My second book, the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Hashimoto’s Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back was a labor of love for me over three years and is a culmination of my personal guinea-pigging, my work with Hashimoto’s patients, the latest innovations, as well as broad spectrum protocols that can help a person with Hashimoto’s get on the way back to health in as little as two weeks!

You see, I know that you don’t have time to be sick. There are dreams and goals you’d like to accomplish if you could just shed the fatigue, extra weight, and brain fog. I know, because I’ve been there. None of my doctors thought I would get better and I sat on my couch each day after work, too tired to do anything other than zone out in front of my television.

1000 Dreams

At first, my friends and family members thought I was crazy for trying unconventional things. But I persisted, used my background as a pharmacist to break down the triggers of my condition, and I recovered. And once I recovered my health, I decided that I would help others do the same. As soon as I was free from headaches, joint pains, fatigue, bloating, mood swings, and weight struggles, I was able to step into the life that I was meant to live.

Hashimoto’s Protocol is published by Harper One, a division of the HarperCollins, one of the world’s leading publishing houses that has been publishing important books for the last 200 years. With the help of the team at Harper One, the Hashimoto’s Protocol has been distilled to be the most helpful, approachable, and actionable guide so that you can start taking back your health today.

The book is divided into two parts: The Fundamental Protocols and the Advanced Protocols. The Fundamental Protocols are the place to start and tell you exactly what to do to feel better. I’ve piloted the program in the book with over 1000 people, and 80% feel significantly better, most in as little as 2 weeks. I’ve received miracle story and after miracle story of headaches, chemical sensitivities, join paints, fatigue, weight gain, and depression shedding away from the bodies of my clients, and I’m so excited to share these strategies and protocols with you! People who had been sick for years and had worked with numerous practitioners found that these protocols still made a tremendous difference in how they felt!

The Advanced Protocols help you zero in on your individual root causes and needs through a series of assessments, from infections to toxins to SNPs to traumatic events. I include testing guides and actionable protocols for the numerous root causes I’ve identified in Hashimoto’s patients over the last eight years.

I add in specific protocols for each root cause like this one for Candida/Yeast:

Yeast Protocol

If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, the fastest way to get the book is by going to your local bookstore or by ordering through Amazon.

I hope that this book helps you recover your health once and for all! I can’t wait to see what you will do and how your world will open up once you shed all of your symptoms and recover your health and your life!

Warmly,

Dr. Izabella Wentz

Lifestyle changes can result in improved thyroid function and/or an increased absorption of thyroid hormone medications, leading to a lower required dose and possible symptoms of hyperthyroidism at a dose that was previously stable. Please discuss lifestyle changes with your physician and ensure that your thyroid function is monitored every 6-8 weeks while making lifestyle changes. Symptoms of overmedication include, but are not limited to: rapid or irregular heartbeat, nervousness, irritability or mood swings, muscle weakness or tremors, diarrhea, menstrual irregularities, hair loss, weight loss, insomnia, chest pain, and excessive sweating.

  1. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a month ago, although I’ve been on thyroid medication several years now, and received your book yesterday. I have read through the liver support protocol so far. Very informative book that has put some of my concerns at ease! I was feeling lost and overwhelmed. I never realized how many of the Hashimoto’s symptoms I really have. I want to do the liver detox (after a trip to the grocery store of course), but I was wondering if there are any side effects to the liver detox? My doctor told me to go gluten free and I have for almost two weeks now, but have had side effects like fatigue, moodiness, carb/sugar craving, headache. I’m partaking in a wedding next weekend and the weekend after is Easter; both events I have no control of the food offered. Should I wait to do the liver detox until after that, or just start right away and adhere to it as best I can?
    Thank you for writing an informative book that is educational and made me feel not as alone with this diagnosis! ?

  2. I just bought your book about root causes and will probably continue on with this one after I’ve finished. I’m under diagnosis for hyperthyroidism, will these protocols work for conditions like Graves aswell? Otherwise, who might I look into?
    You’re an amazing person and your calling is the purest there is – helping others. I hope I will one day be able to do the same. But first my own recovery is on the menu. All the best!

      Graves and Hashimoto's are both autoimmune conditions that affect the thyroid. They are thought to be closely related. Sometimes one turns into the other. The difference is the site of the antibody attack. In Hashimoto's, the antibodies are found to thyroglobulin (in 80%) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme (in 95% of people)-Hashimoto's results in hypothyroidism and is usually treated with Synthroid and replacement hormone.

      The same antibodies may be present in a smaller percentage of people who have Graves, but the main antibody is to the TSH Receptor (TSHR-Ab). Usually, people with Graves have hyperthyroidism, and they are treated conventionally with thyroid suppressing drugs (methimazole) or radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid. At that point, the thyroid will no longer produce hormones on its own, and these people end up on Synthroid as well.

      Most thyroid conditions result from the immune system attacking the thyroid because the immune system is out of balance. Even when the thyroid is taken out surgically or treated with radioactive iodine the autoimmunity still persists in most cases. Many people will have their thyroids removed, and will develop new autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The immune system just finds a different target.

      We need to rebalance the immune system to prevent this (sometimes the autoimmunity can be reversed as well! The gut determines your immune system. With the exception of discussing proper thyroid medication dosing, the majority of my website and my book focuses on balancing the immune system. The info I present is based on my own research and journey for overcoming my autoimmune thyroid condition.

  3. Hi, really excited about the new book. I am a Graves disease patient, will the book have some information for me too? I know some info overlaps but before I purchased the book just thought I would ask.

    Thank you

  5. Dear Dr Izabella Wentz,
    I’ve bought your Hashimoto’s Root Cause eBook for my Kindle Paperwhite on March 25th. I’ve managed to convert it (MOBI and AZW formats) so that I can read it on my Kindle. Unfortunately it is very difficult to read in both formats, there is no table or image. Would it be possible to obtain a format compatible with the Kindle Paperwhite? Many thanks for your reply and for everything you do for us!

  6. I’m reading the book and am ready to begin the first phase for liver detox. Under liver support supplements I have been able to find all of them except for “liver support powder containing amino acids, nutrients, and herbs”. I looked on the Rootcology and Designs for health Palio cleanse and found nothing. I’ve also looked on Amazon, etc. is this actually a supplement that I can purchase all in one or do I have to find them seperately? If so, where can I find them or it? Thanks!

  7. I feel like my body has been fighting hypothyroidism (maybe Hashimotos since autoimmune diseases run in my family) for years. I bought your book Hashimotos Protocol. I got to page 45 where those with Hashimotos describe what it feels like. Tears came to my eyes because I saw myself in nearly every one of them. I want to thank them for sharing.

  8. I have your wonderful book, Hashimoto’s Protocol and read about a Workbook of the Root Cause Reflection that is available for download; however, I have been unable to find it on the website. Also unable to find any Fundamental clinicians here in Florida. Although I have not been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (years ago was thought to be hypertyroid, but no tests were ever done), have RA, Osteoarthritis, Pseudo Gout and Fibro; also suffer vertigo, etc. The more I read your book, the more I feel I’m reading about me! Thank you for your research, sharing your journey and your offer of help to those who don’t know where to go.

  9. Hi,
    I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2014. They took the left side out because of a nodule. About a week ago, I checked into the er because I was tachycardic 155+ and all over the place, sweat water-falling down my face, tremors, chest pain and much more. They said stop taking levothyroxine. So I did. Then I got into an endocrinologist and she put me on half the dose. She said something about Hashitoxicosis? Have you dealt with this before? I haven’t recovered, I am exhaused and go through manic episodes and then sleep for days. I cant take it.
    Thanks Crystal
    I just ordered the book. Hoping it helps.

  10. Just bought your book and can’t wait to start your protocol but struggling with the supplements as based in Perth, Western Australia. Is there any specific Australia based products you can recommend instead? Metagenics? Bioceuticals? Etc. Any help would be appreciated as would like to start asap. Thank you

  11. Hi – I’ve been following the Hashimoto’s Protocol and am currently in the Adrenal Protocol stage. I can’t seem to find how to reintroduce foods that I’ve eliminated after I get to the end of everything. Do you cover that anywhere?
