Far too simplistic for such an important and complex subject
Having been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis, I was really interested to read this book. There is some useful information in it, which is why I gave it two stars rather than one. However, everything about Myers is tabloid. Like her book the Thyroid Connection, this book treats the reader as a small child/idiot who needs to be told what to do without being given any proper understanding of why. This simplistic style may suit some people, but I wanted something with more information and scientific backing. I tried her 30 day plan, as well as bought the supplements to go with it, and felt no different at the end. As with the book, it is all too simplistic. If you believe that you need to heal possibly years of inflammation to treat autoimmune disease, 30 days is not really going to cut it. Nor are a few antimicrobial pills and health supplements. I would strongly recommend instead Dr Michael Ruscio’s excellent book and protocol (Healthy Gut, Healthy You). It is far more thorough and scientifically based than the Myers Way quick fix. His podcasts are also genuinely informative, unlike Amy Myers’s YouTube videos, which are basically sales pitches designed to sell her Myers product line. I would also recommend Izabella Wentz’s books which go into much greater detail than Myers on autoimmune healing supplements and diet.

Brilliant solution!
Amy Myers is just brilliant. I've been wanting to get this book for sooo long, and I finally got it. have been reading it for a few weeks and love it. I'd recommend this to people who are just starting to learn about Hashimoto's or other Autoimmune diseases. I have a few books on this subject, but this has become my favourite :) Thanks Dr Myers!

Difficult to get the essential information quickly
Lots of information and details but not easy to just cut to the important facts of changes to make, things to do and things to avoid. Personally,I know a lot about my various,complex , autoimmune disorders and just was hoping for help to feel better but think I’ll have to read the whole book to glean the changes I need to make, I was just fired up to start being proactive to improve my health if I can, but it’ll have to take a wee while to sift through all the pages. She seems knowledgeable and the language is user friendly,so that’s a bonus, thanks

An invaluable book for anyone living with an autoimmune condition
I loved this book and having an autoimmune disease I found that following this plan has changed my life in a revolutionary manner. For the first time in years I am virtually pain free and can't remember the last time I felt this well. For me it has been life changing.

Great book Dr. Myers!
I really enjoyed Dr. Myers book. She does a great job re-framing the whole auto-immune spectrum of conditions to be part of the same problem, rather than a list of separate medical conditions. The strategies for managing auto-immunity are very creative and she has outlined a clear and simple plan of action. Well worth a read! If you have an auto-immune condition, you need to read Dr. Myers book.
