The Thyroid: An Innocent Bystander

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease, which means the immune system loses the ability to distinguish between self and non-self.

The immune system, for various reasons begins attacking the thyroid gland. Damaged thyroid cells leak thyroid hormone into the blood stream, which can cause a hyperthyroid state or "thyroid storm."

Slowly over time, inflammation destroys the thyroid gland leaving less cells to produce thyroid hormone, in turn leaving you hypothyroid.

Autoimmune disease can ebb and flow, meaning Hashimoto's can go on for many years while hormones fluctuate within the normal range, receive no diagnosis, therefore the patient misses out on early treatment.

Your immune system is the problem, not your thyroid. Your thyroid is the innocent bystander that ends up being a target for the immune system.

Identifying Your Triggers: The Web

You must find what your unique set of triggers are for your immune system to prevent flare-ups in order to get into remission.

Triggers could be foods you're eating that you think are healthy, imbalanced microbiome, chemicals and toxins your body is exposed to on a daily basis, hidden infections, stress, and an overall unhealthy lifestyle.

These triggers influence many parts of your physiology such as gut, liver, brain, hormonal, and immune systems.

The interaction between all these aspects gives you the potential of expressing Hashimoto's disease and associated symptoms.

Testimonials

E.J.

After my first visit with Dr. Suarez I had hope. After a through work up of tests I was given a diet and lifestyle program to follow. Over the course of about 3 months I made improvements in all areas that I never thought would be possible and was able to lower my medication!

J.C.

I had no idea that I had Hashimoto’s thyroid until we ran testing, but it helped explain why I felt the way I did. It wasn’t easy but I’m so glad that I went through the dietary changes and supplement program because I now have my energy back and have booked some travel!

A.P.

When you go to the doctor, they give you a pill for every problem you have. I was on thyroid medication, which helped a little bit, but symptoms persisted. It was only when I got on a program that Dr. Suarez created for me that I started to see change. I can now function in school and feel hopeful about my future.

Turning Hashimoto's into a "has-been"

Hashimoto’s affects about 5 out of 100 people in the United States alone – 90% of true hypothyroidism is due to Hashimoto’s.

The symptoms of autoimmune disease show up in multiple parts of your body. There even are links between inflammation and thyroid hormones.

And a triad of symptoms can exist between the brain, the digestive system and the thyroid.

It is very easy to get overwhelmed with information.

This is because you only get bits and pieces without knowing how it all fits together, or what might be missing.
