Hi Reader, I need to have an honest conversation with you today, straight from my heart to yours. Something I've been seeing in our Facebook community has been weighing heavily on my mind, and as someone who truly cares about your wellbeing (and your wallet!), I can't stay quiet about it. Here's the thing - I completely understand the frustration of going to your doctor, being handed a Levothyroxine prescription, and still not feeling like yourself. Trust me, I get it. When we're not getting the answers we need from conventional medicine, it's natural to look elsewhere. And that's exactly what many marketers are counting on. I've been watching with growing concern as more and more "thyroid miracle products" pop up on TikTok and social media. You know the ones - those expensive supplements with fancy thyroid-themed names that make big promises. But here's what they're not telling you: Many of these products are simply basic cheap vitamins and minerals repackaged at premium prices. Sometimes, they even contain ingredients like kelp (high in iodine) that could actually be problematic for some of us with Hashimoto's. Just recently, I saw someone in our group asking about an expensive grounding mat being marketed for thyroid health. Another member bravely shared that she had bought one and saw zero improvement. It breaks my heart seeing our community's hope being exploited like this. Here's what I want you to know:
Before you reach for your credit card, please:
Remember, you deserve real, evidence-based solutions for your thyroid health. Not expensive gimmicks that drain your bank account while leaving your symptoms unchanged. I share this not to discourage you, but because I care deeply about every single person in our community. Your health journey is challenging enough without falling prey to marketing schemes that profit from your desire to feel better. Keep asking questions. Keep seeking answers. But please, protect yourself (and your wallet) by approaching "miracle" thyroid products with healthy skepticism. Here for you always P.S. If you're ever unsure about a product you're considering, feel free to ask in our free Facebook community here. We're all in this together, and sharing our experiences helps everyone make more informed decisions. PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT a Doctor or Medical Professional of any kind. |

Hello Reader, You might’ve seen the news - the UK government’s launching a new obesity project in Scotland. They’re funding weight loss injections for thousands of people, mostly in the poorest areas. Now, before I go any further, let me say this: I’m not against weight loss injections. For some, they can be absolutely life-changing. ❤️ But here’s what’s being completely missed. If proper thyroid testing were funded first, so many of those people wouldn’t even need weight-loss treatment at...
Hello Reader, I want to talk about a kind of tiredness that words don’t really cover. The kind that seeps into your bones. The kind that makes even walking up the stairs feel like climbing a mountain. When my hypothyroidism first really kicked off after having my children, that’s what it was like. Looking back, I think it started much earlier, maybe after glandular fever in my teens, but pregnancy was what tipped it over the edge. I remember standing halfway up the stairs, two little kids in...
Hi Reader, I’m taking part in a traffic challenge this month – but this isn’t about numbers for me. It’s about bringing this space to as many women as possible who need it. My community, The Hypothyroid Recovery Hub, is for women with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s who are tired of feeling stuck, unheard, and unsure what to do next – and who are ready to take their energy and confidence back. My vision is simple: a safe, supportive space where women can finally get clear answers, rebuild trust...
