"Why do I STILL have thyroid symptoms?"

Has your doctor told you that you don't have a problem and yet, you know you do?  Does your endocrinologist have to keep changing or increasing your thyroid medications?  Have your thyroid medications begun not to work as well as they used to?  You've got good company.

Here's how it starts...

You gradually put on weight over the last few years. You feel sad or depressed, more often than you should. You start feeling cold, even if other people are comfortable, although you may have the occasional "hot flash" and your heart races for a few minutes and then calms down. Your blood pressure or cholesterol gradually rise. Eventually, you may undergo treatment for low B12, low iron, gluten problems, food allergies, anxiety (maybe even panic attacks), depression, and digestive problems. Your energy drags in the morning and you rely on stimulants like caffeine. After you've had this for a while, you may start losing your hair in distinct patches, or develop increasing joint pain, psoriasis, or Diabetes Type 1 (the kind that requires insulin).

Eventually, a health practitioner checks your thyroid function. They tell you your thyroid tests are "normal". Actually, the word "tests" is a misnomer, because all they order is one single test. The interesting part is, that single test does not specifically check the thyroid gland function itself! So in reality, they're not checking your thyroid gland at all.  TSH can vary widely, so testing it once doesn't always reveal a problem.  Not only that, but the "normal range" your results are compared to is so wide that many autoimmune thyroid problems get missed.

You may have tried taking supplements with iodine, and that doesn't help. In fact, you're not sure, but you think it may even make you feel worse. You may end up seeing an endocrinologist, who will prescribe thyroid hormones. Relief at last! They may work--for a while. Your doctor may have to keep increasing your medication or changing the dose. Meanwhile, you become more and more frustrated. Why? Because you've got an entirely different problem going on inside you - UNDIAGNOSED.

Did you know that 90% of women taking thyroid medications STILL have thyroid symptoms, even though they've been told their lab tests are "normal"? The problem may not even be the thyroid itself, so standard medical treatment will NOT work for 9 out of every 10 people suffering from thyroid issues!

Hypothyroid (low thyroid) symptoms - do you see yourself in this list?
* Fatigue
* Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
* Blurry vision
* Coarse, dry hair
* Hair loss or thinning hair
* Cold intolerance (you get cold easily)
* Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
* Constipation
* Depression
* Irritability
* Memory loss
* Decreased libido

If more than one or two of these are true for you, this can indicate low thyroid function.

Hyperthyroid (excessive) symptoms - how about this list?
* Excessive sweating, especially at night
* Heat intolerance
* Increased bowel movements
* Tremor (usually fine shaking)
* Nervousness; agitation
* Anxiety, panic attacks
* Rapid, strong heart rate or heart palpitations
* Weight loss
* Fatigue
* Decreased concentration
* Irregular and scant menstrual flow

If more than one or two of these fit you, this can indicate excessive thyroid function.

If you have symptoms in BOTH lists, you may have Hashimoto's Disease.

You're not alone. About 7 or 8 out of every 100 people have symptoms of low thyroid function. That's over 20 million people - almost as common as diabetes!

For 9 out of every 10 of those people, the problem is more complicated than just having a low thyroid. This works out to 18 million people.

There are about 7 different types of thyroid dysfunction, and only ONE of them is solved by prescribed thyroid hormones. (Hint: it's not the 90%)

This means that the remedy given to everyone with thyroid issues is only the answer for a tiny few.

Most medical doctors do not have or know of any other course of treatment, so they will not find and address the real cause.

Our Personal Program is an excellent place to start.

Dr Lara Sweeney has been personally trained by one of the leading cutting-edge thyroid experts in the US, Dr. Datis Kharrazian, and she uses his full lab testing and nutritional support protocols to FINALLY help you find answers and get a handle on the raging fire inside you.

Working with Dr. Sweeney, you'll learn:
* Why thyroid hormones are often ineffective in treating hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's
* What the real culprit of most cases of hypothyroidism is and how to address it
* Why your thyroid problem won't show up on your lab tests
* Why you continue to feel worse despite treatment
* Why the thyroid gland is often the wrong target
* Why eating this common food will prevent you from getting better
* How a popular natural ingredient found in EVERY natural thyroid supplement will only make things worse
* How to successfully manage this complicated condition without the use of drugs, radiation, or surgery.

Together, we can get down to the bottom of the REAL nature of your thyroid symptoms and address the real culprit without medication!
