Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: An Overview of the Chronic Condition

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis occurs when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and damage to the gland. This can result in a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroidism, which causes fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis occurs when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and damage to the gland. This can result in a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroidism, which causes fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity.

There is currently no cure for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and the most effective treatment is hormone replacement therapy. Eating a healthy, balanced diet and avoiding foods that may trigger inflammation, such as gluten, can help manage symptoms of the disease and support overall health.
