In this episode, I interview Annabel Bateman about her new book Let’s Talk Thyroid: Positive & Practical Thyroid Help. We discuss her journey, her struggles with hypothyroidism, and the medical model of addressing hypothyroidism.

It was her struggles and frustrations that led her to write Let’s Talk Thyroid: Positive & Practical Thyroid Help to help others who find out they have hypothyroidism have a roadmap to get started reclaiming their health and improving their thyroid physiology.

In this episode we discuss:

• Setting goals and expectations for yourself and your health
• Why your immune system isn't attacking you, it is protecting you
• Why it is beneficial to "Kiss and make up with your thyroid"
• Two key factors that every newly diagnosed person needs to understand
• What people can do to improve their health and thyroid physiology
• and so much more...

Annabel Bateman is a Hashimoto’s patient, author, advocate & coach. She has learned in 25+ years of living with Hashimoto's that the key is developing a lifestyle that supports (and doesn't stress) her thyroid health. 

Drawing on skills learned in previous careers as a lawyer, life coach, family law mediator, and author, Annabel seeks to empower, educate and encourage women with thyroid conditions to develop their own thyroid-friendly lifestyle approach to their health so they can thrive and not just survive. 

She hosts a successful podcast, Let’s Talk Thyroid which seeks to spread thyroid awareness and information and is active on social media to spread positive & practical thyroid related information.

Annabel's latest book, Let’s Talk Thyroid: Positive & Practical Thyroid Help, is all about how to live a thyroid-friendly lifestyle. Whilst there is no magic “happy thyroid” formula or protocol, you’ve got to start somewhere. This book is that somewhere. 

Annabel lives in Brisbane, Australia with her husband and 3 teenage sons.

* The book, Let’s Talk Thyroid was initially published under the name: Kiss & Make Up With Your Thyroid. New name, same book.
