Hypothyroidism-Hachimotos Connection

In this video, Dr. Westins Childs, features the differences between these two conditions and why it’s critical to understand what’s going on inside your body. Here are some of the highlights:

The symptoms of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are similar but not identical.
Hypothyroidism is a general word that refers to a condition in which the thyroid gland in the body is not functioning properly.
Some people with Hashimoto’s disease also have hypothyroidism, but having the disease doesn’t mean you’ll be hypothyroid.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that can cause hyperthyroidism, normal thyroid function, and hypothyroidism in some people.
Both illnesses are handled differently, so knowing which one you have is crucial!
