Dear Bob Liebert,

I have hypothyroidism and I am taking synthroid, the doctors say the dose I am on is ok for me but I really don't ever feel good, I am always fatigued, with extremely cold hands and feet, my sexual drive is barely any and my husband says it's not a factor but I wish I could improve that, is there anything you recommend?

Dear Friend,

Before suggesting herbs that directly effect the thyroid (and have to be somewhat monitored when using with synthroid), I would give a try to the MACA extract; it is a hormonal balancer that is especially useful for women with hypothyroid, aids in energy and boosts sexual drive.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
