HOUSTON, TX, Feb 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Thyroid specialist Ridha Arem, M.D. is offering Oprah Winfrey and the rest of
America's women a plan for optimal thyroid health. Dr. Arem, at the Texas
Thyroid
Institute in Houston and author of "The Thyroid Solution - A Revolutionary
Mind-Body Program for Regaining your Emotional and Physical Health," is featured
in
the article, "Oprah's Thyroid Cure!" in the March 3, 2008 edition of "Woman's
World" magazine.
Experts estimate that as many 27 million Americans have thyroid gland
disorders
and half of the cases go undiagnosed. The thyroid is the master gland of
metabolism and regulates many body systems. Since Oprah went public with the
struggles related to her thyroid imbalance, more women and physicians than
ever are looking into thyroid imbalance as a potential cause of their symptoms.
Dr. Arem says symptoms can include fatigue, increased hunger and cravings,
depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, difficulty staying warm,
elevatedblood pressure, dry skin, hair loss, heavy menstrual cycles, fertility
problems,
severe PMS and weight gain.
"These symptoms historically have been blamed on stress or aging, but
Oprah's
personal story has rapidly advanced understanding of thyroid imbalance among
women," said Dr. Arem. "Fortunately, we have developed sophisticated thyroid
hormone treatments for underactive thyroid, which can cure persistent
symptoms."
Advanced cases may require prescription of thyroid replacement hormone,
butmillions could benefit from Dr. Arem's four-part strategy. This includes
adopting
a healthy thyroid diet, consuming the right thyroid vitamins and antioxidants
(available at www.thyrolife.com), exercising at least three times each week for
30 to 60 minutes and setting aside at least 15 minutes each day to set
everything
aside, sit quietly and listen to soothing music. You can learn more about the
thyroid and Dr. Arem's innovative program at www.thyroidwellness.com.
The "Woman's World" article, which is available at grocery store checkouts
nationwide, includes a thyroid diet plan and specifics about recommended
supplements.
Woman's Day has a circulation of more than 1.5 million.
Dr. Arem's book, "The Thyroid Solution," was recently updated and revised to
reflect recent changes in the Mind-Body Program, incorporating the latest
innovative approaches for thyroid treatment. It is available online and in
bookstores.
