This week I reviewed several new health books that will be making their debut later this year. The one that stood out the most was "The Menopause Thyroid Solution" by Mary Shomon. Like the others, I was asked to write a professional endorsement, which was my pleasure for this publication, because Mary and I are on the same wavelength if you read "Before the Change" and/or "Hot Times."
In the intro to her book, she writes the following about menopause and the thyroid:
