In this YouTube short, Dr. Tabatha Barber shares a personal account of a severe Hashimoto's thyroiditis episode. She describes her antibody levels soaring above 1,000, indicating an out‑of‑control autoimmune response. At the same time, her vitamin D level was extremely low—around 11–15 ng/mL. She emphasizes that vitamin D levels below 30 ng/mL make the body highly vulnerable to illness and impair the ability to fight infections.

That was when my Hashimoto's was the worst. It was so out of control. My antibodies were over 1,000. Like, they just didn't register. They were over 1,000. And I'm guessing you weren't taking a vitamin D supplement. No, my vitamin D was like, I don't know, 11 or 15. It was something ridiculous in the teens. And like, under 30, you are so susceptible to disease and getting sick and not being able to fight that off.
