[6:00] - Sex Variation in Hashimoto’s Patients [15:30] - What to Look For When it Comes to Hashimoto‘s Patients [20:00] - The Importance of Adrenals when it comes to Thyroid [42:00] - How Adrenal Dysfunction Affects Thyroid Health KEY TAKEAWAYS: Despite sounding like a rare disease, Hashimoto’s causes 90%-99% of Hypothyroidism, depending on which studies you look at. 60%-70% of patients with an autoimmune disease have a higher chance of getting a second or third disease. Thyroid hormones cause the body to clear out cortisol. Once hypothyroidism is corrected, you’ll better assess true cortisol levels.  RESOURCES: ReInvent Healthcare Thyroid Theme Get the Magic Questions Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner Training    Thyroid Revive and Thrive Thyroid Adrenal Workshop Dr. Izabella Wentz Website  Dr. Izabella Wentz Instagram  Dr. Izabella Wentz Facebook Dr. Izabella Wentz Books
