Modern Thyroid and Wellness

We are exploring Hashimoto’s Disease today.

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease where the body initiates an immune response against itself, targeting and attacking the thyroid gland. Over time, Hashimoto’s gradually diminishes the ability of the thyroid to produce hormones, which may eventually lead to hypothyroidism.

Join us to learn how to recognize the symptoms of Hashimoto’s and the steps you can take toward managing it.
