Microbiome Thyroid: Restore Your Gut and Heal Your Hidden Thyroid Disease (Microbiome Medicine Library) Paperback – December 21, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
If you are one of the 20 million Americans living with thyroid disease or one of the thousands living undiagnosed, Dr. Raphael Kellman understands your suffering. Between inaccurate diagnosis, a wide spectrum of symptoms, and doctors who may not be familiar with the intricacies of thyroid dysfunction, it’s hard to get the treatment you need. While general hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are the most commonly known thyroid issues, there is an underdiagnosed and yet incredibly prevalent condition: Non-thyroidal Illness Syndrome (NTIS). It can cause unexplained fatigue, memory issues, problems with focus and decision making, and even dementia, and affects as many as 20% of Hashimoto’s sufferers.
Luckily, Dr. Kellman has a clinically proven, expert protocol that has given thousands of patients a path to health—and now he’s delivering it to you. You’ll discover:
- How your thyroid function affects your overall health—and how its dysfunction can explain your troubling symptoms
- The 4P Protocol for healing the microbiome
- How everyday household products, cosmetics, plastics, and medicines can disrupt your hormonal systems—and how to detox
- A 30-Day Thyroid Rescue program, including meal plans and lifestyle changes
Microbiome Thyroid helps you take control of your environment, your diet, and your life, guiding you toward the right diagnosis, the right treatment, and overall hormone balance.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseGood for fixing your gut health
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2022Format: PaperbackThis was an excellent book. I currently have Hashimoto's and am not happy with the treatment being provided by the traditional medical system. I followed an autoimmune diet for a while which helped to a point but did not clear up all my symptoms. I had to have a surgery to remove screws from a previously broken ankle. While recovering from surgery I had to depend on what my husband was making for me. I know my diet deteriorated and I was eating too many carbs and sugars.. i needed this book to give me a fresh look on what i should be doing. i will ask my doctor for some of the recommended tests.
My only regret is i wish i would already have the paper copy of this book. i will purchase this book when it is available.
