Hey so I’m going to talk about the

nutrients involved in Hashimoto’s

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition

of the thyroid your thyroids located

right in the base of the neck and you

develop antibodies that’s basically

attacking the thyroid keeping it

inflamed

and usually that stems from some type of

a stress event could be emotional stress

or physical stress that then lowers your

immune system making you susceptible to

developing this condition okay so there

are four main nutrients that I would

recommend number one selenium you know

everyone’s talking about iodine and yes

you need iodine from sea kelp that’s

very very important but selenium is just

as important as iodine it’s a trace

mineral and it helps in the conversion

of t4 to t3 it’s also involved in making

what’s called glutathione which is

involved in the immune system in

detoxification so there’s another thing

I’m not going to give you the blog name

for it but it’s NAC that converts to

glutathione it might not be even a bad

thing to get as a supplement NAC and

glutathione to actually reduce

inflammation to improve the thyroid so

it’s not a bad thing to add if you

really want a comprehensive thing but

it’s quite a few things to look at but

selenium is very very important selenium

is also really vital in liver function

and also detoxification then we have

vitamin D vitamin D is usually always

low in Hashimoto’s and why because

vitamin D is essential to keep your

immune system working and without

vitamin D it’s the immune system just

doesn’t function and then we have

vitamin A which a lot of people don’t

talk about vitamin A is also important

with the immune system and it allows t3

to function vitamin A is usually always

low with Hashimoto’s but I’m not talking

about consuming bunch of carrots that

would be the pre vitamin A it has to be

what’s called retinol or the active form

of vitamin A so these two vitamin D and

vitamin A are fat soluble and you can

probably get them just from getting

colorful oil gets virgin cod liver oil

and that way they have a nice balance so

that would be really good

take as well just to combine those to

kill two birds with one stone touristy

and then we have magnesium magnesium

also helps in the conversion of t4 to t3

and t4 is the inactive version and t3 is

the active version of the thyroid

hormone so these are the key nutrients

that I would recommend if you have this

condition but remember you know there

could be a situation where you’re not

converting because the gallbladder is

not working or your liver is

dysfunctional because it takes your

liver to convert t4 to t3 and good

healthy kidneys as well so that’s just

something else that I always look at if

you’re trying to get your thyroid to

work a little bit better awesome last

point is estrogen when estrogen is very

very high in the body if your estrogen

dominant and that could also interfere

with our function alright so thanks so
