Gluten is a common trigger for Hashimoto’s and can aggravate thyroid-related symptoms. In my survey of over 2000 individuals with Hashimoto’s, 93 percent felt better after going gluten-free! It’s worth noting that of those who responded, only 3.5 percent had celiac disease. 😩 Most readers said their reactions included gut issues like constipation, diarrhea, cramping, bloating, gas, nausea, and burning or burping from acid reflux, as well as symptoms such as headaches, brain fog, anxiety, depres

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a disorder caused by an autoimmune reaction in which antibodies produced by the immune system mistakenly attack healthy cells in the thyroid, causing inflammation and damage. This autoimmune reaction disrupts the body's ability to produce sufficient amounts of the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which have important roles in regulating metabolism, growth, and development. Over time, this can lead to hypothyroidism—a condition resulting from too littl

Why Diet Matters in Hashimoto's Disease Wondering why diet is crucial for managing Hashimoto's disease? In this video, I explain how molecular mimicry and cross-reactivity of antibodies against food proteins can trigger and drive autoimmunity. Learn about the importance of the AIP diet, a potential trial-and-error strategy, and immune-based testing to detect reactive foods. These approaches are vital for reducing immune reactivity and managing Hashimoto's effectively. Unlock your path to better

What’s the connection between H. Pylori infections and Hashimoto’s? It’s not completely understood but it appears to be likely that gut infections with H. Pylori may trigger Hashimoto’s in otherwise healthy people. In addition, H. Pylori infections also may potentially trigger flare-ups in those who have Hashimoto’s. No matter what, it’s a good idea to be tested for H. Pylori and treated if you have Hashimoto’s because at best you may see some improvement in your thyroid, and at worst, it’s stil

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid, causing inflammation and damage. As a result, the thyroid gland is unable to produce enough hormones, resulting in a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an enzyme that is essential for thyroid hormone production. In Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the immune system produces antibodies that attack TPO, preventing it from working properly. As a result, the thyro

What happens when someone gets Hashimoto's Disease? Did you know that the most common reason why someone develops thyroid disorders is that the body starts attacking the thyroid gland? When addressing thyroid disease (and any disease for that matter) we need to start talking about why, looking and addressing the root cause of dysfunction. This is how we can truly heal. #hypothyroidism #healingyourthyroid #healingnaturally #thyroidantibodies #thyroiddisease #thyroidhealing #thyroidheal #thyroidhe
