Thyroid Deep Dive: Root Causes of Hashimoto’s

This episode of the Surviving to Thriving podcast explores the root causes, symptoms, and holistic treatment options for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S. I explain how this autoimmune condition attacks the thyroid and how early symptoms—like fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and weight gain—are often mistaken for stress or burnout. We’ll dive into the key root triggers, including chronic infections (like Epstein-Barr), mold exposure, food sensitivities (especially gluten and dairy), and stress. You’ll also learn about the most accurate testing methods (TPO antibodies, free T3/T4), why TSH alone is not enough, and how to create a personalized healing plan. I’ll walk you through diet, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to calm the immune system, support thyroid function, and move from just surviving to thriving.
