What are the best supplements for Hashimoto's? With over 20,000 products available to you, how do you know what vitamins or herbs are helpful if you have Hashimoto's disease? In this episode, Esther guides you through what is most important to support your body if you have an autoimmune disease. Support your health by following this simple plan.   I take supplements for two reasons. The first is to activate my own body to do something (like create antioxidants, make more collagen, and reduce oxidative stress.) The second is to fill gaps in my diet/life (vitamin D, minerals, adaptogens, etc.) I covered some of this in episode 3 of the Health with Hashimoto's podcast.     Products: Activation Company for Nrf2, Nrf1, GLP-1, Collagen, time-wise Rise & Reset, and more Esther's Fullscript Link for over 20,000 products to support your wellness goals     JOIN THE COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!
