Heal Your Hashimoto's Disease

What is Hashimoto’s Disease?

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism (low functioning thyroid).
It’s an autoimmune condition, meaning your immune system, which is supposed to protect you, mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland, causing inflammation and gradual thyroid destruction.

The thyroid regulates your metabolism, energy, weight, temperature, digestion, and even mood.
When it’s under siege, everything feels off.

Common Symptoms:

• Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix
• Brain fog, poor memory, and difficulty concentrating
• Depression or anxiety
• Constipation
• Weight gain (especially despite good habits)
• Dry skin, brittle nails, thinning hair
• Sensitivity to cold
• Slow heart rate

It’s often misdiagnosed or missed entirely, especially in early stages where lab values are normal but you can feel far from normal.

The Real Root: Autoimmunity and Inflammation

Hashimoto’s isn’t just about low thyroid. It’s about why the immune system is attacking in the first place.

Triggers can include:

• Gut dysbiosis
• Food sensitivities (especially gluten and dairy)
• Chronic infections
• Nutrient deficiencies (selenium, zinc, iron, vitamin D)
• Toxin exposure (heavy metals, pesticides)
• Stress and trauma

Lifestyle Modifications That Help Heal Hashimoto’s

There’s no magic pill, but there are powerful steps you can take to calm your immune system and support your thyroid.

1. An Anti-Inflammatory Diet

Food can be your biggest trigger or your biggest ally.

Focus on:

• Lots of colorful, non-starchy vegetables
• Healthy fats (olive oil, avocados, wild-caught fish)
• Clean proteins (grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, eggs)
• Anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, ginger)

Common foods to remove (at least temporarily):

• Gluten (linked to molecular mimicry with thyroid tissue)
• Dairy (can promote inflammation)
• Processed sugar

2. Gut Health Optimization

Your gut is the gatekeeper of your immune system, and often times called the "second brain."
Healing leaky gut can dramatically calm autoimmune flares.

We might recommend:

• Probiotics and prebiotic-rich foods
• Digestive enzymes
• Targeted supplementation to restore the gut lining

We offer gut testing to tailor a gut repair plan that’s specific to your needs.

3. Stress Reduction

Chronic stress wrecks thyroid function.

Stress management essentials:

• Daily deep breathing
• Meditation
• Grounding
• Disconnecting
• Reconnecting with nature
• Prioritizing hobbies and downtime
• Building a strong support system
• Daily hugs

4. Optimizing Nutrients

Critical nutrients for thyroid and immune health:

• Selenium
• Zinc
• Vitamin D
• Iron
• Magnesium
