An autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, gradually destroying its ability to produce thyroid hormones and leading to hypothyroidism.
Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It is diagnosed by the presence of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and/or thyroglobulin antibodies. A naturopathic approach addresses both the thyroid hormone deficiency and the underlying autoimmune process through dietary modifications (often gluten-free), gut health optimization, selenium supplementation, and stress management.
Patients with hypothyroid symptoms and elevated thyroid antibodies, or those with a family history of autoimmune conditions and thyroid dysfunction.
