Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: An Autoimmune Challenge and the Importance of Gut Health

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Learn how addressing gut health and inflammation can help manage Hashimoto’s and improve overall well-being.

Understanding Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: 

    • An autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid gland

    • Often goes undetected due to initially normal thyroid labs

    • Requires monitoring of thyroid antibody levels for accurate diagnosis

The Importance of Gut Health: 

    • Gut health plays a crucial role in autoimmune diseases

    • Poor diet or stress can cause increased permeability, allowing harmful substances to enter the body

    • Inflammation and immune response can result, sometimes attacking healthy tissues like the thyroid gland

Dr. Scott’s Approach to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Treatments: 

    • Address inflammation: Implement an anti-inflammatory/autoimmune diet

    • Fix the gut: Focus on healing the gut to prevent further inflammation and immune response

    • Address low thyroid function
