HASHIMOTO AND HORMONE BALANCE
Complete guide to understanding and supporting naturally
RESSEM Expert Guide - Integrative Approach
What is Hashimoto's thyroiditis?
A progressive autoimmune disease
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition where
your immune system gradually attacks your own thyroid
This small, butterfly-shaped gland, located at the base of your neck, plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, energy, and mood.
The destructive process:
1.
Chronic inflammation of the thyroid
2.
Progressive destruction of thyroid cells
3.
Hypothyroidism (slow metabolism)
Common symptoms
Persistent fatigue even after rest
Weight gain despite normal diet
Excessive chilliness and cold extremities
Hair loss and fragile hair
Chronic constipation
Depression and anxiety
"Brain fog" - difficulty concentrating
Irregular or absent periods
Potential Triggers
Chronic stress (physical or emotional)
Imbalance of the intestinal microbiota
Intestinal permeability ("leaky gut")
Nutritional deficiencies (iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin D)
Environmental toxins
Viral or bacterial infections
Tests to request from your doctor
A complete diagnosis of Hashimoto's requires several tests. Don't just rely on a TSH test!
A. Complete thyroid function
Ultrasensitive TSH
: regulating hormone (often high)
Free T4 (FT4)
: inactive form of thyroid hormone
Free T3 (FT3)
: active form (often low in Hashimoto)
rT3 (reverse T3)
: optional but useful analysis
B. Autoimmune markers
Anti-TPO antibodies
: the most specific marker of Hashimoto
Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies
: present in approximately 60% of patients
C. Targeted nutritional assessment
Vitamin D
: essential for immunity
Selenium
: protects the thyroid and improves T4→T3 conversion
Zinc
: crucial cofactor for thyroid function
Iron and ferritin
: often deficient, especially in women
Vitamin B12 and folates
: frequently deficient
Urinary iodine
: to be dosed with caution
D. Land evaluation
Ultrasensitive CRP
: low-grade inflammation
Cortisol and DHEA
: adrenal axis often disturbed
Intestinal assessment
: permeability (zonulin), microbiota
The RESSEM Approach: Supporting Your Overall Balance
Why is Balance-Me+ particularly suitable for Hashimoto's?
Our patented complex acts on
the root causes
which maintain and aggravate Hashimoto's, in addition to your medical monitoring.
Stress management and hormonal regulation
ASHWAGANDHA KSM-66® (clinical dosage)
Regulates the cortisol-adrenal axis
Reduces oxidative stress that aggravates autoimmunity
Improves energy and reduces chronic fatigue
Supports overall hormonal balance
SAFFRON SAFR'INSIDE™ (standardized extract)
Mood modulation and anxiety reduction
Neuro-immune anti-inflammatory action
Improved sleep quality
Cognitive and neurological support
HERICIUM ERINACEUS (medicinal mushroom)
Combats Hashimoto's typical "mental fog"
Regeneration of neural connections
Possible protective effect on the intestinal mucosa
BACOPA MONNIERI BACOPIN® (patented active ingredient)
Improves memory, concentration and mental clarity
Supports impaired cognitive functions
Metabolic balance
REDUCOSE® (white mulberry extract) + BEANBLOCK® (white kidney bean extract)
Regulation of blood sugar and insulin resistance
Crucial
because 70% of Hashimoto's patients develop insulin resistance
Support for slowed energy metabolism
Natural support protocol
1. Essential medical monitoring
Hormone replacement therapy if necessary (Levothyrox, T3, etc.)
Regular biological monitoring
Collaboration with your endocrinologist
2. Targeted nutritional approach
Avoid
: gluten (often poorly tolerated), excess soy, raw cruciferous vegetables
Favor
: foods rich in selenium (Brazil nuts), zinc (oysters), omega-3
Sustain
: microbiota with probiotics and prebiotics
3. Stress management
Techniques
: meditation, cardiac coherence, gentle yoga
Sleep
: 7-8 hours per night, bedtime before 11 p.m.
Physical activity
: moderate and regular
4. Smart supplementation
Balance Me+
: 3 capsules/day for a minimum of 3 months
Complement
with selenium, vitamin D according to your analyses

2-3 hours with your hormone treatment.
How long does it take to see results?
The first benefits (energy, mood) can appear as soon as
2-4 weeks
. Full optimization requires
3-6 months
irregularity.
