Book Review: One of the most helpful health books I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought this book, I struggled a little bit with it and felt it was all very confusing and overwhelming (probably because I was FF&F). Then, because I really have been grappling with hormone issues - thyroid, pre-menopausal symptoms, etc, I found an MD/integrative practitioner who did much more comprehensive testing than either my internist or ob/gyn had ever done, much less discussed. With my test results in hand, and a small armload of recommended supplements, I tackled the book again. I think that having a more specific idea of my needs based on my actual testing, made it easier to focus and really appreciate the book. And it was really, truly educational, and just spot on! I found that everything in the book was completely backed up by what my new doc told me, but at the same time, gave me much more detail and helpful information to supplement the doctor's advice. The book also helped me to think about and prepare questions for her between visits.
Just by reading the book alone, I'm not sure I would have felt confident in self-diagnosing and tackling all the recommendations. In part, because there is a lot of overlap of symptoms. Also, I think it's probably fairly common to have more than one gland affected. So without a doctor and thorough testing, it would be easy to be overwhelmed by everything in this book. To their credit, the book's authors do recommend that you get a doctor's help. Another thing I found particularly helpful is that they make recommendations in stages - so that you can begin immediately implementing dietary changes, for example, before moving on to another level of treatment, like supplements. Although I joked about it a little, the supplements that were recommended to me produced an almost immediate and profound change in my energy, mood, and sense of well-being. All of which made it that much easier to follow the dietary and exercise recommendations. I've been losing weight steadily for two months, and haven't felt this good in years. Do find yourself a good doctor who can work with you on these issues, and definitely read this book - you won't regret it.

Summary of Feeling Fat, Fuzzy or Frazzled? : A 3-Step Program to: Beat Hormone Havoc, Restore Thyroid, Adrenal, and Reproductive Balance, and Feel Better Fast!
An expert physician/ nurse team offers a practical, hands-on program to restore thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive balance-and feel better fast.You're exhausted, and you've gained weight; you feel mentally fuzzy much of the time, and don't feel that you handle day-to-day stress as well as you once did. Worried, you visit the doctor, who orders the typical battery of tests. Two weeks later, you're assured that everything's fine.
Sound familiar? If you're one of the 33 million Americans suffering from hormone-related metabolic problems, the answer is a resounding yes. Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? is the first book to expose and address the delicate, life-altering balance among the thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. This multi-gland approach-missing from other hormone-related books-can make the day-to-day difference between feeling awful and feeling good. If left untreated long-term, this imbalance can cause heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, infertility, and severe menopause.
Practical and hands-on, this book offers readers: an innovative, integrated self-care program to identify their thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive-related metabolic disorder (through easy, inexpensive, noninvasive diagnostic tests and questionnaires); a "5-day jumpstart program" to help alleviate symptoms of weight gain, low energy, or frayed nerves fast (through vitamins, minerals, and nutrition); and a long-term plan to achieve optimal health, complete with advice for finding and partnering with the right doctor.
