The Hidden Root Causes of Hashimoto’s & Thyroid Dysfunction

- Thyroid symptoms are often caused by deeper root imbalances
Dr. Heather Stone explains that thyroid dysfunction is rarely just a thyroid problem. Blood sugar imbalances, chronic stress, inflammation, gut health, hormone imbalances, and toxic load can all impact thyroid function and contribute to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and irregular cycles. - Standard thyroid testing often misses important dysfunction
Many women are told their labs are “normal” because only TSH is tested. Dr. Stone emphasizes the importance of comprehensive thyroid testing, including free and total T3 and T4, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, and additional markers that help uncover autoimmune activity and poor thyroid hormone conversion. - Healing requires a personalized, long-term approach
Rather than chasing quick fixes, Dr. Stone shares her seven-pillar thyroid transformation framework, which focuses on comprehensive testing, customized care, coaching, retesting, and sustainable lifestyle changes. She stresses that progress comes from consistency, mindset shifts, and addressing the underlying causes driving disease.
