Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient thyroid hormones, leading to a slowing of metabolic processes throughout the body. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism and is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. These conditions can significantly impact energy, metabolism, mood, and overall health. In an integrative medicine model, thyroid dysfunction is viewed not simply as a lab abnormality, but as a reflection of broader imbalances in immune function, metabolism, inflammation, and whole-body physiology.

Rather than focusing solely on hormone replacement, an integrative approach combines conventional medical care with evidence-based complementary therapies to identify and address underlying contributors. These may include immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, gut health imbalances, nutrient deficiencies (such as iodine, selenium, and iron), stress-related adrenal dysfunction, and environmental triggers.

Symptoms can vary widely in severity and presentation, and often develop gradually over time.

Common Symptoms May Include:

Fatigue or low energy
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Cold intolerance
Brain fog or slowed thinking
Depression or low mood
Dry skin, hair thinning, or brittle nails
Constipation
Irregular menstrual cycles
