The great majority (90-95%) of hypothyroid cases are Hashimoto’s. Let’s talk about what Hashimoto’s is and why this is the case.   

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition. This means that there are cells that are attacking the thyroid, which keeps the thyroid inflamed & is  more of an immune problem than a thyroid problem.   


A few Hashimoto's symptoms are:  • Stress  • Anxiety  • Depression  


You can pretty much have any thyroid symptom, but when you have Hashimoto’s, you can also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).   


What causes this?  • A high percentage of people with Hashimoto’s developed it 3-8 months postpartum.  • There are 5-8 times more women that have this condition than men.  


This tells us there is a problem with estrogen. Estrogen is a very powerful antioxidant. Many times, women have lower amounts of estrogen postpartum. This can set them up for getting this autoimmune condition.  


A few more things that could contribute to this problem are:   

• Gluten  • A zinc deficiency  • Low vitamin D   


Action Steps:   

• Take around 300mg of selenium per day  • Take iodine only if you’re deficient  • Start healthy keto and intermittent fasting
