Dr. Alan Christianson explains the difference between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hypothyroidism is marked by reduced production in levels of hormones from the thyroid itself and can be cured by an inclusion of more iodine in the diet. However, in this modern age iodine deficiency is unlikely. What is more likely is an autoimmune effect known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis which causes the immune system to attack the thyroid gland. This can be triggered by pollutants in the environment. By understanding the nuances behind abnormalities in the functioning of the thyroid and by being properly diagnosed, patients receive more effective treatment.
