Hashimotos Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland, a small but important gland located at the base of your neck. This gland plays a key role in producing hormones that regulate your metabolism, digestion, and overall energy levels. When Hashimoto’s disease causes inflammation, the thyroid often becomes underactive, leading to hypothyroidism, the most common result of this condition.
