Let’s dispel some immunity myths that are particularly relevant to women dealing with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s 💥
Myth 1️⃣: If I sanitize everything, I won’t get sick.
In our journey with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, it’s crucial to understand that it’s impossible to completely avoid germs. Plus, a healthy microbiome is essential for a strong immune system – helping us manage infections, allergies, and inflammation.
Myth 2️⃣: I need to “boost” my immune system.
Boosting immunity may sound tempting, but for those of us dealing with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, it’s important to strike a balance. An overactive immune system can contribute to allergies and autoimmune issues.
Myth 3️⃣: Vitamin C will keep me healthy.
While vitamin C is beneficial for the immune system, women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s need a holistic approach. Key immune nutrients include vitamins A, D, E, selenium, zinc, and protein.
