Nominated for the 2023 Social Health Awards

I am honoured to say that I have been nominated for the Social Health Awards again this year!

I have received nominations for six different awards, which are:

  • Advocacy Trailblazer
  • Community Cultivator
  • Lifetime Achievement
  • Revolutionary Researcher
  • Social Media Master
  • Healthcare Collaborator

These awards recognise patient leaders who are making an impact with their advocacy work, especially in the online community. It provides the opportunity for their readers to thank and support the health advocates they follow and find helpful!

As many of you know already, it is my passion to create more awareness, as well as widen the diagnosis and treatment options for thyroid issues. 

Keeping authenticity and raw honesty behind my work, I am always open about my own thyroid journey and this is what makes The Invisible Hypothyroidism so unique. I work tirelessly but never get tired of doing what I do.

It’s not always easy to be honest about what we experience with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. It can get ugly and embarrassing at times (constipation, hair loss and crying in doctor’s offices, I’m looking at you!) but it’s so worth it for impact it has on others.

Thank you for the ongoing support and allowing me to support you on your thyroid journeys too. It’s great to get thyroid disease in the spotlight!

You can show your support by voting for me in these awards here!
