Why did you develop hypothyroidism? #hypothyroidism #hypothyroid #slowthyroid #thyroidproblems

This is likely why you developed hypothyroidism. So 80 to 90% of hypothyroidism research says is due to Hashimoto's, the autoimmune condition where your body attacks your thyroid gland. It kind of erodes away that tissue, makes it not really function as well, and that leaves you with hypothyroidism. Okay, so research says that's the vast majority of people, and I believe that's a lot of people. I still think as women and men, but largely women, we have a decrease in thyroid function over time as we age. So we, we stop producing hormones efficiently, just like we do in every other aspect of our body. So I would say those are top 2 reasons, Hashi, and honestly just a slow reduction in production over time.
