When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 23, I don’t remember thinking about WHY I had Hashimoto’s. I don’t remember asking what caused it. Perhaps I was just too tired, too young and information wasn’t as available as it is now. I don’t know, but I have spent time since trying to figure it out!

It really is important to take the time to go back and work out what the causes and triggers are for you. Otherwise medication, diet and lifestyle changes are like cover ups and not dealing with the real issues. This is why a long term holistic approach to managing your health is really the best approach.

In this episode I talk about the factors that create the perfect storm for autoimmune thyroid disease and some practical things we can do to address them.
