Naturopathic Thyroid Treatment Options
Thyroid conditions are one of the common reasons that patients come to see naturopathic doctors. The thyroid is a gland located in your throat that plays a significant role in your energy and metabolism. When the thyroid functions well, the body can regulate your temperature, and your energy levels are normal. When the thyroid does not function accurately, it can wreak havoc on your energy levels, weight, and mood.Â
Propers diagnosis of what is causing your thyroid condition is critical when treating you. Conventional testing usually measures your TSH levels, and if it is in range, nothing else is done. This is not the case with naturopathic doctors. They often test a whole panel of thyroid markers, including your TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and more. Testing is the best way to get a complete picture of what is going on and get a more precise direction for treatment.
Naturopathic doctors have several tools to help patients deal with their thyroid conditions. Sometimes adding in thyroid hormones helps, and other times herbs, stress management, and diet changes can make a difference.
