"With so much attention to menopause and the accompanying symptoms as a normal
transition for women, thyroid disorders often go undiagnosed and untreated. Mary Shomon once again uses her extensive up-to-date knowledge of the latest research
and her first hand experience to come up with a timely and empowering book for women during this life stage."

"Stress, pollution, nutrition, and other factors have so depleted our hormones -- especially the thyroid -- that good health and hormonal balance is often impossible for women unless we're paying careful attention to the thyroid. I recommend Mary Shomon's "Menopause Thyroid Solution," because her book explains how the thyroid plays a role during perimenopause and menopause, and will help women not only recognize their thyroid symptoms, but get the diagnosis and proper treatment..."

The Menopause Thyroid Solution Bundle,
From MyMedLab and
Mary Shomon
Through a relationship with MyMedLab, you can now order your own thyroid, hormonal and other blood tests. There is no need for a doctor's visit or appointment in order to get your testing done. Testing is provided by LabCorp, a nationwide network of medical testing laboratories. LabCorp is the same laboratory used by many physicians and hospitals across the U.S. to draw and/or process their patients' tests.
 Through MyMedLab, you can get these tests at 50% to 80% less than if you paid direct. If you don't have insurance, or your HMO or insurance refuse to cover certain tests, MyMedLab is the most affordable way to get needed medical tests. And even if you do have insurance -- after the doctor's office markups on test costs, and with co-pays and deductibles, ordering direct from MyMedLab can still save you money.
When you order your blood tests through MyMedLab:
- You are getting the same tests that, up until now, were only available to doctors
- You can have your sample collection done at over 2000 convenient locations nationwide, and no appointment is necessary
- Your results are completely confidential, and never become part of your medical record unless you provide them to your insurer
- You have access to MyMedLab's free Personal Health Record (PHR), to keep records of all your test results, and track and monitor changes in health over time.
(Note: patient-ordered testing is not available to residents of NY, NJ or RI)
I've worked with MyMedLab to put together a special Menopause Thyroid Solution Bundle,
 The Menopause Thyroid Solution Bundle
The Menopause Thyroid Solution Bundle is a groundbreaking new, 21st century health solution, and the first in MyMedLab's Personalized Medicine Series.
Your package includes:
- A copy of Mary Shomon's new book: The Menopause Thyroid Solution: Overcome Menopause By Solving Your Hidden Thyroid Problems
- A complete Menopause Thyroid Solution FDA-approved blood test panel designed by Mary Shomon, which you can have drawn at your local LabCorp laboratory blood draw facility. Results can be delivered electronically, saved online and tracked over time in your MyMedLab Personal Health Record. The panel includes:
- Thyroid (TSH)
- Free T4 (FT4)
- Free T3 (FT3)
- Estradiol (E2)
- Progesterone
- DHEA Sulfate
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Pregnenolone
- Testosterone, Free
- Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy
- A 30-minute personal phone coaching followup session with Mary Shomon, to brainstorm your thyroid, menopause and hormone questions, and help you map out a plan to feel and live well.
If you ordered these blood tests through your local doctor, you'd likely pay between $1200-$2000. And these tests, if purchased individually from MyMedLab, would cost $885.00. But with this special new package, you are getting the new book (retail value $15.99), your key tests for thyroid and menopause information, and a personal 30 minute followup coaching session with thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon (valued at $50) -- all for less than what it typically costs for one 10-minute specialists visit!
About the Menopause Thyroid Solution
There are 40 million American women, born from 1949 through 1964, who fit the category of (and who identify themselves as) "Baby Boomers." What many of these women don't know is that the common drop in reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone that occurs after age 40 can frequently trigger a thyroid slowdown -- a "thyropause" so to speak -- that can be the main cause for troublesome symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and low sex drive. In fact, by the age of 60, it's estimated that as many as half of all women have a thyroid condition.
The Menopause Thyroid Solution explains the profound influence the thyroid has on your hormonal health during the perimenopause and menopause years. You'll find out how undiagnosed thyroid problems may be the real culprit behind symptoms that you've assumed are are peri/menopausal. You'll learn how to recognize the common -- and not so common -- symptoms of a thyroid problem, versus the symptoms of menopause, and you'll learn how to get thyroid and hormonal imbalance problems properly diagnosed and treated.
Whether you're a thyroid patient entering perimenopause, or a woman in your 40s and 50s wanting to feel your best, The Menopause Thyroid Solution will help you explore how to balance thyroid/reproductive/sex hormones and adrenal hormones, work with doctors to resolve your symptoms, how to eat, what medications and supplements to consider, and mind-body-approaches that can help balance hormones.
About Mary Shomon
Mary Shomon is the nation's leading thyroid patient advocate. After her own thyroid diagnosis, Mary transformed her struggle with thyroid disease into an two-decade long advocacy and educational campaign on behalf of her fellow patients with chronic diseases such as thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic fatigue, among others. Since early 1997, Mary has served as founder and Guide for the award-winning About.com Thyroid website -- part of the New York Times Company -- as editor of the popular patient thyroid news report, Sticking Out Our Necks, and has written a number of best-selling books, including The Thyroid Diet, Living Well With Hypothyroidism, Living Well With Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism and others.
About Your Coaching Session
After you've read The Menopause Thyroid Solution and had your bloodwork done, your services include a 30-minute telephone Menopause Thyroid Coaching Consultation with Mary Shomon. In your one-on-one session, Mary will brainstorm your thyroid, menopause and hormone questions, and help you map out a plan to feel and live well. And because you will often be looking for a smart, knowledgeable doctor who can -- based on your bloodwork and symptoms -- work with you to medically treat your hormonal imbalances, Mary can recommend some of the best practitioners in your area who understand thyroid, hormone and menopause diagnosis, management, and treatment. You'll have all the information you need to quickly start living and feeling well!
Note: Remember, Mary's not a doctor, so your Coaching Session is provided for educational purposes, to help you formulate questions, find practitioners, and be an empowered, knowledgeable patient.
