She came to me for weight loss. But when I looked at her thyroid antibodies — TPO was above 1300. Every specialist had told her the same thing: Hashimoto's is lifelong. Manage it. Take medication. I looked at her gut instead. 7 months later — TPO dropped from 1300 to 353. Thyroglobulin from 117 to 21.9. Autoimmune disease is not always a life sentence. The gut was driving her immune attack the entire time. If your thyroid antibodies are high and you've been told to just live with it — there may be another answer. Comment GUT below and I'll share how we approach this. #Hashimotos #TPOAntibodies #ThyroidAntibodies #AutoimmuneThyroid #functionalmedicine
