Jenny and Louise had a great day yesterday at Cytoplan's seminar at the Penny Brohn centre on stress.

And then afterwards a yummy lunch with the one and only Jules! Also known as the Thyroid Expert, author of 'Thyroid in a Nutshell' and the founder of our wonderful Thyroid Collective!

As International Thyroid Awareness Week 2025 comes to an end, we wanted to give a more personalised perspective on this year's theme of Early Detection and Treatment using AI.

Most of our team started their thyroid journey long before artificial intelligence became mainstream. With the use of wearables and mobile phone apps, AI has now become a useful tool used within the team to support them with managing thyroid conditions.

However, many of us feel our personal thyroid journeys would have benefitted from earlier detection and treatment. One of the team, for example, has evidence of thyroid issues back in 2000, but a doctor didn't take her concerns and symptoms seriously until 2013. It then took another 2 years to receive an official diagnosis, only through sheer determination and advocating for herself through private testing and treatment options.

Such stories are echoed through many within the thyroid community. Our team is here to support people with thyroid conditions, raise awareness, and advocate for those whose voices struggle to be heard above the issues limiting optimal management of thyroid conditions in this country and beyond.

To mark International Thyroid Awareness Week and continue to raise awareness of thyroid related conditions, we wanted to share this documentary “Bye Bye Butterfly” by Canadian thyroid patient, filmmaker, and Thyroid Patients Canada board member, Kristine Thelle about her experience and search for better treatment.

Today is World Thyroid Day 2025 and every year on May 25th World Thyroid Day marks the beginning of International Thyroid Awareness Week.

This year's theme is Early Detection and Treatment using AI.

The emphasis is on early detection and timely treatment of thyroid conditions. This focus is particularly important as millions worldwide remain unaware they have a thyroid disorder.

By encouraging regular check-ups and recognising early signs, this year’s theme helps you take control of your health before complications arise. It’s a reassuring message: with better awareness and access to care, you can avoid delays in diagnosis and live a fuller, healthier life with the right support.

Today is World Thyroid Day 2024 and every year on May 25th World Thyroid Day marks the beginning of International Thyroid Awareness Week.

This year's theme for World Thyroid Day is 'Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)'.

This focus underscores that thyroid issues are among the most prevalent endocrine disorders worldwide, ranking second only to diabetes. The theme aims to raise awareness about thyroid conditions and supports the early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease.
