Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid condition, is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, and yet, it’s rarely ever tested for. Even when it is, it’s usually just looking at a single piece of the puzzle. Conventional treatment for autoimmune conditions, like Hashimoto’s, gives little hope to those who are suffering, leaving them to a lifelong illness that often requires medication to manage symptoms. Through the lens of Functional Medicine, we’re able to see there are many underlying factors that contribute to autoimmune disease, which vary person to person even for the same disease. Dr. Izabella Wentz discusses how she approaches treating Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid condition that often affects the brain when left untreated.

Also, Dr. Elizabeth Boham talks about how to test for Hashimoto’s, foods to eat to support the thyroid, and much more.
