Autoimmune disease is not random.
Research from Dr. Alessio Fasano at Harvard shows three things must be present for it to develop: a genetic predisposition, an environmental trigger, and a permeable gut. Genes load the gun. Environment and the gut pull the trigger.
Here is why that matters for Hashimoto's. You cannot change your genes, but the triggers can be removed and the gut can heal. When they are, the autoimmune attack can slow, quiet, or in some cases go into remission.
That is the door root-cause care opens, and the one a prescription alone does not.
