It's Not About the Diet: Feel Strong and Alive RIGHT NOW, Paperback/Desiree Green

What happens when a tiny, butterfl y-shaped gland in your neck starts to malfunction? Taking a pill won't fix the problem ... nor will surgery. What's left? It's called the thyroid, the "master gland of the metabolism." When it starts to wear down, or gets overworked, or stops altogether, you feel awful. Your doctor prescribes pills--then advises you to remove the gland. It's small. It can't be that bad. A doctor told Desiree Green she needed to have her thyroid removed. After surgery, instead of instant healing, Green watched her health deteriorate even more rapidly. She slipped into depression, experienced debilitating chronic fatigue and anxiety, and had terrible concentration and awful mood swings. It's Not About the Diet is Green's journey of healing and outline for her healthcoaching strategy. In it, she also reveals a secret she learned along the way about why dieting doesn't work. If you're tired - of taking pills - of listening to doctors who don't help - of not getting better There is hope You can get at the root cause and find alternative ways of healing.
