AncestryFoundation | Guillermo Ruiz - Evolutionary Perspectives on Thyroid Disease - AHS19 @AncestryFoundation | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Thyroid disease affects millions of people around the world. During this presentation we will delve into the evolutionary adaptations that promote the disease state. From oxidative stress, lack of microbial pressure and energy conservation and chronic infections, the human body adapts to the environment to downregulate (or upregulate) thyroid output. Correcting the environment that causes these adaptations would resolve the problems associated with the hormonal output of the thyroid.
