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

0:51.3	You have the hypothermalmus up here in the brain, that's the master gland that then talks to the pituitary, which is like the middleman, and down to the thyroid.
0:59.0	So we have this communication network, it's a feedback loop.
1:02.0	So... communication network. It's a feedback loop. So you have the pituitary that
1:06.9	releases thyroid-stiminating hormone, okay? And that has two purposes. One
1:11.6	is to tell the thyroid to release more hormone
1:16.2	and to increase the growth of the thyroid itself.
1:19.7	So what's happening is either there is a low T3 or T4 going on somewhere in the body that is
