what are triggers of Hashimoto's?" I'm pretty sure that I covered this in one of the presentations we did last month and be, since we did 30 presentations, I don't remember which one it was so we'll do it again. Triggers versus causes, I think I'll just cover all of that. Hashimoto's is an auto immune problem. If this is the first time you're seeing this, then Hashimoto's is an autoimmune problem more than it is a hypo thyroid problem. Even though it's both, what gets triggered that ultimately creates the immune attack against the thyroid that beats it up and causes it to be hypo thyroid is the immune system.

What we want to know is what is triggering the immune system. The immune system is classically, the person already has some sort of a propensity to have Hashimoto's. Maybe they have what's called silent Hashimoto's, you actually are getting your thyroid attacked, but it's on such a low level that you don't even know you have it, or maybe you're getting some of the symptoms, but you're kind of blowing it off as other things. And then you go and then as you're going and traveling through this great journey of life, things happen. One of the things that can happen is pregnancy. Women get pregnant. I've had literally hundreds of women come in here and go, it was going along fine. You know, I felt good and then I got pregnant and I felt great. Then I had my baby and it was like the end of my life, everything fell apart.

That's when everything began and it's been getting worse ever since. A pregnancy can create an inflammatory response, believe it or not and it can also cause antibodies shifts. In other words, when you're giving your antibodies as a woman over to the child, they can create an antibody shift. Then if the person has the propensity to develop Hashimoto's genetically, that shift causes a lot more antibodies to be flying around that person's body than normal cause they're giving those extra antibodies to the kid and boom, next thing you know, you got Hashimoto's. If anything, it causes a significant increase in inflammation. Stress does that, so you can have a big stress thing happen, could be an issue. It could be a trauma, it could be an emotional trauma.

Lots of women in here who have been sexually, verbally, physically abused, or they're taking care of a loved one and that loved one was dying slowly under their tutelage and care at home or is a divisive divorce. These things create stress, hormones, stress, hormone. The big stress hormone that most people are familiar with today is cortisol. Cortisol is actually a good hormone to have because it creates a mild inflammatory response in the body when you're attacked by anything, viruses, cuts, bruises, bacteria, and then that mild response tells your immune system to come to attack that area or heal that area. But when you get stressed, that cortisol goes way up, creates an inflammatory response. The person's already compromised, person already has parents have Hashimoto's or autoimmune disease, etc.
