Vitamin D as a Root Cause of Hashimoto's ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 203

Are you still exhausted even though you're doing everything you can for your Hashimoto's? The problem might be something you literally cannot feel.

Vitamin D is one of the most common root cause triggers for Hashimoto's, and most women have no idea their levels are low. You cannot feel it when your vitamin D is low. You cannot feel it when it is high. The only way to know is to test. And if your levels are not where they need to be, your immune system is missing one of its most important tools for calming down.

In this episode, Esther breaks down why vitamin D is a root cause trigger for Hashimoto's, how it works in your immune system, and what you actually need to know about getting your levels up, whether that is through summer sun exposure or smart supplementation.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why vitamin D acts like a brake system for your immune system and what happens when those brakes fail
• What optimal vitamin D levels actually look like and why "not deficient" is not good enough
• How summer sun exposure works, why it is not as simple as going outside, and what to do about it year round
