Here are just a few celebrities with thyroid disease:
Barbara Bush and George Bush Sr.
Linda Ronstadt
Marie Osmond
Rod Stewart
Kelly Osborne
Roger Ebert (film critic)
Recently talk show host Oprah Winfrey came out with the announcement that she had "Blew out her thyroid". She had a much anticipated show on Hypothyroidism which unfortunately left many Hypothyroid sufferers very disappointed. Oprah claims a 30 day vacation in Hawaii had 'cured' her Hypothyroidism. Her guest speaker, Christine Northrup claims thyroid problems are caused by "bottling up your words". From Dr. Northrup's own web site (www.drnorthrup.com): "In many women thyroid dysfunction develops because of an energy blockage in the throat region, the result of a lifetime of 'swallowing' words one is aching to say." Huh??? I imagine we have not heard the last from Oprah. I believe she has Hashimotos and will teeter back and forth between hypo and hyper until her thyroid gives out completely forcing her to go on thyroid hormones (if she isn't already).
A celeb that was never formally diagnosed with Hashimoto's was Anna Nicole Smith. It was found during her autopsy. Anna Nicole's weight fluctuated wildly, she was depressed, had trouble sleeping, suffered from anxiety and most likely had other hypo symptoms as well. I wonder if she might still be alive today had the Hashimotos been discovered and treated. Your thyroid really does affect your body in so many ways.

I am so thankful to natural thyroid supplements. One great thing about natural thyroid supplements , it does not contain thyroid hormone so it should not be recognized as medication.
