Health with Hashimoto’s - Thyroid or Immune Education for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease3 Sep

How Serious is Hashimoto's Disease? ⎹ Ep. 216

How serious is Hashimoto's disease? Nobody answered that at your appointment.

You got a prescription and a follow-up in six weeks. Or you got told your numbers are fine for now and we are just going to keep an eye on things. Either way, you walked out not knowing whether to brush this off or worry about it every day.

The answer sits in between those two. Hashimoto's is two things and not one. It is a thyroid that cannot keep up, and it is an immune system attacking that thyroid. Medication can help handle the first one. The second one is all yours to work on.

In episode 216, Esther gives you the facts without the fear, including what she reads in her own thyroid books about what happens when hypothyroidism goes unwatched, and why she gets most serious about this with women who are pregnant or trying to be.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the immune attack is not the life-threatening part, and what actually is
How long your antibodies can be elevated before symptoms or your TSH ever reflect it
The five labs to look at so you know which side is asking for your attention right now

Hit play and get the answer you did not get at your appointment.
