Dr. Tabatha Barber explains Hashimoto's as a mis-programmed immune response where the body attacks the thyroid. She argues a gluten-free diet is a legitimate therapeutic strategy for autoimmune conditions, not a trend, and recommends it as foundational for managing the disease.
Immediately, right now. Number 1, gluten-free. Oh my goodness, I know. That's why I say in the book, it's not a fad, it's not a fad. I know people are sick of hearing about gluten-free, but when it comes to autoimmune, specifically Hashimoto's, specifically with your thyroid, now we can absolutely overlay the gluten-free rule over all autoimmune conditions, but when we look at the thyroid and we look at Hashimoto's, First of all, just to give an analogy for the people that understand better, when you have Hashimoto's, you basically have these little soldiers that are programmed incorrectly.
