Hashimoto’s is an auto-immune condition that can cause hypothyroidism.
Frustrated by your hypothyroidism diagnosis and looking for answers?
Unlike ‘conventional’ medicine specialists, we don’t just treat the disease itself, but instead identify the underlying imbalances in the body that are causing the disease. i.e. the reasons why you thyroid isn’t working optimaly.
We work with nutrition, targeted supplements and lifestyle interventions such as sleep, movement, stress management, and supporting mental and emotional well-being to support your thyroid. It is possible to then see an improvement in levels of thyroid hormone.
If it hasn’t been done previously, we will likely do a full thyroid panel including TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies. You can read this article to understand why this is important. We base our understanding of thyroid function on optimal function ranges, and include other biomarkers, such as CRP (inflammation) and nutrient levels, in our assessment.
We may also recommend other appropriate testing, including gut microbiome and function testing.
We will spend the time with you to understand what you have been through and identify the underlying causes of hypothyroidism in your case (as everyone is different).
We will then treat these causes using nutrition, lifestyle change and targeted supplements.
