International Thyroid Awareness Week Webinar
Thursday 28th May 2026
This year, we are celebrating International Thyroid Awareness Week with a webinar that is about nutrition along with some news updates.
We are so pleased to let you know that our first speaker is Aggie McCabe, registered Nutritional Therapist who specialises in Thyroid Disorders and writer for our member magazine, Harmony. She is going to speak about the important connection between our gut and thyroid.
Our second speaker is Caroline Webb, The Thyroid Nutritionist and Certified Thyroid Practitioner. Caroline also writes articles for us and she is going to talk to us about iodine and whether or not it’s a good idea to supplement with it.
We are very happy that Julia Priestly has agreed to give us some information about the British Thyroid Foundation project with the James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership (JLAPSP). This project will allow all people with a thyroid condition to be involved in letting the JLAPSP know which questions you would like answered by research.
You may or may not know that Thyroid UK has had a long-standing campaign – the #T3 Campaign – where we have pushed for change in respect of access to liothyronine.
We are supporting the Improve Thyroid Treatment group and Tara Riddle, Co-Lead of the group, will be explaining what we are doing and how you can be involved.
Our final speaker is Lisa Donnarumma, Mindfulness Coach and Holistic Life Coach. She is going to explain how mindfulness really helps people, especially those with a chronic condition.
