Look Beyond Thyroid

it's the immune system, not the thyroid. Why is the immune system destroying the thyroid at a rapid pace? So many patients will have a normal TSH, just like this one patient. They'll have symptoms like crazy. They'll go from doctor to doctor, and they're given thyroid hormones, but nothing's being done to the autoimmune process. And so this patient goes from doctor to doctor, they feel like they're crazy, they're lazy, nothing's being done to help manage their symptoms and their problems, but this is because the mechanism isn't being addressed. So in this case, Which it'd be like your check engine light's on, and all the doctors want to do is just like put tape over the check engine light. Yeah. Yeah. We want to actually identify what the heck is going on with the car. Like let's look under the hood, let's see all the different imbalances that are causing and driving the Hashimoto's to flare up. And so that's the goal. Now, most low-thyroid patients, it's more of a systemic issue. It messes with the adrenal glands, Yeah. blood sugar issues, intestinal tract, liver function, brain. The brain inflammation is a very real thing when it comes to a Hashimoto's patient. This patient is a walking inflamed nightmare, and nobody knows what in the world to do to calm it down, right? So as a practitioner, our biggest goal is to do like a very extensive systemic blood test.
