This week, we focus on addressing the obstacles and challenges you may be encountering, including potential thyroid problems, as you continue following the UltraSmart Weight Loss program.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Share them in the UltraSmart Weight Loss forum.
P.S. In the Experience Life articles section, we've included "Food Trap!" and "Role Reversals" because they offer effective strategies for
navigating tricky food situations. The suggested quick fixes, however, don't
necessarily align with the UltraMetabolism recommendations.
P.S.S. This is a great time to retake the Toxicity Assessment — you may be surprised by how much your symptoms have changed in less than two weeks.

Suggested by Dr. Hyman while we were at Omega, this New York Times Magazine article addresses how the health of the nation's food system is a critical issue of national security. Michael Pollan, the bestselling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and
In Defense of Food, writes the article as a letter to our next commander in chief, explaining why reform of our food system needs to be a top priority for his administration — because without it, they will not be able to make significant progress on any of the major issues they're addressing on the campaign trail, including healthcare, energy and climate change.
