Dr Ridha Arem’s thoughts on the relationship between the coronavirus infection and thyroid disease

In this video, I describe how thyroid hormone imbalance in the body can weaken the immune system and how important it is to perfect thyroid levels with medications in order to minimize risk of COVID-19. I also describe how you can take concrete actions to optimize immune system efficiency and to reduce immune system reactivity, if you have an autoimmune thyroid disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I also explain how a viral infection such as coronavirus can promote a thyroid condition either through direct viral infection of the thyroid gland or through a potential immune system attack on the thyroid.
