This is the book that I personally read to reduce my autoimmune thyroid antibodies down and eliminate my symptoms. Of the books, I find this one is easy enough to read, but still full of some technical information that I found useful.

This is a great book for people who are newly diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction and are looking for a place to get started. Do beware of all the supplement recommendations! It is ALWAYS advised to start with diet and lifestyle first before considering supplements.
