What is Hashimoto’s disease?

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, which helps regulate manny functions in the body, according to the Mayo Clinic. “In Hashimoto’s disease, immune-system cells attack the thyroid gland, leading to chronic inflammation and frequently enough a decline in hormone production (hypothyroidism).”

Todryk’s first symptom was feeling cold constantly. “I remember being bundled up in a sweatshirt and still freezing,” she told Healthy Women. “Or it would be 100 degrees outside and while everyone else was complaining about the heat,I’d be cold.”

She suspected an underactive thyroid, which was confirmed with a blood test.However, it wasn’t until later that a functional medicine doctor ran more comprehensive tests and diagnosed Hashimoto’s. Todryk began taking thyroid hormone replacement therapy to manage her symptoms.
