Mary Shomon's Facebook Profile

"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."
~ Dr. Marie Savard, ABC Medical Contributor and Author of Ask Dr. Marie

"The epidemic of menopause and thyroid-related issues is having major health consequences. Now, visionary advocate Mary Shomon has shed light on the menopause/thyroid connection to provide welcome relief for the millions of women who thought they were doing everything right."
~ Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., best-selling author of 30 books on health and including including The Fat Flush Plan

"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..."
~ Uzzi Reiss, MD, Ob-Gyn, Author of The Natural Superwoman, and Natural Hormone Balance for Women

"Mary Shomon is amazing! By combining science and common sense, she has helped millions of women failed by our health care system to reclaim their health. Buy this book, and prepare to feel great!"
~ Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic

"The Menopause Thyroid Solution is a must for any female who wants to fight fatigue, increase energy, maintain mental clarity, boost metabolic function and improve hormone balance."
~ Teresa Tapp, Exercise Physiologist, T-Tapp Founder, and Author of Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes

"Once again, Mary Shomon is superb: crucial topics...accurate information...user friendly...an amazingly good book!"
~ Richard Shames, MD, Author of Thyroid Power

"Once again, Mary Shomon has stepped up to the plate to make what can be a very confusing topic totally understandable. In her extremely clear writing style, Mary has beautifully explained how one can differentiate true menopause symptoms from those due to thyroid deficiency..."
~ Donna Hurlock, MD, Certified Menopause Clinician

"Mary Shomon unravels the numerous underlying causes which connect symptoms of low thyroid function and menopause."
~ Viana Muller, PhD, South American medicinal plant expert, founder of Whole World Botanicals

"As a psychologist who works with women suffering the symptoms often associated to menopause, I am very excited to explore ways of uncovering an undiagnosed thyroid problem...Hormone replacement therapy for women in menopause is big business...so big that the billions of dollars sold often eclipse looking for hidden thyroid problems...Mary Shomon has hit another thyroid home-run!"
~ Steven Gurgevich, PhD, Director of Mind-Body Clinic, University of Arizona College of Medicine, best-selling author of Self-Hypnosis Diet

"I highly recommend Mary Shomon's "The Menopause Thyroid Solution. It is a must read for all those interested in women's thyroid and menopause issues."
~ David Brownstein, MD, Author of Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It and Overcoming Thyroid Disorders

"Mary Shomon has become one of the few experts I always feel confident about referring women to when it comes to menopause, thyroid problems and many other women's health issues. She's so thorough and her books are written in a down to earth, 'we're in this together' language..."
~ Dee Adams, Founder/Creator, "MinniePauz" website and cartoons
