Dr. Izabella Wentz / April 19, 2018

Thyroid Antibodies Part 2: Mechanisms to Reduce Thyroid Antibodies

In Part 1 of this article, "How to Reduce Thyroid Antibodies", I discussed why thyroid antibodies are so important as an early warning for Hashimoto’s, what their significance is in Hashimoto’s, how to test for them, and how to properly monitor them.

We know that Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune conditions develop due to three things. Genetic predisposition is one of those. The other two, intestinal permeability and autoimmune triggers, must also be present, and they are - thankfully - things we can actually address and improve upon through lifestyle interventions. What’s common in Hashimoto’s and …

Hair Loss and Your Thyroid

For many of us women, hair loss can be a distressing symptom that we experience with Hashimoto’s. In many ways, our hair represents our femininity. When we experience hair loss, we feel that we are losing some of our sense of self.

9 Medications That Are Toxic To Your Thyroid

When I was first attempting to uncover the root cause of my Hashimoto’s, I came across research by Dr. Alessio Fasano, a world-renowned gastroenterologist, relating to what causes the body to start attacking the thyroid gland in the first place.

Get Some Sunshine For Your Thyroid!

Do you ever feel worse in the winter than you do in the summer? A deficiency in Vitamin D and a certain spectrum of light may hold the key to feeling better.

Fluoride And Your Thyroid

One of my cousins is currently attending dental school in the European Union. She recently asked me, “Izabella, is it true that the government adds fluoride to the water supply in the United States in an effort to reduce dental cavities, instead of educating the public about the effect of sugar consumption and nutrition on health?” Unfortunately, the …

Turmeric for Your Thyroid and Hashimoto’s

Turmeric can be helpful in reducing whole body inflammation, healing the gut, as well as detoxifying from heavy metals in those with autoimmunity and Hashimoto’s. I love the concept of healing with food, food as medicine, or as I like to call it, food pharmacology. I became a pharmacist because I was interested in the effect different substances have …

MTHFR, Hashimoto’s and Nutrients

You may have heard of the term "MTHFR gene mutation" and may be wondering what it is, and how relevant it is in producing illness. First, I’d like to say that I prefer the term MTHFR gene variation rather than mutation. The word variation is not just more empowering, but in my opinion, also more accurate. While the word mutation implies an occurrence that …

Which Protein Is Safe for Hashimoto’s?

Which Protein Is Safe for Hashimoto’s?

Before I received my Hashimoto’s diagnosis, I used to start each day with a protein smoothie.
