Women with hypothyroidism often feel like the disease is hijacking their life, sabotaging their efforts to lose weight, keep it off and preventing them from living an energy-filled life. Many women with hypothyroidism have been told that “Your thyroid test came back in the normal range!” or “The dose of thyroid hormone you are on is perfect!” yet they still feel hypothyroid symptoms. Or maybe they’ve been told, “Your weight gain is not due to your thyroid. Maybe you’re eating too much and not getting enough exercise!” It sounds all too familiar, and it’s a vicious cycle! After Anna Austin was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at such a young age, Susan Tucker did everything she could for her daughter to get to the root cause of the symptoms Anna was experiencing, even after starting medication. Thriving with Hypothyroidism is about empowering women to take an active role in their health in stopping the progression of thyroid disease and not settling living with symptoms for the rest of their lives. Susan and Anna help people understand that there’s more to preventing hypothyroidism than just taking medication. Rather, women can improve symptoms and thyroid function through a more natural, whole-body approach. Thriving with Hypothyroidism comes from 20 years of research, personal experience, and education in getting to the root causes of Susan and Anna’s own hypothyroidism. Susan and Anna share how to stop the progression of thyroid disease, lose weight and keep it off, and have a more energetic life!

From the day his high school principal told him he wasn't college material and ought to go to trade school, Charles Kelman has upset conventional wisdom - with stunning success.

Today, thanks to his persistence and smarts, thousands of people can see again. The "Rocky" of medicine, Dr. Kelman recounts his early struggles to achieve a breakthrough in surgical procedure-a battle Dr. Kelman had to wage in the face of intense skepticism from his colleagues. Through My Eyes tells the stories of the many famous people whose sight Dr. Kelman ultimately managed to save, including actress Hedy Lamarr, Senator Bob Packwood, jazz musician Lionel Hampton, singer Jan Peerce, and hundreds of others.

And when he's not performing cataract surgery, he's performing at Carnegie Hall in New York, Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the Atlantis in Atlantic City, or on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. He has appeared on the stage with such performers as Glen Campbell, the Spinners, and Lionel Hampton. Through My Eyes shows how single-minded persistence and determination pay off.

Through the Shadowlands: A Science Writer's Odyssey into an Illness Science Doesn't Understand
by Julie RehmeyerJulie Rehmeyer felt like she was going to the desert to die.Julie fully expected to be breathing at the end of the trip—but driving into Death Valley felt like giving up, surrendering. She’d spent years battling a mysterious illness so extreme that she often couldn’t turn over in her bed. The top specialists in the world were powerless to help, and research on her disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, was at a near standstill. Having exhausted the plausible ideas, Julie turned to an implausible one. Going against both her instincts and her training as a science journalist and mathematician, she followed the advice of strangers she’d met on the Internet. Their theory—that mold in her home and possessions was making her sick—struck her as wacky pseudoscience. But they had recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome as severe as hers.To test the theory that toxic mold was making her sick, Julie drove into the desert alone, leaving behind everything she owned. She wasn’t even certain she was well enough to take care of herself once she was there. She felt stripped not only of the life she’d known, but any future she could imagine.With only her scientific savvy, investigative journalism skills, and dog, Frances, to rely on, Julie carved out her own path to wellness—and uncovered how shocking scientific neglect and misconduct had forced her and millions of others to go it alone. In stunning prose, she describes how her illness transformed her understanding of science, medicine, and spirituality. Through the Shadowlands brings scientific authority to a misunderstood disease and spins an incredible and compelling story of tenacity, resourcefulness, acceptance, and love.
