Dr. Anshul Gupta is a best-selling author, speaker, researcher, and leading expert in Hashimoto's disease. Through his work, he helps people better understand the root causes of Hashimoto's and how a functional medicine approach may help improve thyroid function, reduce symptoms, and address the autoimmune process.

Hashimoto's is one of the most common autoimmune conditions affecting women, yet it is often missed or inadequately addressed. Many women are told their thyroid labs are "normal" while continuing to struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, mood changes, and other symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Gupta breaks down what may be driving Hashimoto's, why conventional treatment often falls short, and the lifestyle, nutritional, environmental, and emotional factors that can play a role in thyroid autoimmunity.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

How Hashimoto's is diagnosed and why it is often missed
