“The Essential Thyroid Cookbook: Over 100 Nourishing Recipes for Thriving with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s” by Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Coach, Jill Grunewald, hit five Amazon best seller lists on its publication date of September 19, 2017. The print book garnered the #1 spot on the Hot New Release list in Whole Foods Diet. It also became top 10 bestseller in Whole Foods, Thyroid Conditions, and Immune Systems. The Kindle version climbed to #2 in Endocrine System and #9 in Healthy Diet.
The book is co-authored by Lisa Markley, MS, RDN, a dietitian and culinary nutrition expert with diverse experience in integrative nutrition, health education, clinical counseling, clinical research, and community wellness.
Grunewald and Markley have created a groundbreaking cookbook for those with Hashimoto’s (autoimmune hypothyroidism). This long-awaited volume is a book within a cookbook—it contains a rigorously researched, scientifically supported educational component and over 100 mouthwatering, “food as medicine” recipes geared toward the home cook. Together, the elements of this definitive guide leave no doubt in the reader’s mind that the unfussy, artfully crafted recipes are uniquely thyroid- and immune-supportive.
The renowned Susan Blum, MD states, “[The Essential Thyroid Cookbook] is one of the most amazing food education and recipe books I’ve ever seen.”
Hashimoto’s is the most common autoimmune disease and thyroid problems are among the most prevalent yet overlooked conditions that compromise women’s well being. Additionally, men are being diagnosed in increasing numbers. Grunewald’s mission is to help those with Hashimoto’s reclaim their health.
In response to the book’s resounding success on launch day as well as wide acceptance by not only Hashimoto’s patients, but also leaders in the integrative and functional wellness community, Grunewald shared, “The inspiration for this cookbook stemmed from the many successful stories from my clients who’ve experienced the life-changing power of thyroid- and immune-supportive nutrition that helped to alleviate their Hashimoto’s symptoms. Given that it took a few years to bring this cookbook to fruition, and with the help of many of my respected colleagues, there was quite a ‘waiting list’ for it and I’m deeply honored and humbled that this labor of love is a best seller in so many categories. But it’s never been about ‘the numbers’—it’s about the lives that can change as a result of this first-of-its-kind cookbook. I’m overjoyed that it’s now out there, ‘in the wild,’ and in people’s kitchens.”
