Very popular one that we get a lot of questions on. In fact, we get so many questions that we might be doing this for another 365 days on Hashimoto's. But yeah, Hashimoto's and flare ups, it's funny because it's so like, duh, yeah, of course you get flare ups when you get Hashimoto's. Oh, you didn't know that. So essentially Hashimoto's is about... It's an autoimmune problem. Any autoimmune problem that you have, I don't care whether it's rheumatoid arthritis, or whether it's lupus or Sjögren’s, you get flare ups. You get flare ups, you get stressed, you get a flare up. You eat food you don't know about, you get a flare. Up in the end, it's an autoimmune problem. I have to keep bringing you back to it's an autoimmune problem. It's an autoimmune problem. It's an autoimmune problem. Yes, I know when I'm going to my endocrinologist, it's an autoimmune problem.

So in my world, if I really break it down despite... It must be a thousand hours online that we have now or something like that. Treating autoimmunity is about putting that person into remission. You have heart palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks, you're getting night sweats and then you go on to fatigue and the idea is to put that person in remission so that those symptoms don't come about. You're going to dampen the stresses that are in the system there. You're going to fill in the nutrients that are deficit. You're going to find out which toxins are triggering that. So you're looking for the triggers.

So in autoimmunity, you have an immune system that's attacking you. The goal of the practitioner, whether it's medical or whether it's alternative, is to stop that, put you in remission. And then the goal is to keep you in remission. Some people are easier than others. Some people have more flare ups, some people have less. It just depends on the severity of their attacks, how long they've had them, how low their threshold is for being attacked. But my goal, when when you come in here, it's like okay you have an autonomy problem, we're going to look for all of the triggers, because the cause is long gone. You have a genetic problem, you have that, you've had an initial trigger, you have that. But we're looking for the present day triggers, and any one of those triggers can cause a flare up. Bad day can cause a flare up.

If you have Hashimoto's and depending on how severe it is, you might have a metabolic capacity of, I can only do five things in a day, and if you do the sixth thing, you crash. That's a flare up. What are you flaring up? You're flaring up inflammation. What is inflammation doing? It's flaring up the immune response. What's the immune response doing? It's hitting your thyroid. What's the thyroid going? Anxiety, panic attacks and night sweats and insomnia and heart palpitations and stuff like that. So, the whole protocol, it's funny because when I first started doing Hashimoto's years ago, It was like, "you got a supplement for Hashimoto's?" And I would spend like 30 minutes explaining this to people and they would go, "Ah, I don't want to do all that. I just want a supplement for Hashimoto's". Well it doesn't exist, so this is what exists.
