Hypothyroidism is a common condition among men and women in the west. It occurs when the thyroid is underactive and not performing as well as it should, either due to a natural decline in activity or auto-immune factors.
The most common symptoms that occur as a result are weight gain, intolerance to cold, fatigue, brain fog, dry skin, constipation, and changes in mood. Bloodwork will often show high TSH, low T4/T3, and/or high thyroid antibodies (if caused by an auto-immune disease).
The most common conventional approach to hypothyroidism is a thyroid hormone medication known as levothyroxine. While this can be a great option to regulate the thyroid, it does not always solve all of the issues. Many men and women continue to feel like they are not themselves and that something is still missing from their treatment.
Naturopathic medicine can provide great benefit for hypothyroidism as it provides a holistic approach to the problem. We use food, lifestyle, and natural vitamins/herbs to help improve quality of life and remove barrier to healing.
