About this audiobook

Dr. Izabella Wentz, the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, returns with a long-awaited, groundbreaking prescription to reverse the symptoms of this serious autoimmune condition that is becoming one of the country’s fastest growing diseases.

More than thirty-five million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto’s—an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells. To alleviate the symptoms of this debilitating condition—including chronic cough, acid reflux, IBS, allergies, chronic pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness—patients are often prescribed synthetic hormones that have numerous life-altering side effects.

But there is a better way.

Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at twenty-seven, pharmacist Dr. Izabella Wentz knows first-hand the effects of the disease, as well as the value—and limitations—of medication. The key to improved health, she argues, involves lifestyle interventions. In Hashimoto’s Protocol, she outlines a proven treatment that has helped thousands heal and many others feel better—in as fast as ninety days.

Drawing on her own personal experience as well as her work consulting with thousands of patients, Hashimoto’s Protocol offers a practical pathway for healing and reversing the autoimmune damage at the root of the disease. The first step is a quick-start two-week detox that includes foods to eat and inflammatory foods to avoid, advice on supplements to support the liver, and an adrenal recovery plan. Next, readers create a personalized plan with foods, supplements, and other lifestyle interventions tailored to their body’s own unique Hashimoto’s triggers, which they can identify using self-tests included in the book. Hashimoto’s Protocol also features original recipes.

Grounded in the latest science, Hashimoto’s Protocol is the first book to offer a proven protocol by an acknowledged expert in the field to treat this condition without dangerous hormones—and help sufferers reclaim their lives.

Izabella Wentz

Dr. Izabella Wentz is one of the pioneering experts in lifestyle interventions for treating Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in 2009. Trained as a pharmacist, Dr. Wentz was surprised at the lack of knowledge about lifestyle interventions for Hashimoto’s and autoimmune conditions, so decided to take on lifestyle interventions as a personal mission in an effort to help herself and others with the same condition. She self-published her first book, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Finding and Treating the Root Cause in 2013. She has since launched a thriving online community of more than 200K “Root Cause Rebels,” empowering those diagnosed with Hashimoto’s or thinking that they may have Hashimoto’s to take charge of their health and find solutions that work for them. Her popular programs include one-on-one health consultations, a widely-read email newsletter, a Hashimoto’s Institute geared towards physicians and other practitioners, a 12-week self care program, and many more. Izabella Wentz currently lives near Boulder, CO with her husband Michael and their dog Boomer.

    Great information and very in depth but I find the approach too radical. I also talked to my doctor and he said that this is not a proper way to conduct an elimination diet.

    JFC if I didn’t think I was dying, I definitely would after reading this. It had a lot of good information but too much to actually deal with. Any symptom you can think of is likely covered in here which is overwhelming. The amount spent on supplements alone seems extreme, and it’s all way too much work to figure out. I might come back to it sometime after I look up WTF a biological dentist is.

    I suppose what one person would call thorough another person would call long winded. I am in group two. I never thought this book would end. I understand that she wanted to cover every possible illness under the sun with a variety of things to try, buy and test, but it was over the top for me.

    I have not been officially diagnosed, but I obtained the book because I have had massive hair loss for 11 years now and nothing has helped, it could be from menopause, female pattern baldness or even the Depakote I took for years.

    One thing that was especially off-putting was not only the huge amount of money one has to be prepared to lay out, whether they can afford it or not in tests, supplements and prescriptions, was that the supplements she recommended most often were her own and an extremely expensive brand called Encapsulations.

    I am no stranger to supplements, homeopathic, Ayurvedic, minerals, vitamins, etc but tend to use quality companies like Country life, NOW, Twinlab, which are more affordable.

    Maybe this book will help tons of people, to me it was just too much.
