Mary was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1995, and now she researches and writes about these conditions and their impact on health and weight.

Since early 1997, Mary has served as founder and Guide for the award-winning About.com Thyroid website, and as editor of her popular patient thyroid news report, Sticking Out Our Necks.

Marys patient advocacy focus brings much-needed attention to underdiagnosed and often overlooked health issues.

Marys desire to cut through medical jargon and deliver information to her fellow patients in a form they can understand resulted in her first health-related book, Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You . . . That You Need to Know, which was first published in 2000 by HarperCollins, and has been a best-seller, going to more than 20 printings before a 2nd Revised Edition was published in 2005.

The book was a Prevention Book Club Selection, and Amazon Top-Selling health book, and its popularity launched a new series of consumer health books for publisher HarperCollins.
