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. |

Hi Reader, I have to share something that happened this Sunday that totally shifted my perspective (and might change yours too) 🌟 You know those moments when your heart just sinks? That was me when "Italian" was suggested for our weekly Sunday dinner family get together. If you're anything like me, your mind probably immediately goes to all the "off-limits" foods – pasta, bread, and more pasta! Italian isn't known as being the most gluten free of cuisines. Right? As someone with...
Hi Reader, Ever found yourself juggling your morning coffee craving with your levothyroxine timing? Trust me, I've been there! Today I want to share something that's been a total game-changer for my thyroid routine - and it all started with those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips! You know how we're supposed to take our levothyroxine at least an hour more before eating or drinking anything? Well, I discovered something that works brilliantly for me. When I get up for one of those inevitable...
Hi Reader, Can we talk about those moments when you realize something HAS to change? I want to share a deeply personal story with you – one that literally transformed my health journey. It's about the day I did something I never thought I'd do after 32 years of being a committed vegetarian... Picture this: I was at rock bottom with my health. I'd had 10 years of undiagnosed Hypothyroidism leading to Thyroid cancer. Even after my thyroid was removed and I was on 100% thyroid medication, things...
