@izabellawentz: Why is it that those of us with Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune conditions are more likely to have skin issues? People with Hashimoto’s all have intestinal permeability or “leaky gut” (as it’s one of the things needed for autoimmunity to be present)! The health of our gut and the health of our skin are closely connected. An underactive thyroid can cause dull and dry skin. Our livers get backed up, and the resulting toxin overload can manifest as skin issues. Low thyroid hormones and a compromised gut make it difficult to extract essential skin-supporting nutrients from our food. Many people with Hashimoto’s have infections such as Candida overgrowth, which can cause skin issues. Have you discovered any triggers for your skin issues? Follow me @izabellawentz for more on taking charge of your own health! #skinhealth #eczema #acne
