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.

Hi Reader, There’s something we really need to talk about. Mental health. Specifically, how your mood, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing are often deeply affected when you have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s - but no one warns you. Doctors might mention weight gain. Tiredness. Brain fog. But what they don’t say is that low thyroid hormones can lead to serious depression. Crushing anxiety. Rage that feels like it comes out of nowhere. Emotional numbness. And yes - even suicidal thoughts in...
Hi Reader, We talk a lot about money debt. Credit cards. Loans. Mortgage payments. But there’s another kind of debt most women with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s carry without realising it. Health debt. It creeps up slowly. The kind of slow that feels “manageable” day-to-day - until it isn’t. When your thyroid isn’t treated optimally (and let’s be honest… most of us aren’t), you’re quietly racking up costs: Fibromyalgia. Chronic fatigue. Cardiovascular problems. Unstoppable creeping weight...
Hi Reader, This week, I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole. I stumbled across an old medical article - an absolute gem from the archives - with 57 before-and-after photos of patients treated for hypothyroidism back in the early 1900s. Here’s the link so you can see for yourself: 🔗 Thyroid magic history and 57 examples The “before” pictures are heartbreaking—faces swollen, eyes lifeless, bodies clearly suffering. But the “after” pictures? They look like completely different people. The swelling...
