Thyroid and adrenal disorders

It is estimated that 28 million Americans suffer from thyroid disease, but there are many more, predominantly women, who may have the disease without even knowing it.

Most forms of thyroid disease, with Hashimoto's and Graves' diseases being most common, are caused by autoimmunity, wherein the body's immune system starts attacking its own cells, often causing headaches, fatigue, depression, forgetfulness, and poor concentration.

According to conventional medicine, autoimmune diseases are chronic and usually permanent, but the integrative medicine approach aims to arrest the autoimmune process and uncover its root causes, which frequently stem from nutritional imbalances, abnormal gut flora, environmental toxins, chronic infections, and chronic stress. Therefore, as with most chronic conditions, it's important to assess the overall status of the major body systems as they are interrelated, and dysfunction in one may adversely affect another.

This comprehensive integrative medicine approach undertakes a clinical and laboratory evaluation to help identify and correct the underlying issue that has led to the development of thyroid disease and to support and reestablish normal thyroid function status.
