Root Cause?
When you start down the path to addressing your thyroid you will often hear the comment that you need to address the root cause of your thyroid problem. Often these statements are made by people trying to sell you something (oils, bone broth, magic pills).
So, what is the root cause of thyroid issues?
The majority of Thyroid issues are caused from either Hashimoto’s or Graves’. Both of these are autoimmune diseases. While it may be true that autoimmune diseases tend to run in patterns and often if you have one you have more than one. And it is true that you can improve your autoimmune reaction through external means. See our Graves’ and Hashis page for more on those.

The root cause of these is genetics and which genes have been activated.
Don’t believe the hype that taking any external product can help “heal” your thyroid. It can make your symptoms feel a little better and alleviate some symptoms but that is all.
Here are some of the genes that affect thyroid health.
