From the two of us.

We're Manny and Jilda, a mother and son from Australia. After Jilda's thyroid cancer and a total thyroidectomy, her tests eventually came back perfect while she felt anything but. We make these printables because the right page at the right appointment can change the conversation. What we built together next became ThyroBase, Australia's first thyroid-specific AM and PM nutrition system.
