Sarah Murdoch endorses The ATF

I am so grateful to be given this opportunity to endorse the work of the ATF and to help spread the message of the importance of thyroid health. With thyroid disease affecting one in seven Australians it is imperative we begin to understand how this affects us. For women this could affect the ability to conceive, the pregnancy itself and the health of their unborn child. After many years of trying to fall pregnant and the devastation of miscarrying, I was finally diagnosed with thyroid disease in 2004. I had no symptoms or any idea there might have been a problem with my thyroid. I feel so blessed to now have two children through the successful treatment of my thyroid.

With education and support provided by the ATF young women and pregnant and breastfeeding mothers will learn the benefits of adding an iodine supplement to their diet in preparation for the development of their baby and the important role a healthy thyroid gland has on continuing good health.

It is a simple message but one that could have a profound affect on the lives of women today.
