Thyroid Health
Thyroid Health
Our thyroid gland is an often underappreciated and misunderstood yet crucial part of our body. It is essential for driving our energy and metabolism, and when it’s not working optimally, can lead to fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, hair loss amongst many other symptoms.
We often see women with diagnosed and undiagnosed thyroid function issues in clinic and symptoms can be confused with typical perimenopausal symptoms, so it can often be missed, or at least not fully addressed.
We also see a prevalence of women being diagnosed at this time of life as the hormone shifts of menopause occur, and in particular cases of Hashimoto’s which is an autoimmune condition that attacks the thyroid gland.
How We Can Help You
We can help you support your thyroid function by assessing the balance of key vitamins and minerals and by optimising your immune system, through diet and lifestyle changes. We zoom out to take a holistic view of what might be going on and aim to pinpoint the root causes of your symptoms.
We then work with you to create a fully customised care plan that will include nutrition and lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplements where appropriate. If we feel that testing could help us pinpoint underlying imbalances and root causes, we’ll recommend those too.
