Hashimoto’s Disease is known as an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system is attacking the thyroid. As a result, inflammation from Hashimoto’s disease leads to hypothyroidism. Hence, treatment of Hashimoto’s disease with thyroid hormone replacement is simple and effective.

Our expert guest for today is Dr. Izabella Wentz. She also suffered from Hashimoto's back when she was younger. “I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s during a routine physical at age 27. I was trained about the pathophysiology of diseases, as well therapeutic treatments. Our professors always stressed lifestyle interventions.”

The common symptoms of Hashimoto's are:
1. Fatigue and sluggishness
2. Increased sensitivity to cold
3. Constipation
4. Pale, dry skin
5. puffy face
6. Brittle nails
7. Hair loss
8. Enlargement of the tongue
9. Unexplained weight gain
10. Muscle aches, tenderness, and stiffness
11. Joint pain and stiffness
12. Muscle weakness
13. Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
14. Depression
15. Memory lapses
16. Complications

3. Balance blood sugar – First of all, avoid carbohydrates. Eat a lot of healthy fats, protein, and vegetables instead. Sugar swings result in the weakening of adrenals and cause a spike in thyroid antibodies.

4. Go gluten, dairy and soy free – Consequently removing them from your diet help reduce symptoms and the autoimmune attack.

5. Taking digestive enzymes
