Low Thyroid Function

Are you doing everything right and still waking up exhausted, having a hard time concentrating, lowering your cholesterol and can never finish those last few errands? You may have a thyroid issue.

Thyroid Conditions We Treat:

  • Primary hypothyroidism without autoimmune antibodies

  • Primary hyperthyroidism which is an overactive thyroid, making too much thyroid hormones.

  • Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by an autoimmune condition (Grave’s disease). Which is inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis) or due to thyroid nodules making too much thyroid hormones, T4 and T3, and positive antibodies.

    • Symptoms:

      • Enlarged thyroid gland

      • Insomnia

      • Headaches

      • Increased anxiety

      • excessive sweating

      • Heart palpitations

      • Nausea, diarrhea, increased or excessive acid reflux.

  • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis positive for autoimmune thyroid antibodies.

    • Symptoms:

      • Fatigue

      • Vitamin D deficiency

      • Anxiety

      • Disturbed sleep

      • Thinning hair

    • Causes:

      • Extreme stress

      • Breast implants

      • Smoking

      • Latent viruses in your system such as Epstein-Barr, Lyme disease, or other long-term viruses.

      • Increased intestinal permeability, decreased absorption of nutrients necessary for optimal thyroid function, or frequent GI distress.

  • Parasites can both trigger and potentially modulate autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s disease and Grave’s disease.
