In your brain is the hypothalamus, which is like the master gland. It talks with the pituitary, which is like the middleman, which in turn speaks with your thyroid in a feedback loop. Your pituitary releases thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), instructing your thyroid to release more hormones and to increase the growth of the thyroid. If T3 or T4 (thyroid hormones) are low, which signals the pituitary to make more hormones, or if there is an immune problem interfering with the feedback loop, creating antibodies and causing inflammation, and attacking your own thyroid, you have a thyroid problem. Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition, which means there are cells attacking the thyroid and keeping it inflamed. Therefore, Hashimoto’s is more of an immune problem than a thyroid problem. The best way to test for Hashimoto’s is a test called thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TBO Ab) or TGA b. If the test is positive, chances are you have Hashimoto’s disease. Three common symptoms are stress, anxiety, and depression, or any other hypothyroid symptom. What’s odd about Hashimoto’s is that you could also have hyperthyroid symptoms too. Sometimes this condition takes a long time to develop. You may test positive but not show symptoms for ten or fifteen years. Hashimoto’s is caused by several things. One is being three to eight months postpartum. Five to eight times more women than men have this condition. This tells us there’s a problem with estrogen. Estrogen is a powerful antioxidant, which is one reason women live longer than men. As well, estrogen is lower postpartum. Gluten is another factor because it can cause a leaky gut. Other causes are a zinc deficiency or a vitamin D deficiency. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant and has the potential to reduce the thyroid antibodies. It also helps convert T4 to T3, which is the active form of thyroid hormone and can benefit someone with Hashimoto’s. Take 300 micrograms daily. You don’t need to take iodine unless you have an iodine deficiency. Get a test because if you take too much iodine, you can aggravate things. If you have Hashimoto’s disease, now you better understand what caused it and what you can do to support your thyroid and immune health.
