Finally people are remembering that food is what makes your body right or wrong! I was offered anti depressants and anti histamines when I was really suffering from hypo thyroid, adrenal exhaustion and a totally whacked our hormone balance (ALL estrogen all the time!). It took an MD/ND/Endocrinologist to properly diagnose me, prescribe Armour Thyroid (which I am now gradually reducing in dose because my thyroid is recovering), help me deal with the adrenal exhaustion (six months in bed- yuck!- but it worked along with magnesium baths and supplements) and prescribing bio-identical progesterone to re-balance my hormones. BUT! But she also carefully examined my diet, made just a couple of tweaks (I eat mostly "paleo" in style) and said I was a lot healthier because of my diet than I otherwise would have been. Without this diet I'd be diabetic by now, clinically depressed, probably still hypo thyroid (I tested as "low normal"), suffering from chronic fatigue and with no light at the end of that tunnel.
