Hashimoto's is one of the most common autoimmune diseases and one of the most under diagnosed. In this episode, Dr. Kathryn Heidt, a doctor of Functional Medicine who focuses on women's health and optimization, explains the root causes of Hashimoto's and what you can do to reverse it and feel like yourself again. She explains why the thyroid is especially susceptible to attack from the immune system, what labs to run to get a diagnosis faster, how estrogen plays a major role in the development of Hashimoto's and other autoimmune diseases, and most importantly what changes you can make to see improvements in your symptoms and even in your lab panels.
