hey so I want to talk about the nutrients involved in Hashimoto Hashimoto is an autoimmune condition of the thyroid your thyroids located right in the base of the neck and you you develop antibodies that’s basically attacking the thyroid keeping it inflamed and usually that stems from some type of a stress event could be emotional stress or physical stress that then lowers your immune system making you susceptible to developing this condition okay so there are four main nutrients that I would recommend number one selenium you know everyone’s talking about iodine and yes you need iodine from seekel that’s very very important but selenium is just as important as iodine it’s a trace mineral and it helps in the conversion of uh T4 to T3 it’s also involved in making what’s called glutathione which is U involved in the immune system and detoxification um so there’s another thing I’m not going to give you the long name for it but it’s NAC that converts to glutathione it might not be even a bad thing to get as a supplement NAC and glutathione to actually reduce the inflammation to improve the thyroid so that’s not a bad thing to add if you really want a comprehensive thing but it’s quite a few things to look at but selenium is very very important selenium is also really uh vital in liver function and also detoxification um then we have vitamin D vitamin D is usually always low in Hashimoto and why because vitamin D is essential to keep your immune system working and without vitamin D it’s immune system just doesn’t function and then we have vitamin A which a lot of people don’t talk about vitamin A is also important with the immune system and it allows T3 to function vitamin A is usually always low with Hashimoto but I’m not talking about consuming a bunch of carrots that would be the previtamin a it has to be what’s called retinol or the active form of vit vitamin A so these two vitamin d and vitamin A are fat sble and you can probably get them just from getting civer oil gets virgin civer oil and that way they have a nice balance so that would be really good to take as well just to combine those um to kill two birds with one stem s to speak and then we have magnesium magnesium also helps in the conversion of T4 to T3 and T4 is the inactive version and T3 is the active version of the thyroid hormone so these are the key nutrients that I would recommend if you have this condition but remember um you know there could be a situation where you’re not converting because the gallbladder is not working or your liver is dysfunctional because it takes your liver to convert T4 to T3 and good healthy kidneys as well so that’s just something else that I always uh look at if you’re trying to get your thyroid to work a little bit better also the last point is estrogen when estrogen is very very high in the body body if you’re estrogen dominant that could also interfere with thyroid function all right so thanks so much for watching and leave your comments below press the sub okay jeez let me do that over again press the Subscribe button press just press this button right here subscribe okay that one right there just do it right now hey if you’re enjoying my videos press the Subscribe button below and I will keep you updated on the future events thank you so much
