Can mold exposure cause thyroid problems? 

Mold triggers thyroid problems, by increasing inflammation in the body. When it comes to environmental causes of hypothyroidism, mold, and toxins are the two most common causes, which cause thyroid problems by increasing inflammation in the body. It is at this time that people have been prescribed Levothyroxine, the most common thyroid medication.

But the real problem which started this inflammation is never understood and the inflammation continues in these patients.

Our best understanding is that Hashimoto's disease is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetics is basically the blueprint for your body, which determines a lot of how it functions. In order to help your body's genetic structure to get rid of that triggering factor, we need to identify which environmental causes of hypothyroidism are causing your body to react.
