June 18, 2014 — Izabella Wentz

with Kelly Brogan, MD

Tired? Sad? Dry skin? More and more people are wondering what’s going on with our thyroid?

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis sounds… exotic. And something that happens to other people. But it’s not. It affects up to 5% of adults in Western countries. It’s seven times more common in women than in men and often emerges in middle age.

Join Kelly for a fascinating interview with Izabella Wentz, PharmD. She is the co-author of the new book Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause. In addition to hearing about Izabella’s journey and how she went about taking charge of her own health, we also want to know:

• Do lots of people have this disease, unbeknownst to them? Could I have Hashimoto’s?
• How is it diagnosed and what does it feel like?
• Is it also related to acid reflux, food allergies, leaky gut, anemia, and adrenal insufficiency?
• Why is the thyroid gland so vulnerable?
• What’s the difference between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s?
• Can it be reversed? What lifestyle changes can we make to feel better and get our lives back?

Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP is a passionate pharmacist dedicated to empowering patients with knowledge to improve their health. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in 2009, Izabella was surprised at the lack of conventional medical knowledge about lifestyle interventions for Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune conditions. She decided to take on lifestyle interventions as a personal mission in an effort to help herself and others with Hashimoto’s.
