Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland.

Gut health and gluten sensitivity play a role in Hashimoto's, and removing gluten from the diet can improve symptoms.

Summary

In this episode, Lori Aikman discusses the best diet for individuals with hypothyroidism who are trying to lose weight.

She explains that the most common cause of hypothyroidism in industrialized countries is Hashimoto's, an autoimmune thyroid disease.

A key factor in managing hypothyroidism is reducing inflammation and avoiding foods that trigger the immune system. The top inflammatory foods to avoid are gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, and sugar.

Additionally, Lori emphasizes the importance of managing insulin resistance by reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing protein consumption. These dietary changes can help improve thyroid function and support weight loss.
