90 to 98% of women diagnosed with low thyroid actually have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but doctors often miss it because treatment hasn't changed since 1891. The standard approach is just thyroid hormone replacement, even though we now understand much more about how thyroid works with female hormones.
90 to 98% of women who've been diagnosed with low thyroid actually have Hashimoto's. The number one thing that I see is ignoring and brushing off Hashimoto's. And the reason this happens is because they don't have any other drugs that they would give you. How long ago did they introduce thyroid replacement hormone? 1891 is when they first introduced, like, a glandular thyroid hormone. And that is how they're treating low thyroid today. It has not changed. Wow. And we know so much more about thyroid physiology in the human body and female physiology and female hormones.
