Iodine plays a vital role in our health. It's needed by the thyroid to make thyroid hormones. And it's these hormones that regulate so many of our body's functions.

In recent years the UK's intake has been declining and is becoming a growing public health concern.

This World Iodine Deficiency Day we're highlighting:

â„ą Why iodine is important in our diet
â„ą Who might be at risk of deficiency
â„ą Good sources of iodine in the diet
â„ą What happens if you have too little or too much iodine
â„ą Guidance for people with an existing thyroid condition

We understand iodine can be a very confusing issue so we also separate some of the facts from the fiction.

It's World Osteoporosis Day.

Did you know thyroid hormone plays a vital role in the rate at which we replace bone?

So having too high levels of thyroid hormone (thyroxine) over long periods, particularly in undiagnosed or poorly controlled hyperthyroidism, can affect our bone health.

You can read more facts about the link between thyroid conditions and osteoporosis, and things we can do to protect our bone health, in our article đź”— https://www.btf-thyroid.org/thyroid-disease-and-osteoporosis

Following World Menopause Day, we're highlighting how symptoms of thyroid conditions and peri/menopause can often overlap.

This can lead to some thyroid symptoms being put down to peri/menopause and vice versa.

And if you already have hypothyroidism, you may need a change in your thyroxine dose around peri/menopause, or if you start oral HRT.

Our article by consultant endocrinologist Prof Annice Mukherjee, explains more đź”— https://www.btf-thyroid.org/thyroid-menopause
