10 Things You Can Do to Improve Your Thyroid - Online Workshop With Mary Shomon Starts October 16, 2013
Kensington, MD (PRWEB) October 09, 2013 -- Nationally-known patient advocate Mary Shomon has been doing a workshop for several years at the New York Open Center - one of the top holistic learning centers in the country. The workshop is titled "10 Things You Can Do to Improve Your Thyroid." Thyroid patients across the U.S. and around the world have said they wish they could travel to New York for this seminar, or that the seminar could be scheduled in their cities.
Mary Shomon has now announced that an online teleseminar version of the six-hour workshop will be taking place over three Wednesdays — October 16, 23, and 30th — from 9-11 pm Eastern Daylight Time (6-8 pm Pacific.)
Special guests include:
- Holtorf Medical Center and National Academy of Hypothyroidism founder and hormonal health expert Kent Holtorf, MD
- NYC integrative physician David Borenstein, MD (who has been a special guest at many of Mary Shomon's in-person workshops in New York)
- Bay area integrative physician, hormone expert and author of numerous thyroid books, Richard Shames, MD
- Mind-body health expert and creator of the "Thyroid Meditation," Demo DiMartile
- "Hypothyroid Mom" blogger and patient advocate Dana Trentini
Some of the many questions that will be answered during the workshop include:
- What thyroid tests are needed, and how can patients understand and act on the results?
- What is "optimal" thyroid treatment, and how can patients get it from their physicians?
- What should thyroid patients avoid eating and drinking when taking thyroid medication?
- What dietary changes could put a thyroid condition into remission?
- How can people who are hypothyroid lose weight?
- How can thyroid patients lower thyroid antibodies and reduce inflammation?
- What is the role of the adrenals, and how does being "tired and wired" affect the thyroid?
- Why is stress such a factor in thyroid conditions, and what can patients do about it?
- What kinds of doctors can help, and how can patients find them?
- How can thyroid patients cope with thyroid-related hair loss?
Says Shomon: "This workshop answers so many questions, and thyroid patients walk away armed with practical approaches they can start implementing right away to help feel and live their very best. One participant has said that she even calls it 'Thyroid School!'"
All that's needed is access to a phone, and the ability to call into a U.S. phone number, so patients outside the U.S. can participate. There will also be the ability to log-on via computer and view an online presentation, but a computer is not essential. Critical handouts and reference materials will be provided in an informational package in PDF format.
Participants who can't make the live calls or who want to listen again will be able to access recordings of the three sessions.
The workshop is filled with information, ideas, practical advice, and recommendations that will help thyroid patients get their thyroid treatment on track.
