'I'm sharing my story to raise awareness for what is a very ‘invisible’ diagnosis but completely life-changing.'
Sarah was diagnosed with Graves' disease and then thyroid eye disease following the birth of her child. Read her story ➡️ tinyurl.com/mscsu5zx #hyperthyroidism #TED

Because symptoms are unspecific, many endocrine diseases, including thyroid conditions, are not always picked up immediately.

Being aware of the signs & symptoms of endocrine disorders can help with earlier diagnosis

Did you know eating a good diet, being active, and getting enough sleep can contribute to good hormone health?

Did you know some cosmetics & care products contain harmful endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)?

Checking the labels and choosing products carefully can reduce our exposure to EDCs & promote good hormone health.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals surround us BUT we can reduce our exposure to these harmful chemicals linked to conditions, incl. thyroid cancer & thyroid disease

Here's one small step we can take to limit our exposure
#BecauseHormonesMatter #EuropeanHormoneDay European Society of Endocrinology (ESE)

Air fresheners, candles & household cleaners are some of the everyday household items that may contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Regularly ventilating & vacuuming can reduce our exposure to these harmful chemicals
