From New York Times bestselling author and nationally recognized patient advocate Mary J. Shomon comes a ground-breaking guide to safely managing menopause through a better understanding of and better care for your thyroid.

If you're one of the forty million American women struggling through menopause, you probably know all about the symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, and depression. But what you may not know is that the drop in reproductive hormones frequently triggers a thyroid slowdown — a "thyropause" — that can be the main cause for those troublesome symptoms. In fact, you may not even need hormone therapy, wild yam and progesterone creams, or herbs like black cohosh for a symptom-free menopause. What you really need is to begin to pay attention to your thyroid.

In The Menopause Thyroid Solution, Mary J. Shomon will help you:

• Recognize the symptoms of a thyroid problem versus those of menopause
• Learn how to get your problems diagnosed and treated
• Find out what and how to eat, what medications to consider, what supplements to take, and what lifestyle changes to make
• Improve your metabolism and increase your energy

The book includes over 30 pages of T-Tapp exercise specifically designed to balance out the hormones and stimulate thyroid function. Mary is such a wonderful resource for peri-menopausal and menopausal women; it's an honor to be invited to be part of her book!

"After doing T-Tapp for one week, I lost 12 inches and felt like I'd done Pilates every day for a month in terms of strength and flexibility. This workout works!"
