Through my research, I've discovered that there is more to Hashimoto's than just your thyroid.
Most patients with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism will have acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, leaky gut, food allergies and adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms of impaired digestion/absorption, anxiety, chronic fatigue and chemical/environmental allergies may be seen as well.
Hashimoto's is a complicated condition with many layers that need to be unraveled. While conventional medicine only looks at each body system as a separate category, and is only concerned with the thyroid's ability to produce thyroid hormone, Hashimoto's is more than just hypothyroidism.
It took me three years to figure out the lifestyle interventions for Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism. My website, blog, and Facebook is a great place to begin.
HOW DO YOU FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR CONDITION?
You have to DIG AT IT.
