Dr. Westin Childs Podcast: Thyroid | Weight Loss | Hormones

Have you ever wondered about the difference between hypothyroidism and hashimoto's thyroiditis? It's actually not that complicated but it's a very important thing to understand because EACH condition is treated differently. In addition, what causes hypothyroidism does not necessarily cause Hashimoto's and vice versa. Hashimoto's will almost always result in hypothyroidism but not all cases of hypothyroidism are caused by Hashimoto's (the list is actually more diverse). Learn how to identify the difference between these conditions, what the conditions mean for you, what causes them, and how they are treated.
