## Resource

Could your "thyroid problem" actually be an underlying autoimmune condition that is currently being ignored? I sat down with Dr. Heather Stone, a practitioner dedicated to uncovering what’s really going on when your labs say you're "fine" but you feel anything but. We dive deep into why the vast majority of thyroid cases are actually Hashimoto’s and how environmental triggers like gluten and glyphosate are fueling the fire. You'll learn how to stop being "patted on the head" by conventional medicine and start taking control of your hormones and immune health through comprehensive testing. (00:00) A "normal" TSH range doesn't always mean your thyroid health is functioning optimally. (00:52) Common symptoms of thyroid issues that are frequently dismissed as simple aging or perimenopause. (02:05) The majority of women diagnosed with low thyroid actually have an underlying autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's. (03:33) Shift your focus from the thyroid as the victim to the underlying immune system triggers causing the attack. (04:05) The feedback loops between insulin surges and immune system attacks on your thyroid. (05:56) The specific 12 markers needed for a comprehensive dysglycemia panel to truly assess your metabolic health. (06:39) Two specific antibodies are required to accurately diagnose Hashimoto's disease beyond standard lab tests. (08:21) Gluten sensitivity and glyphosate exposure are significant factors in thyroid-related molecular mimicry.
