, and even help with infertility in some patients.

What Are the Underlying Causes of
Your Low-Functioning Thyroid?

When addressing any chronic health condition, it is critical to identify and treat the underlying causes. This is particularly true in the case of thyroid disease.

Without addressing the underlying causes and factors that interfere with or alter thyroid function, full recovery is often not possible.

There are many causes of hypothyroidism that are never addressed or treated when diagnosed; things like imbalances in stress hormones, environmental toxins, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and infections all may be a source of the problem.

Focusing on balancing the core systems in your body is part of a radical new way of understanding health. It is called functional medicine; I refer to it as UltraWellness. This way of thinking has allowed us to understand how our genes, our environment and our lifestyles interact to determine the health of our body and more specifically our thyroid.

Unfortunately, the medical community at large is not thinking this way.
That is why close to 20 percent of woman and 10 percent of men continue to struggle with the effects and symptoms of a low-functioning thyroid. And to make matters worse, half of those are never diagnosed.

Instead of treating the body as a system and working to bring it back into balance, most doctors simply look at the disease.

For example, when checking the thyroid, most physicians simply check a blood test called TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone); if it is normal, they believe the thyroid is not an issue, and they move right along looking for the next diagnosis.

However, by focusing on the underlying systems in the body instead of on the yes-or-no diagnoses that have governed medicine for so long, we now have the tools we need to help cure the suffering that thyroid disease and so many other chronic problems creates.

Reversing Hypothyroidism Using A Systems Approach:
The Ultra Thyroid Solution

My goal in medicine is to provide a way of navigating and sorting through health information based on an entirely new set of questions a new way of thinking about health and disease. I want to find the right medicine for each person, regardless of what it is. ..

I designed The Ultra Thyroid Solution as a detailed plan for those who have been on thyroid medication for years and have been told they would have to stay on it for life, and also for those who suspect they have a low-functioning thyroid and wish to reverse it.

In this report, you’ll get access to the latest scientific research available on diagnosing and treating hypothyroidism. It includes the most current information available on:

    • What the thyroid does and how it works…
    • Which tests to get to determine whether you have a problem…
    • How to address underlying issues that may be exacerbating your thyroid condition…
    • What changes to make in your eating habits to help your thyroid get the nutrition it needs…
    • Which supplements to take to support the function of your thyroid…
    • Which therapeutic treatments may help you deal with the underlying causes of hypothyroidism…
    • What to tell your doctor so you can get the information you need to address this problem effectively…

    Dr. Hyman's 7-Step Plan:
  1. Take the Quiz: Identify and Diagnose Hypothyroidism
  2. Nutritional Therapy (which foods impair your thyroid, and which promote healing)
  3. Exercise Therapy (make your cells more sensitive to the thyroid hormone)
  4. Stress Reduction Therapy (minimize stress and improve hormone production)
  5. Supplement Therapy (stimulate thyroid function)
  6. Sauna and Heat Therapy (eliminate petrochemical toxins)
  7. Thyroid Replacement Therapy (when medications are needed)

The first six steps of the program are applicable to everyone who is suffering from a low-functioning thyroid, no matter how slight the problem may be. The seventh step (medication) is needed in certain, more severe cases and is clearly a course you can pursue only with the assistance of a physician.

However, once medication is started, it is not always necessary to take it for life, which is another common misperception. Once all the factors that disturb thyroid function have been corrected, you may be able to reduce or discontinue the thyroid hormone. But that's a decision that you should leave for your doctor.
