Every thyroid client has a unique combination and root causes exist as layers where multiple areas may overlap 💌

Autoimmunty + Immune Dysregulation
90-95% of hypothyroidism is autoimmune (Hashimoto’s)
Immune system mistakenly attacks thyroid tissue.
Key triggers: genetics, gut dysfunction, infections, toxins, stress.
Look out for latent infections and viral reactivation: helicobacter pylori, candida, Lyme, EBV, CMV, COVID, hepatitis, herpes, gum infections, vaccinations.

Gut Dysfunction
Gut health directly influences thyroid conversion & immune regulation.
Leaky gut (intestinal permeability)
Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria)
Constipation, IBS, SIBO, Candida

Nutrient Deficiencies
Your thyroid needs specific nutrients to function: Selenium, zinc, iron, iodine, vitamin D, B12

Hormonal Imbalances
Thyroid + reproductive hormones are deeply connected.
Oestrogen dominance, PCOS, progesterone deficiency, cortisol dysregulation/adrenal imbalance all affect thyroid

Toxin Exposure
Environmental toxins disrupt thyroid function
Flouride, bromide, BPA, plastics, heavy metals, pesticides, mould exposure

Nervous System Dysregulation
Chronic stress alters HPA axis function → impacts thyroid.
Trauma, burnout, ‘survival mode’

Dietary Stress + Blood Sugar Imbalance
The thyroid needs fuel to function and the wrong dietary patterns create internal stress.
Chronic under-eating, fasting, or carb restriction can slow thyroid function.
Carbohydrates required for T3 production
Inconsistent blood sugar → cortisol spikes → thyroid suppression.
Low protein intake → poor hormone and tissue repair.
Over-restriction triggers metabolic adaptation (“starvation mode”).
