#128 - Reverse My Condition: The Thyroid Transformation Blueprint | Dr. Heather Stone (Dumien-Serrette Moulin Syrah)
Thyroiditis is when your thyroid gland becomes irritated. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common type of this health problem. It is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when your body makes antibodies that attack the cells in your thyroid. The thyroid then can't make enough of the thyroid hormone. Many people with this problem have an underactive thyroid gland. That's also known as hypothyroidism ("low thyroid") and affected people will need to take medicine to keep their thyroid hormone levels normal.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder. Normally, your autoimmune system protects your body by attacking bacteria and viruses and with this disease, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland by mistake. Your thyroid then can't make enough thyroid hormone, so your body can't work as well.
Things that may make it more likely to you for to get Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are:
- Being a woman. Women are about 7 times more likely to have the disease. Hashimoto's thyroiditis sometimes begins during pregnancy.
- Middle age. Most cases happen between 40 to 60 years of age. But it has been seen in younger people.
- Heredity. The disease tends to run in families. But no gene has been found that carries it.
- Autoimmune diseases. These health problems raise a person’s risk. Some examples are rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Having this type of thyroiditis puts you at higher risk for other autoimmune illnesses.
