We’re currently researching the relationship between diet, metabolism, and thyroid health and are looking for volunteers to join us. 

Who we need:

• Women, between the ages of 18-65 years who have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) by a medical doctor
• You must have been taking medication for your thyroid condition for at least 2 years, and/or not made any changes to this dosage in the past 2 years
• You must be English-speaking and have access to a web-based device
• You must NOT be pregnant
• You must NOT be currently following a carbohydrate-restricted diet

What you’ll be asked to do:

• Before the study begins:
  • Visit a pharmacy for baseline testing (height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure)
  • Visit your GP for baseline blood tests
• During the study:
  • Participate in a one-on-one virtual interview with the research team where you will be asked questions about your current diet and lifestyle
  • Complete a Nutrition Network virtual nutritional education intervention where you will learn more about the relationship between diet, metabolism, and thyroid function
  • Implement a carbohydrate-restricted diet
  • Participate in bi-monthly virtual group sessions for 3 months
• After 3 months, at the end of the study:
  • Visit a pharmacy for post-study testing (height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure)
  • Visit your GP for post-study blood tests
  • Participate in a one-on-one virtual interview with the research team where you will be asked questions about any changes to your diet and lifestyle

What’s in it for you?

• Free blood tests to measure your thyroid function, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels
• Free check-up with a nurse to measure your blood pressure and changes in weight and waist circumference
• Science-based education about the importance of diet on your metabolic and thyroid health
• Guidelines and support on how to implement a carbohydrate-restricted diet
• Feedback on the overall study findings
