Welcome
Introduction
Hello Thyroid Family,
I have been on the Armour Thyroid medication for 5 or 6 weeks now and feeling good. Make sure to check out my Instagram for more regular updates. I'm aiming to get a detailed blog update out in perhaps a few months or so but want to give this medication plenty of time so that I have lots to cover.
The online course for thyroid patients that Nadha Hassen and I have been developing since last year, has now opened for preorders, so I have given some more detail on that below. We're really excited about this new format of thyroid information and activities that we know will help many more of you!
I've been having more thyroid blood tests recently and my levels are good. This is a reminder to check when YOU last has yours done and perhaps get booked in for an update. Levels can fluctuate with the changing temperatures outside.

Raman Spectroscopy Poised To Make Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis Less Invasive
Researchers have demonstrated that an optical technique known as 'Raman spectroscopy' can be used to differentiate between benign and cancerous thyroid cells. It could be a potential tool to improve the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, which is the ninth most common cancer with more than 50,000 new cases diagnosed in the United States each year.
Online Thyroid Course
I have partnered up with Nadha from Thyroid Transitions to create an online course for others living with a thyroid condition. It's called Freedom From Thyroid Fatigue.
Combining thyroid information to help you understand your thyroid fatigue and what you can do to banish it, with mindfulness and wellbeing techniques, the course ‘Freedom From Thyroid Fatigue’ was created!
Designed to minimise overwhelm and help you to take practical, manageable steps to get on top of your thyroid health, we created Thoughtful Thyroid as the umbrella for this first course, we hope the first of many, to sit under.
Modules of Freedom From Thyroid Fatigue include:
- Essential Thyroid Basics
- Breaking the Sick Identity
- Eating Well and Getting Nourished
- Exercising with Thyroid Issues
And the course is suitable for all thyroid conditions.
We will be launching the course soon but pre-orders are already open on our website with 30% off.
Ready to say ‘goodbye’ to Thyroid Fatigue? Let us share with you how we’ve done just that ourselves!
Overactive Thyroid Mimicked Symptoms of Baby Blues
Life should have been wonderful after the birth of her son but instead, her out-of-control thyroid hormones took a major toll. This is why I feel thyroid screening should become the norm during and straight after pregnancy.

Why Is Selenium a Recommended Supplement to Take?
Selenium is a trace mineral found in food and soil, which is vital for immune response and thyroid function, including conversion of thyroid hormone T4 to T3, making it essential for good metabolic function.
