May 25 – 31, 2026 Recurs yearly
International Thyroid Awareness Week is an annual global campaign that raises awareness of thyroid disorders, promotes early recognition of symptoms, encourages timely diagnosis, and supports access to appropriate treatment and ongoing care.
“Thyroid and Nutrition” focuses on the relationship between nutrition and thyroid health, including the nutrients required for normal thyroid function and the ways nutritional needs can vary across different stages of life.
The 2026 campaign particularly highlights key micronutrients such as iodine, selenium, zinc, iron and vitamin D, as well as changing dietary patterns and lifestyle habits. It also considers the relationship between nutrition and thyroid conditions, including how nutritional factors may interact with thyroid function and autoimmunity.
Importantly, the theme is not a message that particular foods or supplements can prevent or cure thyroid disease. Rather, it encourages better understanding of the nutritional factors involved in thyroid health and the importance of appropriate, evidence-based nutrition.
