Life Redefined: The Elephant in the Room | Dear Thyroid™
dearthyroid.org — “Have you ever noticed that depression is not an illness that’s easily discussed? People who aren’t depressed don’t talk about it. People who ARE depressed don’t talk about it enough. Why? I think because it’s equated to weakness. There’s this stigma surrounding depression that suggests that to say you are depressed is to say you are weak. Nothing could be further from the truth.” View full resource at dearthyroid.org

Who You Callin' Yeasty?! | Dear Thyroid"

This is a misconception: turns out the problem is broader and deeper -- typically your vaginal symptoms are spillover from yeast in your gut.” View full resource at dearthyroid.org
