Naturopathic Treatment For Thyroid Conditions
Are you cranky, irritable, or overly anxious, and can’t quite pinpoint why?
Does a full night’s sleep still leave you feeling exhausted?
Are you having difficulty thinking clearly?
If so, you may have a thyroid condition.
Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that lives in the front of your neck, in front of your windpipe and just above your collarbone.
It’s a small gland – the average healthy thyroid weighs just 25 grams. But it can have a big impact on your health.
Dr. Pat Nardini is a naturopathic doctor with a special interest in thyroid health.
If you’re dealing with a thyroid issue, Dr. Pat offers naturopathic solutions which may help.
What Does Your Thyroid Do?
Your thyroid is part of your body’s endocrine system. This is a system of organs and glands which all secrete hormones into your bloodstream.
Your body uses hormones to send signals to different areas. This tells them how they should operate.
In your thyroid’s case, its job is to release hormones to regulate your:
- Metabolism
- Heart rate
- Digestion
- Body temperature
- Mood
- Bone health
- Brain development (in children)
These functions depend on your thyroid releasing the correct amount of hormone.
If there’s an imbalance – your thyroid releasing either too much or too little hormone – it can lead to health problems.
