Understanding Hashimoto’s & Hypothyroidism

Understanding Hashimoto’s & Hypothyroidism

Functional Medicine
autoimmune issues gastrointestinal issues thyroid issues

Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, affects millions of Americans—with Hashimoto’s disease being the cause in nearly 90% of cases. This autoimmune condition causes the immune system to attack the thyroid, making symptom management difficult, even when taking thyroid medication.

While medication can help maintain thyroid hormone levels, it doesn’t address the underlying immune dysfunction. The good news? By supporting and balancing the immune system, you can reduce flare-ups and promote long-term thyroid health.

Here are key steps to support thyroid healing naturally:

  • Eliminate inflammatory foods, such as gluten and dairy
  • Follow an autoimmune-friendly diet, if needed
  • Repair the gut with targeted nutritional support
  • Stabilize blood sugar levels to support overall health

Taking action to manage autoimmunity now can reduce your risk of developing other chronic conditions in the future.
