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:
Some of these costs are financialReduced working hours, lost income, extra prescriptions. But others? They’re the ones you feel in your bones:
That’s the interest on health debt.And the truth is - you will pay it one way or another. The only question is what kind of debt you’re willing to take on. I learned this the hard way.Years ago, I was on a long NHS waiting list for an ADHD assessment. Every month, the wait time got longer. I was burning out, dropping the ball at work, and on the brink of losing everything. So I made the uncomfortable choice: I went private. I put it on a credit card. It wasn’t an easy decision - I didn’t “have the money.” But that one choice has saved me far more than it cost - in income, in health, in sanity. That one decision turned my life around.I wouldn't be here writing this email if I hadn't made it!. But it makes me so sad when I see SO many women put themselves at the very bottom of their own priority list. Spending on everyone else first. Hoping their health “will just sort itself out.” But it won’t. And the longer you wait, the more expensive - in every sense - it becomes.So if you’ve been holding back from investing in the support you need… Ask yourself: What debt am I already paying - and what’s it really going to cost me?

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...
Hi Reader, Hey lovely, There’s something I need to say - and it might be one of the hardest truths I’ve ever shared. One day, people are going to look back at how hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s were treated in our time… right now... …and they’ll be horrified. In the same way that we are horrified by the way mental health patients used to be treated in Victorian asylums They’ll ask: “How did they let so many women live half a life - tired, foggy, gaining weight, emotionally drained - and just…...
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...
