Are You a Prisoner to your Thyroid Issues?

Are you taking medications, told your thyroid levels are normal but you still have all the symptoms of low thyroid. If you have been feeling tired and depressed, struggling to lose weight, experiencing heavy or irregular periods, having problems finishing tasks, or feeling like your life is out of control, your thyroid still may be to blame.

Doctors Get It Wrong All The Time, Because it's Not Just a Thyroid Problem. It's A whole Body Problem.

Standard medical blood testing and treatments for the thyroid only tells us part of the story. Your thyroid is interconnected with your other systems, organs and glands of your body.  It is critical to understand how your immune system, your other hormones (especially cortisol), inflammation, your digestive system and so much more play a role in how your thyroid functions and how you feel.

If you are seeking freedom from thyroid issues, it’s crucial to find a practitioner who goes beyond basic lab test work and conventional drug therapies to treat thyroid function. At Integrative Wellness Centers, we dig deep to find the true cause of your imbalanced thyroid and attack those issues at the source.

The Top 4 Signs It May Be Your Thyroid

If any of the following symptoms are affecting you – even if you are on thyroid medication or your blood tests are “normal” – you may be suffering from low thyroid function:

1. 1. You are exercising regularly and following a strict diet without seeing weight loss results. Exercise alone doesn’t cause weight loss. Exercising regularly boosts your metabolism and helps to remove fat instead of storing it. Your thyroid hormone is responsible for flushing out fat. If your thyroid is unbalanced, exercise just won’t work to help lose weight. If you are making major strides to lose weight and cannot seem to shed the pounds, an underactive thyroid may be the culprit.
2. 2. Thyroid imbalances, commonly seen with adrenal gland imbalances, are a common cause of fatigue. The thyroid gland and adrenal gland work together to support your energy levels. Since these imbalances are difficult to pinpoint with traditional testing methods, they often go undiagnosed. At Integrative Wellness Centers, our biotesting methods successfully uncover unbalanced thyroid and adrenal gland issues to uncover the root cause of your illness.
3. 3. The thyroid is responsible for boosting your body with energy levels through overall hormone dispersal. Low thyroid hormones lead to overall low energy. This is why thyroid patients experience inactivity, weight gain, depression, brain fog, and an inability to complete simple tasks. When your thyroid hormone levels are suffering, you suffer as a whole.
4. 4. There are other seemingly unrelated signs our bodies give us when our thyroid is under-performing. They include: poor digestion/constipation, sinus or allergy problems, heavy menstrual periods, headaches/migraines, low body temperature, decreased libido, heart palpitations, blood sugar spikes, aches/pains, and even thinning hair, dry skin and brittle nails.

If you believe you have an underactive thyroid, there is hope! We at Integrative Wellness Centers go beyond conventional medicine to pinpoint and treat the underlying health issues that are causing your unbalanced thyroid. With proper guidance and counseling, we can help you safely and naturally return to a path of overall health and wellness. You deserve better care.
