What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid, often leading to hypothyroidism. It's characterized by the immune system attacking the thyroid gland, which can lead to a range of symptoms.

The Animal-Based Diet Approach

Dr. Saylor delves into how an animal-based diet can play a crucial role in managing and potentially overcoming the symptoms of Hashimoto's. This diet focuses on consuming animal products and eliminating most plant-based foods, which, according to Dr. Saylor, can help reduce inflammation and support thyroid health.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

One of the key aspects discussed in the interview is recognizing the symptoms of Hashimoto's, which can often be mistaken for general low thyroid function. Dr. Saylor emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and understanding the unique aspects of this autoimmune disorder.
