Hey lovely, You know when something just doesn’t sit right? You’re dragging yourself through the day, completely wiped out...You’ve gained weight, your brain’s in a fog, you can’t warm up, and your energy’s on the floor…But your doctor says everything’s “fine.” But deep down, you know it’s not. And you’re right. WATCH - Still Exhausted with Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s? This Could Be the Missing Piece In Your Recovery I’ve just been working with a client recently who’s been treated for...

Hey beautiful, I've been thinking a lot about something lately, and I just had to share it with you because I know it's going to resonate deeply. 😔 You know that feeling when you're sitting in a meeting, and someone suggests something you completely disagree with, but instead of speaking up, you just... nod along? 😔 Or when your partner asks what you want for dinner for the third time this week, and you say "whatever you want" even though you're craving something specific? If you're nodding...

Hi beautiful. I had an experience this week that I just had to share with you. I took my daughter (she's 21) to the doctor's appointment I'd spent nearly 3 weeks trying to book. On the drive there, I asked her if she was prepared. Did she have a plan? A list of symptoms? Anything written down? Her response? "No." 🤦 Despite me asking her for the past week to prepare (and being the typical 21-year-old who doesn't want to listen to her mum), she was just rocking up half-asleep with absolutely no...

Hey beautiful, I had to share something that happened in our Facebook group this week because honestly, it's got me fired up – and I know you'll relate. A new member joined us, and her story is one I've heard a thousand times before. She KNOWS something's wrong. She's got every classic hypothyroid symptom in the book – the crushing fatigue, brain fog, hair falling out (including those telltale outer eyebrows), weight that won't budge no matter what she does. The whole package. But here's the...

Hey there, I've been thinking a lot about us - women in our 40s and 50s juggling what feels like the weight of the entire world on our shoulders. And how that might connect to why so many of us end up with a Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism diagnosis around this time. Have you ever noticed that? How the majority of thyroid diagnoses happen to women in their 40s to 60s, with the peak hitting in our fifties? I don't think that's random, and here's why. Research has shown a strong connection...

Hey there, I need to share something with you today that really hit home for me. I just read about a mum of 2 who credits ChatGPT with saving her life by helping detect thyroid cancer that her doctors completely dismissed and missed. You can read her full story here. Her story could have been mine. And it might be yours too if you're not listening to that inner voice. This woman was having all kinds of symptoms - trouble bending her fingers, stomach pain, and she lost 14 pounds in just a...

Hey there, I wanted to talk about something I see ALL the time in my community... You're taking your Levothyroxine faithfully. Your doctor says your TSH is "perfectly normal." Yet you still feel absolutely terrible. Sound familiar? Let me tell you why this is happening - and more importantly, what you can do about it. The Problem with Levothyroxine Monotherapy Here's the truth I've come to after years of working with thyroid patients (and being one myself): T4 monotherapy just doesn't work....

The Power of Finding Your Thyroid Tribe Hey there, I wanted to share something deeply personal with you today. When I was really, really ill with hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer, I found myself in a truly dark place. Both mentally and physically, I was struggling in ways that felt impossible to describe. I remember asking my MacMillan nurse about support groups. There were groups for all kinds of conditions—cancer support circles, chronic illness meetups—but when I asked about one...

If I could sit beside you right now... Dear friend, Maybe you’ve just walked out of the doctor’s office.Still reeling.Still trying to make sense of what you’ve been told. Maybe the words “hypothyroidism” or “Hashimoto’s” are echoing in your head...And with them, a quiet but heavy sentence: “This is your new normal.” Let me stop you right there. Because I need you to know something, and I need you to hear it in your bones: You do not have to accept feeling like this.You do not have to accept...

Hi Beautiful. Why an Indian Takeaway Might Be the Perfect Hypothyroid-Friendly Meal I had the most delicious dinner out with my husband last night—our favourite Indian restaurant, all warm lighting and comforting smells. And as I sat there, tucking into my lamb chole malabar, I couldn’t help thinking… We’ve been sold such a narrow definition of “healthy,” haven’t we? The Myth: Takeaways Are Always Unhealthy So many women I work with feel guilt around ordering in or going out to eat....
