Life for Melbourne mother-of-three Kim Lawless revolved around her daughters, and as any parent would understand, supporting your child’s wellbeing is at the top of your list of priorities. However, after the birth of her second child, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an ailment that affects your thyroid and can include symptoms of fatigue and weight gain, which resulted in her energy levels plummeting to an all-time low.

“I had all the symptoms of postnatal depression,” Kim says. “Lucky my doctor checked my thyroid and I was diagnosed.”
