THYROIDITISHASHIMOTO’S

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where the

immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to

inflammation and impaired function. This can cause

hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), which affects many body

systems, including metabolism, energy, and mood.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF

HASHIMOTO’S

Fatigue: Persistent tiredness even

after adequate rest.

Weight Gain: Difficulty losing weight

or unexpected weight gain.

Cold Sensitivity: Feeling cold even in

warm environments.

Hair Thinning and Dry Skin: Changes in

hair texture and loss, as well as dry

skin.

Depression or Anxiety: Mood swings,

irritability, or low mood.

Irregular Periods: Changes in

menstrual cycles.

HOW DOES HASHIMOTO’S

AFFECT YOUR THYROID?

In Hashimoto

’

s, the immune system

produces antibodies that attack the

thyroid, causing inflammation. Over

time, this reduces the gland’

s ability

to produce thyroid hormones, leading

to hypothyroidism. The thyroid

hormones, T3 and T4, are crucial for

regulating metabolism, energy levels,

and body temperature.

MANAGING HASHIMOTO’S WITH DIET AND LIFESTYLE

A well-balanced diet is essential for supporting thyroid health and reducing

inflammation in individuals with Hashimoto

’

s thyroiditis. While no single diet

works for everyone, the following dietary guidelines can help manage

symptoms
