Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, is an under-diagnosed epidemic that affects many people worldwide. It is a complex condition that is often misdiagnosed or overlooked by conventional medicine. However, functional medicine expert Dr. Anshul Gupta has made it his mission to educate women and men worldwide on reversing Hashimoto's disease.

 

Dr. Anshul Gupta is a board-certified family medicine physician with advanced certifications in functional medicine, peptide therapy, and fellowship training in integrative medicine. He is a bestselling author, speaker, and researcher who educates people worldwide on reversing Hashimoto's disease and has helped thousands of patients reverse their health issues by using the concepts and underpinnings of functional medicine. 

 

Dr. Gupta emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of Hashimoto's, including environmental toxins, stress, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and iodine levels, and stresses the importance of finding a practitioner who listens and understands your concerns. The systemic nature of Hashimoto's means that it can have a destructive impact on the body beyond the thyroid gland. Toxins are a major trigger for Hashimoto's, and they are prevalent in our environment, making it difficult to avoid exposure.

 

In this episode, we will delve into the different causes of Hashimoto's, why it is so under-diagnosed, and why we are seeing an epidemic of the disease. We will also discuss Dr. Gupta's simple protocol for reversing Hashimoto's and the implications and potential impact of his work.
