You cannot rule out genetic nutritional deficiencies as a source for setting

the stage for diseases like Hashimotos. There are gene variations that do not

let a persons body fully absorb or utilize certain vitamins, minerals, proteins

and enzymes. I had my DNA test and examined for these variations and found

several. My supplementing is now more customized and I now know to watch for

things like homocystiene levels since I have a problem with the B vitamins.
