When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease I wanted to know if there were any natural remedies I could try… Enter the internet and all of a sudden I was slathering gobs of coconut oil on my thyroid gland, eating two Brazil nuts a day, and making spirulina shakes! The coconut oil left my skin very moisturized, the Brazil nuts were tasty, and spirulina sure was pretty, but they didn’t help my symptoms or my thyroid markers! Instead, I found that balancing my blood sugar with more protein

Did you know that most cases of thyroid disease are autoimmune in nature? Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that happens to affect the thyroid gland. 🦋 Hashimoto’s is a progressive autoimmune condition and may take many years to develop... 🦋 Hashimoto’s is not usually discovered until it has progressed to the advanced stages, where there is significant damage to the thyroid gland. 🦋 In this video, I’d like to walk through the 5 stages of Hashimoto’s and share what each stage

Hashimoto's is more than just hypothyroidism. Most patients with Hashimoto's will present with acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, intestinal permeability, food sensitivities, and blood sugar issues, in addition to the "typical" hypothyroid symptoms such as cold intolerance, hair loss, fatigue, and constipation. With Hashimoto’s, the body becomes stuck in a vicious cycle of immune system overload, adrenal insufficiency, gut dysbiosis, impaired digestion, inflammation, and thyroid hormone release

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in my 20’s and at the time the hardest thing was that no one understood how difficult day to day tasks were for me due to the intense fatigue. If you are going through this- I see you! And I would love to share that addressing a controversial condition known as adrenal fatigue gave me my energy back! Taking charge of my health gave me my life back. I hope I can help you- comment ABC to get my free Adrenal Fatigue guide ❤️ | Thyroid Pharmacist, Dr. Izabella Wentz

🦋 Hashimoto’s is more than just a condition involving low thyroid hormone – it involves an autoimmune attack on the thyroid that, if left unaddressed, leads to the destruction of the thyroid gland. 🦋 When the thyroid is under attack, a person may experience many symptoms, like the ones shown here. 🦋 The good news is that we can REVERSE the progression of the autoimmune attack on the thyroid, through dietary and lifestyle changes, and even put Hashimoto’s into remission!

Putting yourself first while healing from Hashimoto’s can feel selfish at times… but it shouldn’t! Eliminating stress and giving yourself the nurture you need to heal, are critical parts of overcoming autoimmune disease. By saying no to activities that don’t serve you and giving yourself the space you need to rest, you are not only giving your body what it needs to heal, but also giving the other people in your life the best version of yourself. Ultimately, it’s a win-win! What is one thing you

Hashimoto’s is more than just hypothyroidism. It is a complex autoimmune condition that affects multiple systems and processes within the body. Hashimoto’s develops when an imbalanced immune system leads an attack on the thyroid gland, resulting in hypo- and hyperthyroid symptoms. 🦋 When a trigger or root cause factor, such as a toxin or infection, permeates through a leaky gut and attacks the thyroid cells, the thyroid will respond by sending out a stress signal. 🦋 This stress signal alerts t

If I’ve learned one thing after reversing my own Hashimoto’s and helping thousands of others do the same… it’s that all roads lead back to the gut. The three-legged stool of autoimmunity is based on research that shows that three “legs” must be present in order for an autoimmune disease to develop: 🧬 A genetic predisposition ☠️ Exposure to a trigger such as stress, trauma, toxins, or certain medications 🦠 Intestinal permeability, aka “leaky gut” While we can’t control our genes, and it may tak

Your symptoms are real! Many of us with Hashimoto’s “look” healthy on the outside, so it can be very difficult for those close to us, and even our doctors, to believe that there’s something wrong. This is why getting a Hashimoto’s diagnosis can be so important and life-changing for many of us. “Finally - something that explains why I’ve been feeling this way!” Even though it can be hard to hear that you have an autoimmune disease, it can also be empowering.

In the early days of my own Hashimoto’s journey, I felt awful after drinking any alcohol, and did not tolerate it. Drinking even small amounts left me exhausted for days after. However, after getting into remission, I was able to enjoy the occasional glass of wine, margarita, or mojito with minimal issues. That said, people with thyroid conditions may have a reduced tolerance to the effects of alcohol, which can result in some nasty hangovers, even after a small amount of alcohol. My hangover re

Nutrient deficiencies in Hashimoto’s are incredibly common, and over the years I’ve seen patterns in the most common deficiencies. I’ve also witnessed incredible transformations when people start supplementing with the right nutrients! Here are a few things to know about nutrient deficiencies: – Even people who are eating organic, nutrient-dense diets are at risk for micronutrient deficiencies, as factors like low stomach acid, fat malabsorption, and a deficiency in digestive enzymes will result

When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, my thyroid antibodies were in the thousands — and I still vividly remember being told they “didn’t matter.” But here’s the truth: they do matter. And understanding how to lower them was one of the biggest turning points in my healing journey. In my latest Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations podcast episode, I spoke with the wonderful @thyroidnaturopath, Dr. Robin Urekar, about the truth behind thyroid antibodies — and why most doctors are getting

Food sensitivities are extremely common for most people with Hashimoto’s - in fact, many people who don’t currently suffer from an autoimmune disease, are probably dealing with intolerances to certain foods (and may not know that they’re at the root of some of their chronic symptoms). 🍫🍞🍅🥫 🧀 Dairy was a big culprit for me. Once I gave it up, my acid reflux, bloating, coughing, joint pain, and diarrhea went away with it! 🥦 But people can become sensitive to any food - and food sensitivities

Each person with Hashimoto’s has their own unique root causes, but I’ve found that following a diet free of common food sensitivities known to cause inflammation and perpetuate the autoimmune attack on the thyroid, will always help a person with thyroid disease. If you’ve been eating a Standard American Diet (S.A.D.), consisting of a large quantity of grains, dairy, soy, and processed foods, you may find that following a healing diet can make the transition to a thyroid-friendly diet easier.

I first learned about the gluten-free diet as an option for Hashimoto’s when I came across a small study of people with undiagnosed celiac disease and subclinical hypothyroidism. This was after I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and looking for solutions beyond thyroid medication. 🍞 The study found that a gluten-free diet could help normalize thyroid function in some cases of co-occurring thyroid disease with celiac disease. 🍞 I was tested for celiac disease but didn’t have it so I delayed going

Have you seen strawberries on the “Don’t Eat List” for thyroid disease? Let’s explore where this myth came from and debunk it. :-) Strawberries often get categorized as “goitrogens,” foods that might theoretically interfere with thyroid function. But it’s important to understand that there are different types of goitrogens, and they’re not all created equal. Strawberries, for instance, contain a small amount of a goiterogenic substance called thiocyanate, a naturally occurring plant compounds. W

Does this sound familiar? So many women that I meet with autoimmune disease fit this archetype. They’re smart, driven, and have been considered overachievers for most of their lives. On top of that they’re amazing daughters, partners, friends, and mothers - always putting the needs of others above their own. And they also tend to be perfectionists, excelling in all parts of their lives. And while all that sounds extremely admirable, there’s one small problem – these characteristics can lead to a
