In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring Gabs, who shares their personal journey with Graves disease. Graves disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid which leads to hypothyroidism. Gabs openly sheds light on the challenges of living with this challenging and often-misunderstood disease. Gabs takes us through their experience, discussing the initial symptoms, the diagnosis process, and the emotional impact of receiving a life-altering diagnosis. He discusses the challenges of juggling this diagnosis with ADHD and we delve into the physical and mental aspects of managing Graves disease, including things like anxiety, increased heart rate, weight fluctuations, and emotional well-being. Gabs encourages empathy and support for individuals living with Graves disease, fostering a compassionate society for those with invisible illnesses. I really enjoyed this thought-provoking chat with Gabs, unraveling the complexities of Graves disease.

💗 Thank you so much for being here on this new little adventure with me! 💗

The Before You Bloom Podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I would like to recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and culture and pay my respects to their elders past, present, and emerging, and any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening today.
