Dr. Anshul Gupta is a best-selling author, speaker, researcher, and leading expert in Hashimoto's disease. Through his work, he helps people better understand the root causes of Hashimoto's and how a functional medicine approach may help improve thyroid function, reduce symptoms, and address the autoimmune process.

Hashimoto's is one of the most common autoimmune conditions affecting women, yet it is often missed or inadequately addressed. Many women are told their thyroid labs are "normal" while continuing to struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, mood changes, and other symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Gupta breaks down what may be driving Hashimoto's, why conventional treatment often falls short, and the lifestyle, nutritional, environmental, and emotional factors that can play a role in thyroid autoimmunity.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

How Hashimoto's affects the thyroid gland How Hashimoto's is diagnosed and why it is often missed Which thyroid antibodies should be included in your blood work Why looking only at TSH may not tell the full story Why conventional treatment may not address the underlying autoimmune process What thyroid antibody levels can tell us Who is most at risk for developing Hashimoto's Why women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune thyroid disease The infections that have been associated with Hashimoto's Why many women have more than one contributing root cause The dietary approach Dr. Gupta recommends for Hashimoto's The potential connection between gluten and thyroid autoimmunity How pesticides and environmental toxins may affect thyroid health Why emotional stress and nervous system dysregulation matter The stages of life when autoimmune conditions are more likely to emerge and MORE!
