The National Academy of Hypothyroidism kindly read and reviewed my first book Be Your Own Thyroid Advocate: When You’re Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired, ahead of its release this week.
Some snippets include:
- The depth of information and manner in which it is presented makes Be Your Own Thyroid Advocate: When You’re Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired an effective introduction and guide to thyroid disease as well as an uplifting and motivational tool.
- Hill’s genuine and forthright tone makes comprehension of the complex and potentially confusing topic of thyroid function, treatment, and research, easy to understand without diluting its value.
- Those looking to gain a better understanding of thyroid disease and the many elements that accompany it will find that Be Your Own Thyroid Advocate: When You’re Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired is an excellent place to start.
- After reading Hill’s book, thyroid patients will realize that even though it may seem that their disease isolates them, they are truly never alone.

I thought I’d respond to the line “Readers may be surprised by the strong criticism of typical or traditional medical practices,” just to say clarify that I have always said (and do say in the book) that some thyroid patients do absolutely fine on standard treatment within mainstream and conventional medicine, but I just want to let those who don’t (like myself) know that there are other options out there that could help them. I still see a regular GP on the NHS who is supportive of my current thyroid treatment and management, so I don’t reject traditional medical practises, I’m just providing a different light and showing alternatives.
Furthermore, in regards to “much of Hill’s experiences with doctors, as described in the book, paints them in a negative light,” again, I thought I’d just clarify that this isn’t because I dislike doctors (in fact, I love my current doctors as I’ve gotten a lot better under their care), but just that unfortunately, in my experience (which is largely what the book is about) I have had negative experiences. Hope this helps provide more background to the book!
