What are Hashimoto's versus hypothyroid symptoms? So this is a person who apparently hasn't been watching my stuff for very long. We'll go through it. So, okay. So Hashimoto's is an autoimmune attack on your thyroid. So your immune system attacks your thyroid and then it starts creating damage to the ability to make thyroid properly. And usually when you get the attack it makes a lot of thyroid hormone. It makes a lot more thyroid hormone if you're attacking an enzyme called a thyroid peroxidase enzyme. That enzyme works with hydrogen peroxide and it pulls iodine into the system. It makes thyroid hormones. And when it gets attacked, it starts getting crazy and making way more hormone that causes hyper symptoms. We'll talk about that in a second. You can also attack the thyroid tissue itself not the enzyme, just damage the tissue. That just starts as you've heard me say a million times, vomiting out, just seems like the right word for that. Just vomiting out a lot of T4 and T3. Those are the hormones you'll get hyper stuff. But Hashimoto's usually, I'd say 85% time or more, usually is first a hypothyroid. So here's how it goes. You have a thyroid, you have a thyroid problem. You have a thyroid that's working normally. And then somewhere along the line, we get an attack on our thyroid, and that attack just starts to attack the thyroid, whether it attacks the tissue or whether it attacks the enzyme. And it can be very, very low grade attack in the beginning, and often is. I just heard something, I think I was listening to a lecture which was citing research that said, "It's takes about seven years "for the attack on the thyroid to start creating a full-blown Hashimoto symptomatic picture. So in other words, you can have the attack for like seven years, not even know you have it. Maybe even longer, but let's just use the seven years. So now it's going like this. And so it's kind of subtly beating up your thyroid if you will. And eventually, you start getting tissue damage and it's settled tissue damage, and you start going into hypothyroid. Usually first, usually go on a hypothyroid. Sometimes this will all happen at once but let's just keep it simple first to do hypothyroid. In other words, your thyroid is getting beat up. It's not operating well enough. It's not making enough hormone. You're tired and your hair is falling out. These are the hypothyroid symptoms. Hair falling out, tired, somethings slow. Everything slows down. You start getting acid in digestion because your stomach's not making enough hydrochloric acid, because the mechanism has slowed down. That alters your entire digestive system. The next thing you have, constipation because you have poor chemistry, constipation. Thyroids slows down the enteric nervous system. So that's the nervous system that makes your bowels move. Next thing you know, you have constipation. It creates an inability of your gallbladder to work. So all of a sudden, maybe you start getting problems of digesting fatty foods.
