NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR THYROID HEALTH
Transform Your Thyroid Health: Expert Naturopathic Thyroid Specialist in Brisbane
Are you noticing a dip in your motivation and feeling more tired lately? Have you been puzzled by unexpected hair loss? Are those extra kilo’s just not budging no matter what you've tried? Maybe you've also been dealing with irregular periods, constipation, mood swings, or are facing challenges with fertility and conception?
If you're experiencing these symptoms, it might be a good idea to consider a closer evaluation of your thyroid health.
​
The thyroid gland, which has a distinctive butterfly shape, is situated in the front of your neck. It serves as the primary regulator of your metabolism and plays a crucial role in orchestrating a wide range of functions within your body. These roles include regulation of mood, metabolic rate, digestive processes, reproductive functions, as well as energy and temperature control.
Maintaining an optimal balance of thyroid hormones is imperative for achieving and sustaining overall health and wellness. When it's not performing at its best, it can have a noticeable and undesirable effects on our overall well-being.
What type of Thyroid Condition could you have?
Thyroid disorders typically fall into these categories:
-
Hypothyroidism: This condition is characterised by an underactive thyroid gland, leading to reduced production of thyroid hormone, which can result in low energy levels and a slower metabolism.
-
Hyperthyroidism: In this case, the thyroid becomes overactive, producing excessive amounts of thyroid hormone, which can lead to an increased metabolism and symptoms such as a rapid heart rate and unintended weight loss.
-
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: This is an autoimmune condition that results in an underactive thyroid and presents with many of the same symptoms as hypothyroidism.
-
Graves' Disease: Another autoimmune condition, Graves' disease causes an overactive thyroid and presents with many of the same symptoms as hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid issues are actually quite common, affecting up to 10% of women. However, many cases go undiagnosed for years. Your doctor may run some tests to see how the gland is functioning, however it's important to note that relying solely on the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) or Thyroid Hormone (T4) test isn't always sufficient to fully comprehend your thyroid's health and what factors might be affecting its function.
Our naturopathic thyroid specialist is ready to help you understand your test results and arrange comprehensive thyroid function tests where necessary, ensuring a thorough grasp of the potential connection between your thyroid health and your current symptoms.
