In this short explanatory video, the speaker outlines why females have a higher incidence of Hashimoto's disease. She points to the complexity of the female endocrine system—specifically estrogen and progesterone—and the major hormonal cycles women experience throughout life, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. These recurring hormonal shifts place additional stress on the immune system. When the body is already weakened, this stress increases the likelihood of developing autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto's disease.

Females have much more complex systems with having estrogen, progesterone. They go through these major cycles in their lifetime when they get pregnant or when they hit menopause or when they start their periods. So these are major places that we see that a lot of females do get diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. Our body takes some time to get adjusted to it, and if our body is already weak, then there is a high chance of having autoimmune conditions, and that's where Hashimoto's disease happens.
