Additionally, for those who are local, the book is available for purchase in Dr. Hedberg's office.

This book provides the most comprehensive explanation of the reasons why your thyroid is out of balance and what to do about it.

Or perhaps it’s not your thyroid at all!

Don’t be one of the 28 million Americans who suffers from a thyroid problem.

“I have seen many books on thyroid dysfunction over the years.  Virtually all of them suggested a comprehensive examination of the problem based on the totality of published research.  In reality, though, I found these books to be extremely limited in focus.  In contrast, Dr. Hedberg has written a book that I feel truly features a comprehensive overview of the best published research on the nature of thyroid disorders and what to do about them.  This book is a must read for anyone who wants to have a thorough, research-based understanding of the realities of thyroid dysfunction.”

A Sneak Peek at the Book

Forward for Dr. Hedberg's Book

Dr. Nikolas Hedberg, a gifted functional medicine physician and respected colleague, has done a masterful job at explaining the extremely complex subject of endocrinology from a functional perspective in this book. Thyroid disorders are occurring at epidemic proportions in the Western world, particularly the U.S., and there are many reasons for this. Dr. Hedberg tackles many of these difficult issues, including the role of stress, lifestyle, diet, toxins, and autoimmunity in thyroid disease.  If you are suffering from a thyroid problem this book is a must read. It will allow you to understand all the complex factors that may be playing a role in your condition, and it will prepare you to serve as a knowledgeable self-advocate with your physicians, who often do not recognize, nor appreciate, all of these associated factors. It will allow you to exhaust all possible options in addressing your condition, while improving your overall health in the process, before resorting to hormone replacement therapy. If hormone replacement therapy is required you will understand all of your options, and not just the ones generally presented to you by standard primary care physicians and endocrinologists who do not practice from a functional medicine perspective.

"This is an important and long overdue book on natural healing approaches to treating thyroid conditions.  As Dr. Hedberg pointedly explains, thyroid conditions are related to a variety of body functions and rarely exist on their own in isolation.  A true whole body approach is therefore required to thoroughly treat this complex condition.  This book is a must read for patients everywhere suffering from fatigue, weight gain, and depression who are looking for solutions that really work."

-Daniel Kalish, D.C. author of "Your Guide to Healthy Hormones"

"Thyroid dysfunction is very complex and the average conventional physician normally does little to help find the cause of the disease.  Dr. Hedberg provides not just the patient but the physician with the knowledge that he/she must have to effect a cure.  I would recommend any physician who treats thyroid dysfunction to return to the basics of endocrinology and use this book as a guide to effectively correct the problem – not just treat the symptoms".

About The Author

Dr Nik HedbergNikolas R. Hedberg, D.C., D.A.B.C.I. treats sick patients who have not found answers to their health problems.  He is a Board Certified Internist by the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (only 200 chiropractors have achieved this designation).  His Bachelor's degree is in Exercise Science from the University of Florida and his Doctor of Chiropractic is from Texas Chiropractic College.  Dr. Hedberg believes that most diseases have an underlying cause that must be identified in order for a patient to truly heal.

Dr. Nik, as he is affectionately called by his patients, knew early in life that he wanted to be a doctor and help people.  He was fascinated with the human body and its remarkable ability to heal. Convinced that true healing was and is possible if an individual is given the correct tools, he has brought his lifelong dream to fruition and has treated hundreds of patients with success. 

Dr. Hedberg uses a variety of state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to determine the actual cause of a patient's health problem.  He sees many individuals with thyroid disorders, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, hormone imbalances and autoimmune diseases.   

He is an adjunct faculty member at Hawthorn University and loves to educate patients and students about health.  He has made numerous television and radio appearances and has been published in newspapers and medical journals.  He also lectures throughout the United States educating doctors on alternative medicine therapies for complex conditions.

He serves as a member of the North Carolina Integrative Medical Society, The American Chiropractic Association's Council on Diagnosis & Internal Disorders, and the American Board of Chiropractic Internists.  He also consults with conventional and alternative medicine physicians on complex cases.

In his spare time, Dr. Nik enjoys opera singing, skiing, meditation, yoga and hiking.
