Understanding the potential causes of hypothyroidism can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing hypothyroidism, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
Hypothyroidism is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It is an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack the thyroid, lessening your thyroid function
Some medications like Amioderone, lithium and beta blockers can interfere with the function of the thyroid.
If your body doesn’t have enough iodine, it can develop hypothyroidism. The amount of iodine your body needs is very small for optimal thyroid function.
After a viral illness or pregnancy, the thyroid gland can become inflamed.
WHAT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE THERAPIES ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM?
Functional medicine approaches to people with hypothyroidism are lifestyle and nutritional supplement oriented.
The Energy Remedy offers different types of Therapy, each serving a different purpose. Some of the solutions you may be recommended include:
Cardiovascular exercise and some level of weight training can improve your physical health, mental health, reduce your risk of chronic diseases, and help balance your mental health.
Stress is a common cause of illnesses in the body. Learning techniques for stress management can help restore your health.
Nutritional deficiencies and food intolerances can cause a variety of problems. Improving your diet and eliminating certain foods can alleviate those conditions. This is a classic functional medicine idea.
Improper sleep can cause problems in the body and mind that impact your health. Without restful and regenerative sleep it’s very difficult to heal from any health condition. Since the brain is involved with thyroid hormone production, it needs restful and regenerative sleep to signal the thyroid properly.
While hypothyroidism due to autoimmunity can’t be cured, it’s possible to manage the condition so that it causes no noticeable effects on the patient.
Unhealthy lifestyles with improper eating leading to gut issues and a lack of exercise can cause hypothyroidism. Additionally, high stress can cause hypothyroidism to manifest.
Some of the warning signs of hypothyroidism include unexplained weight loss or weight gain, fatigue, depression, hair loss, and brain fog.
Making certain lifestyle adjustments and taking supplements to help balance hormone levels are the two typical ways for a person to manage their hypothyroidism.
