  1. Do I take my thyroid medication as normal before the blood draw?

  2. Do you need to fast for thyroid blood work?

  3. How often should thyroid tests be done?

  4. Does it need to be in the morning?

In this weeks exclusive paid-subscriber-only newsletter, I am exploring these commonly asked questions on thyroid blood tests!

As always, I also include the latest thyroid research, news, articles, social media posts, and more.

My informative newsletter goes out every Thursday and is the best way to:

  • Get regular support, insights and boosts of motivation for your thyroid condition

  • Keep up to date with thyroid related news, research and events

  • Hear directly from me without relying on social media algorithms to actually show you my posts

My newsletters alternate between Free Access and Paid Access in order to make this publication sustainable.

  • the full newsletter once a fortnight

  • previews of premium content

  • full access to all newsletters and posts

  • Discounts on my online workshops

  • Access to an exclusive chat

  • More open and vulnerable posts. It is safer for me to share all behind a paywall.

They also get told first about exciting updates, events I’m running and behind-the-scenes news.

“The info in your newsletters has helped me get my Hashimoto’s in to remission!!”

“I have resubscribed [as a paying member] after a break. My health is super wonky again so I’m back to get some inspiration, good factual support and to not feel so isolated.”

“Thank you for such informative newsletters, Rachel. My first year of dealing with hypothyroidism, and your writing and posts have been absolutely invaluable.”

I’ve been creating these informative thyroid newsletters since March 2018. Thank you for being here!

Because many of us aren’t told this from the start.

Probably the most important thing to be aware of as someone with a thyroid condition, is whether you should take your thyroid medication before or after having any testing done, and this can be slightly different depending on which thyroid medication you are taking.
