Question 1

Can Hashimoto's be reversed?

Accepted Answer

Hashimoto's is a chronic autoimmune condition, but antibody levels and symptoms can often be significantly improved when the underlying drivers are addressed. Many people are able to reduce antibodies, feel substantially better, and in some cases lower their medication needs in partnership with their physician.

Question 2

Do I still need thyroid medication?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, at least initially. Functional nutrition is not a replacement for thyroid medication. It works alongside your medical care to address the immune and lifestyle factors that medication alone does not. Any medication changes should always be made with your prescribing provider.

Question 3

Do I have to go gluten-free with Hashimoto's?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily for everyone, though many people with Hashimoto's do notice improvement when removing gluten, particularly if they have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. The right approach is individualized rather than universal.
