Together we explore the most common causes of diagnosed hypothyroidism and how the thyroid and thyroid imbalances are connected to adrenal imbalance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Despite sounding like a rare disease, Hashimoto’s causes 90%-99% of Hypothyroidism, depending on which studies you look at.
60%-70% of patients with an autoimmune disease have a higher chance of getting a second or third disease.
Thyroid hormones cause the body to clear out cortisol. Once hypothyroidism is corrected, you’ll better assess true cortisol levels.
