Thyroid disease can occur in various forms, with one of the most common being Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a leading cause of hypothyroidism. While nearly 20 million people (mostly women) suffer from thyroid disease, up to 60% are unaware of it. Join me as I speak with Dr. Carolyn Stone,  a naturopathic physician who empowers women with Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism to take charge of their health, as we discuss the Functional Medicine approach to diagnosing and treating hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What is Hashimoto’s disease, and why is it commonly treated as a thyroid issue when it's really an autoimmune disease?
  • The three underlying factors that present in the majority of autoimmune conditions
  • Natural strategies that can lead to symptom remission
  • A healing mindset shift
  • And more!
