When it’s not functioning properly, you’re likely to notice symptoms such as sensitivity to heat or cold, changes in your weight, sleeping issues and changes in your overall mood. If you believe your thyroid is giving you trouble, it’s important to have it checked before greater complications arise.

The Role Of Your Thyroid
Progesterone deficiency or estrogen dominance is common in people with thyroid disorders, so supplementing your body with bioidentical progesterone may help bring your body back into balance.
Other hormone-related conditions may be affecting your endocrine system and thyroid. We will help you find the underlying cause of your symptoms and together, we will customize a treatment plan for your specific needs.
What Causes Hyperthyroidism?
When your thyroid produces excess T3 and T4, the resulting condition is called hyperthyroidism. Like hypothyroidism, one of the most common causes is an autoimmune disease such as Graves’ Disease, a hereditary condition that causes the body to produce antibodies called thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin. Illnesses such as these can prompt the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormone than is healthy for your body.
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
- An Enlarged Thyroid (Goiter)
- Anxiety or Nervousness
- Frequent Bowel Movements
- Insomnia
- Irregular Heart Beat or Palpitations
- Menstrual Cycle Fluctuations
- Mood Swings
- Sensitivity to Heat
- Sudden Weight Loss
- Tremors
What is Hypothyroidism?
When your thyroid is unable to produce enough thyroid hormone, the resulting condition is called hypothyroidism. Causes of hypothyroidism range from iodine deficiency, radiation therapy (especially around the neck), pituitary gland damage and hypothalamus disorders. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in which your body produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland and cause it to become inflamed.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
- Chronic Fatigue
- Constipation
- Decreased Libido
- Dry Skin
- Hair Loss
- Joint and Muscle Pain
- Menstrual Cycle Fluctuations
- Sensitivity To Cold
- Swelling Of The Thyroid (Goiter)
- Weight Gain or Difficulty Losing Weight
