Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness: The Riddle of Illness Revealed

Very happy I found this book. I lifetime of questions not previously answered by “the experts” finally answered. The book explains the deficiencies in physicians’ educations and the profit motive for keeping us all in the dark. So the bad news revealed by this book is how broken health care is in the US. The good news is the book explains that my problems are fixable.

Thank you, Dr. Hotze for another extremely insightful endeavor into educating us with insights we can't seem to find from mainstream doctors! If you are looking for an extremely well written, informative yet easy to understand book on why you could be feeling like you might have lived your last good day (i.e. HYPOTHRYOIDISM) you've just found it. I was one of those who thought the brick wall I hit was one that I wasn't going to survive and from the insights of my gynecologist, "We are at the age that we just aren't supposed to feel better", I was 'almost' convinced! But, 'something' told me I didn't have to buy it. So, I started doing research that led me to the Hotze Health and Wellness Center. Dr. Hotze's first book 'Hormones, Health and Happiness' was eye opening as I began to walk my path to regaining myself. This book will help anyone beginning that same walk for themselves! BUY IT, READ IT and empower yourself to think for yourself and believe in yourself! It is so powerful that you, too, can feel like getting out in the middle of I-10 and scream "You don't have to live like this!" Dr. Hotze, Dr. Ellsworth and the wonderful staff have enabled my husband and I to begin feeling incredible and living completely! This book, I believe, should be read by everyone! Dr. Hotze respects mankind and understands how intricately God designed us, both male and female! And, that we, too, are capable of understanding it! ORDER BOTH BOOKS!!!

I love this book and the author. I have been to many doctors to help me with my migraines and not a one could help me!! After reading Dr. Hotze's book I made an appointment to see him and he gave me my life back!! I have not had a debilitating migraine headache now since my first visit to his office and I would get them a minimum of 3 times a WEEK! I would suggest every woman read this book as it holds a wealth of information to help you along the path to wellness and feeling your best. If you can manage the trip and expense to Houston Texas, he is well worth the price to get your health and life back! He also has a newer book available called "Hormones, Health, and Happiness" that I would highly recommend reading as well. These two book will enlighten you about how women are treated by the medical profession. Believe me, I suffered for many years with debilitating migraines and fatigue and none of the doctors I saw helped. This book gave me hope and Dr. Hotze backed it up 200%. Get your life back! Take control of your health. Read what most doctors will not tell you because they don't spend the time with you to diagnose you properly. I have recommended this book to all my friends and family member. READ IT!

After stumbling across an ad for this book in the Southwest magazine while traveling on two back to back occasions I finally ordered Dr. Hotze's book because the ad intrigued me - maybe, just maybe this had some additional insight into my symptoms. I have sought natural healthcare as much as possible to traditional medicine over the last 10 years, yet 6 years after my hysterectomy this was the first time I've explored hypothyroidism and the need for bio-identical hormones as a solution. Even some of the natural healthcare providers I have sought over the years have never explained things as thoroughly as Dr. Hotze did in this book. Knowledge is absolutely critical to navigating hormonal health! Thank you Dr. Hotze for your testimony of how you ended up on this journey, thank you for sharing your in depth knowledge with the rest of the world with your Wellness Revolution, thank you for the success stories of so many that you and your team have been able to help. Because of this book and the in depth information I have joined the Wellness Revolution by finding a local healthcare provider that shares similar philosophies as Dr. Hotze. As a result I am able to share the hope Dr. Hotze has given me to others - the hope of true hormonal health which includes this incredibly complex Thyroid!

I learn something new with every book I read on hypothyroidism. Dr. Hotze's book definitely added to my knowledge. I originally checked this book out at the library and found it to be so informative that I purchased a copy to keep at home as a reference; I also bought a copy for my doctor. Dr. Hotze explains just why your blood tests my be completely wrong. Do you want to have thyroid hormones at the levels of a healthy young person or at a normal level for an old person whose thyroid no longer works optimally? Dr. Hotze will tell you why your doctor will consider an under active thyroid to be normal as opposed to what should be optimal. Read this book if you have hypothyroidism!

I am not finished with this book but am very much liking what Dr. Hotze has to say about a natural appoach to optimal health. He also gives many insights to the shortcomings of our traditional madical/ pharma options for health care and information.

This book is amazing! If you red the blurb and thing "hmm maybe that's me" it is well worth a read. I've had these symptoms for 4 years now since the birth of my daughter (despite going caffeine-free, gluten-free, healthy eating, taking exercise, getting 8hrs sleep a night etc) I finally feel like I've read something that makes perfect sense, and I'm sure others could benefit from the information too. I just wish all GP's had to read it as part of their training.

I found Root cause by Izabella Wentz better.

Dr. Hotze gives you lots of information on what the various causes of hypothyroidism and why doctors may not be able to diagnose you properly (too broad a range to be considered normal even if you're on the low end). The let down of the book is really HOW to deal with the problem. Basically they put you in a three step plan where they eliminate current yeast bacteria, put you on a diet the lowers the sugar and simple carbohydrates and then something else. If you don't buy his wellness cookbook program, you're left trying to figure out how to do the diet and then trying to convince the doctor to give you medication to kill the yeast. Really it seems to come down to what you feed your body has major impacts on how your body performs. Feed it nutritionally rich food and the output will be a happy, energised body.
