Shownotes
In this episode, Nicole dives deep into the significance of gluten elimination for individuals with Hashimoto's disease, detailing six reasons why this dietary change is recommended for reducing Hashimoto's symptoms and potentially lessening the need for medication.
Nicole also discusses the evolution of wheat to a hybrid grain, which is typically less tolerated by the body; the connection between an overactive immune system, the onset of additional autoimmune diseases and how gluten can fuel these issues.
