The Hidden Cause of Thyroid Disease: Viral Infections – Video

Viruses and Thyroid Disease: Exploring the Possible Link

Dr. Vikki Petersen discusses the rise in autoimmune thyroid disease, specifically Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, following COVID-19 and other infections. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, dry hair and skin, joint pain, depression, and constipation. Conventional thyroid testing often misses early-stage autoimmune thyroid disease.

Dr. Petersen emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment through functional medicine, which addresses the root cause and unburdens the immune system. By doing so, it’s possible to normalize antibody levels and reduce the risk of developing additional autoimmune diseases.
