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 want to talk about something I hear far too often from women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s: “I’m over 50 now, so this is just my lot. It’s all downhill from here.” And you know what makes this worse? Doctors reinforce it. 😠 You go in feeling exhausted, gaining weight, or struggling to concentrate - and you’re told: “Oh, that’s menopause.”“Oh, it’s just your age.” As if that’s the end of the story. But it isn’t. The truth is: blaming age for thyroid symptoms is one of the...
Hi Reader, 💜 Today inside our community, the Hypothyroid Recovery Hub, we’re on Day 2 of the 7-Day Sleep Better Challenge - and we’re talking about something simple but powerful: sleeping like a cavewoman. Everything we do in this community comes back to living more like our ancestors – following an ancestral lifestyle that works with your body, not against it. 10,000 years ago, our ancestors slept in almost total darkness. Maybe just a flicker of firelight or a soft glow from the moon. That...
Hi Reader, Have you ever been told your thyroid labs are “normal”… yet you still feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck with stubborn weight? This is one of the biggest myths out there. 👉 Normal does not mean optimal. Doctors usually look at a wide lab range. If your number falls anywhere inside it, they say you’re “fine.” But most women with thyroid problems do not feel fine there. 😔 In fact, many of us still feel tired, cold, foggy, and heavy - even when our labs look “normal.” Why? 👉 Because...
