Thyroid Optimization

It’s estimated that 20 million individuals in the U.S. have some type of thyroid condition.

Functional medicine is a unique and effective way to treat thyroid problems. Instead of just treating your symptoms of thyroid distress, it aims to find the root cause of the problem.

What Is Low Thyroid?

Low thyroid, medically known as hypothyroidism, occurs when your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. These hormones are essential for regulating your metabolism, energy production, and overall well-being. When thyroid levels are imbalanced, it can lead to a range of distressing symptoms.

Symptoms of Low Thyroid

• Fatigue and lethargy
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Cold sensitivity
• Dry skin and hair
• Depression and mood swings
• Muscle weakness
• Memory and cognitive issues
• Brain Fog

We believe in addressing the root causes of health issues and take a comprehensive approach to low thyroid, considering various factors that may contribute to your condition, including:

• Nutrient Deficiencies: We assess your nutritional status to identify deficiencies that may affect your thyroid function.
• Autoimmune Conditions: Conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can lead to low thyroid. We investigate and provide strategies to manage autoimmune issues.
• Environmental Influences: We consider how toxins and environmental factors may impact your thyroid health.

Our experienced team conducts a thorough assessment to understand your unique health profile. This evaluation includes:

• Thyroid Function Tests: We go beyond standard tests to get a complete picture of your thyroid health.

• Dietary Adjustments: Nutrition plays a vital role in thyroid health. We provide dietary recommendations to support your thyroid.
• Supplements: If necessary, we prescribe supplements to address nutrient deficiencies.
• Lifestyle Modifications: We offer guidance on lifestyle changes that can promote thyroid balance
