Hypothyroidism

Using nutrition, acupuncture and herbs to balance & improve thyroid function

​What is Hypothryoidism

​One of the most common conditions women face without even knowing it is hypothyroidism (hyperthyroidism is also a condition seen in men, just not as commonly).  If you are experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy, it's good to have your thyroid levels checked in order to evaluate your thyroid function.  A Medical Doctor or Naturopathic Doctor can measure your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and T4/T3 (thyroid hormone) levels to determine your thyroid function. 

Common Symptoms:

  • Weight gain
  • Fatigue
  • Decreased Appetite
  • Cold intolerance
  • Dry skin, Dry Hair and Hair Loss
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Fullness in throat

​How Can Dr. Nicole Help?

A Naturopathic Doctor is trained to identify the symptoms of hypothyroidism, and can come up with a lifestyle program to help balance the function of your thyroid and test other endocrine organs that may be out of balance (such as adrenal glands and lymphatic system).  Also, Dr. Nicole can investigate what physical or emotional causes may be affecting your thyroid function.  Below are hypothyroidism natural treatments:
  • Acupuncture - stimulates flow of energy in the body and aids circulation to help stimulate production of hormones
  • Homeopathy
  • Nutritional counseling - addition of B vitamins, Vitamins C and E, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Iron, Tyrosine
  • Herbal Medicine - herbs to stimulate the thyroid and regulate blood glucose levels
  • Hydrotherapy - to increase circulation
