Thyroid Health
At Willow London Naturopathic & IV Clinic, we recognize that thyroid health is essential for regulating your metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. Thyroid disorders can significantly impact your life, causing fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances. Our Naturopathic Doctors listen to your concerns, conduct thorough evaluations, and create customized treatment plans to restore your thyroid health and improve your quality of life.
Common Thyroid Conditions We Treat
Hypothyroidism:
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is under active and does not produce enough thyroid hormones. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression. Our naturopathic approach includes comprehensive testing, dietary changes, and natural therapies to support thyroid function.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism. Our approach involves identifying triggers, supporting the immune system, and implementing dietary and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms.
Hyperthyroidism:
Hyperthyroidism is characterized by an overactive thyroid gland that produces excess thyroid hormones. Symptoms include weight loss, anxiety, tremors, and palpitations. We provide a holistic treatment plan, including stress management, dietary modifications, and herbal remedies to balance thyroid hormone levels.
Graves’ Disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism. Symptoms include weight loss, bulging eyes, and irritability. We offer natural treatments to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support overall thyroid health.
Root Causes of Thyroid Disorders
Our naturopathic doctors focus on uncovering the underlying causes of thyroid disorders, such as:
Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease can trigger thyroid dysfunction.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iodine, selenium, and zinc can impair thyroid function.
Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can disrupt thyroid hormone production.
Toxin Exposure: Environmental toxins can negatively impact thyroid health.
Hormonal Imbalances: Imbalances in other hormones can affect thyroid function.
01
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
We start with thorough testing to get a clear picture of your hormonal health. A thyroid panel is a blood test for all the necessary hormones and antibodies. We review these results in detail so you can be sure you understand what is optimal and how your hormones connect to your symptoms.
02
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on your test results and health history, we create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include nutrition + lifestyle counselling, supplements + herbs, natural desiccated thyroid prescription, and IVs. We will track success in our follow ups based on how you're feeling and sometimes by retesting specific levels. If you are already on Synthroid/ Levothyroxine there is adjunctive care we can offer to further improve your labs and symptoms.
