Thyroid

Naturopathic medicine has so much to offer people challenged with an underactive, low thyroid or those with thyroid autoimmunity like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The first step is comprehensive testing. When needed, Dr. Heinitz supports thyroid health through dietary recommendations, nutritional supplements, stress reduction, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, and thyroid hormone prescriptions to promote optimal thyroid function and overall well-being.

 

An underactive thyroid, also known as hypothyroidism, is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This can lead to various symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and dry skin.

Thyroid autoimmunity, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

Is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland. This can also lead to an underactive thyroid.

 

Dr. Heinitz may recommend a variety of natural therapies to support thyroid health, including dietary recommendations, nutritional supplements, stress reduction, herbal medicine and lifestyle modifications.

 

Thyroid hormone prescriptions: In some cases, Dr. Heinitz may recommend thyroid hormone prescriptions when laboratory tests show a deficiency of thyroid hormone production.

 

The first step in addressing thyroid health is comprehensive testing. Dr. Heinitz will order a full thyroid panel to assess thyroid function and look for any underlying conditions contributing to thyroid problems.

Once the underlying causes of thyroid problems have been addressed, she can then develop a personalized treatment plan to support thyroid health and overall well-being.
