Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's How To Lower Thyroid Antibodies Part 1: The Basics
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped molecules that help to protect the body against antigens (foreign substances), including pathogenic bacteria, food, proteins, chemicals, and more. In autoimmunity, autoantibodies are produced against the cells of your own body.
Normalizing thyroid antibodies can be very challenging. From finding and removing triggers to healing the gut and removing toxins from the environment, lowering thyroid antibodies is not an easy process for many people. Since I receive so many questions on this topic, I decided to create a series of episodes covering the different factors that can help you lower and eventually normalize your thyroid antibodies.
In today’s episode, I’m starting with the basics. I discuss the complexities of thyroid antibodies, including their types and the triad of autoimmunity, the importance of proactive testing, why we need to address underlying causes rather than solely focusing on symptom management, the role of supplements, and more. Enjoy the episode!
