Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to chronic inflammation and eventual hypothyroidism. It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developed countries and affects women significantly more than men. Functional medicine addresses the root causes of autoimmune activation rather than simply replacing thyroid hormone.
