Welcome! I created the Invisible Hypothyroidism, a multi-award winning thyroid patient advocacy blog and website, as a means for me to record my personal journey of living with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.
I represent and help other thyroid patients by advocating for better thyroid disease diagnosis, treatment and awareness.
With over 200,000 website views every month, I share a key message:
Be Your Own Thyroid Advocate

My Philosophy
I believe in each patient getting the right treatment for them, as there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to hypothyroidism. This is why I advocate with the aim of encouraging each thyroid patient to embrace advocating for their own health.
In my own experience, living well and thriving with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s has been like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. There have been many pieces and each thyroid patient can have a unique combination of pieces. So my work – articles, books, email newsletters, podcast and radio appearances – all bring together the various jigsaw puzzle pieces for other thyroid patients to use in their own journey.
And of those diagnosed, a lot are not optimally treated and still struggle daily…
