Advocating for your Thyroid Health Across all your Relationships

Rachel Hill, The invisible hypothyroidism

How do you help those around you understand what you’re going through with your thyroid health? Do you need to? How does it differ from work to spouse to kids to family & friends?

Rachel Hill, AKA The Invisible Hypothyroidism joins me on this episode to talk about how we advocate for our thyroid health across many different relationships.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Rachel’s personal thyroid journey of having developed Hashimoto’s as a teenager, suffering a wide range of physical and mental symptoms
  • The start of The Invisible Hypothyroidism as a blog about 10 years ago
  • Thyroid health is like a puzzle
  • How to talk with your work colleagues/employer
  • How to talk with your spouse
  • How to talk to your kids
  • How to talk about the diet & lifestyle aspect esp when other’s don’t really get it (or even want to get it)
  • Personal responsibility and boundaries
  • Finding a supportive community
  • Resources you can use to share your journey with others in ways THEY can digest.

It’s most important that you do what you need to do for your thyroid health. You don’t need others to validate what you feel or need to do.
