The thyroid cannot function under this attack and cannot produce enough thyroid hormones. This affects every part of your body
And because it’s an autoimmune issue, people who have it are at high risk of getting another autoimmune issue

Hello! I found you on Tik Tok and am so appreciative of you sharing your knowledge! I would love to hear your thoughts around T4 levels going back down to normal levels on their own? I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in my teens and after two years of elevated tests my numbers showed normal and have remained normal. Additionally, would anything related to Hashimoto’s cause thyroid enlargement? Thank you for your time :)

My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimotos 4 years ago, she is 21 years old. She never had weight issues and has gained an average of 12 pounds a year. She has a good Endocrinologist who keeps her levels good but the weight gain is never addressed by her when asked. Should we go to a gut specialist? She is so discouraged with this disease. We would appreciate any recommendations. Thank you for your videos, they are so informative!

Hi, just found you. I recently had blood work where my tsh is on the high level. I have also pcos with no menstrual cycles. Would this be connected to my pcos as well?

I just found out I have an enlarged thyroid, it has been multinodular since 2015. My tsh is 1.49. Not certain what to do from here.
