As experienced naturopathic doctors in San Francisco, well-versed in therapeutic nutrition and botanical medicine, we conduct tests targeting specific biomarkers to pinpoint the root cause of your thyroid imbalance. After our comprehensive consultation and initial testing, we’ll guide you on a customized plan to help you heal.
A balanced diet, rich in iodine and protein and limited in alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, can be instrumental since dietary habits significantly impact thyroid regulation.
Natural Treatments for Hypothyroidism
Conventional medical treatments for hypothyroidism involve daily intake of synthetic thyroid hormones like levothyroxine (T4), liothyronine (T3), or natural desiccated thyroid (a combination of T4 and T3) to balance out the deficient levels. This method proves beneficial for many, but some may need more than simply supplementing with thyroid hormone to tackle the root of the problem. Some experience fluctuating symptoms as they navigate the ideal dosage. Additionally, some don’t absorb or react well to the thyroid hormone treatment.
For hypothyroidism, we test for microbiome imbalances to identify potential autoimmune issues. We then introduce nutritional solutions such as probiotics and a diet low in carbs, sugar, and starch. Since our microbiome plays a pivotal role in boosting immunity, foods beneficial for a thriving microbiome are advised if autoimmune diseases are suspected.
Our naturopathic doctors assess for prevalent nutrient shortfalls linked to hypothyroidism and provide supplements as required.
- Vitamin B-12 plays a pivotal role in thyroid generation. It enhances cellular receptivity to thyroid hormones and augments energy creation within cells, alleviating fatigue and other hypothyroidism-related symptoms.
- Selenium facilitates optimal thyroid production and metabolism. Research indicates it can decrease thyroid antibody counts in individuals with Hashimoto's.
- Zinc aids in refining thyroid function and hormone balance. Research demonstrates its positive impact on thyroid activity, particularly in females who are overweight.
Our approach is holistic. Instead of merely masking symptoms, we aim to target the underlying issues, resulting in symptom alleviation.
