Posted by Rosalie Galvez on December 21st, 2020

These issues can be detected by symptoms such as hypertension, cognitive decline, coronary illness and weight gain. It is believed by most doctors that permanent thyroid is non treatable               

At our state of the art Prime Health Denver, we deal with patients to figure out how to fix hypothyroidism for all time — and without medicine! At the point when patients look for our assistance, we have created an individual treatment plan that is both harmless to your body's normal cycles and are suitable to your unique needs.

Our Natural Plan to Cure Thyroid 

Numerous specialists start hypothyroidism treatment by checking low thyroid invigorating hormone levels. (TSH is created by tan organ called the pituitary organ.) However, after dealing with many patients, we've discovered that doesn't provide us a full image of the thyroid situation.

Whenever a patient visits us with adverse effects of hypothyroidism, the main thing we search for is Hashimoto's malady. Hashimoto's ailment is an immune system condition that is solely responsible for around 90% of hypothyroidism cases.

Reasons for Hashimoto's vary from person to person, So we control blood tests, pee tests, as well as disposal diets to comprehend your individual diagnosis. Our experience has instructed us that identifying and fixing the underlying reason of Hashimoto's is the manner by which to fix hypothyroidism for once and all — it likewise implies every patient gets a custom fitted treatment plan, and same medicines don't work for all individuals.

While distinguishing the reason for Hashimoto's ailment, we take a gander at the following six red flags:

1. Imbalance in hormones

Underactive thyroid can be activated by imbalance in hormones

2. Food sensitivity

Imbalance in hormones can be caused by food allergens, these can even cause hypothyroidism. The increasing risk of auto-immune disease have been associated with Celiac diseases i.e. Gluten Allergies. There can be other less noticeable food sensitivities but may be just as noteworthy.

3. Leaky gut

Chronically inflamed intestines may allow for less toxins to exit from gut and enter the blood because of the tight junctions. Leaky can cause hypothyroidism and is also a symptom of it, it is very closely related to five other reasons of hypothyroidism,

4. Infections  

Underactive thyroid may be activated from tick borne infections e.g. Lyme disease or other viral infections e.g. Epstein-Barr

5. Nutrient deficiency

Most commonly the lack of iodine from diet can cause hypothyroidism. Deficiency of required nutrients from diet can cause a lot more health issues other than hypothyroidism. This can be treated by small changes in diet.

6. Toxin exposure

Exposure to toxins can cause a lot of issue in thyroids. Harmful toxins such as mold toxins, exposure to heavy metals, pesticides and industrial chemicals can cause a lot of issues in thyroid glands.

Birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy and cancer in thyroid may be some other reasons of hyperthyroidism.

Natural Cures

For permanent cure of hypothyroidism, we detect the underlying main cause of the disease. The cause is detected by some initial tests and assessments

Most of the times, the thyroid issues can be dissolved by treating the root cause of the Hashimoto’s disease, this is true for the 90% of hypothyroidism cases

The cure for patients with diagnosed with hypothyroidism is not hard. There are a few lifestyle changes which are required and not at all hard to maintain. The diet plan is strict and the supplements are rather expensive but the natural cures have no side effects and are non-invasive

1. Hypothyroidism Diet

With the patients that have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis where hypothyroidism is caused by immune system conditions the first course of action we take is to recommend our patients a complete diet plant. This diet plan is called autoimmune Paleo diet i.e. AIP. AIP diet plan is quite similar to Whole30 diet plan. The strict diet plan is followed for the first six months (or lesser, varying according with patients). During this period the patient’s unique sensitivities and allergies are noted.

2. Best Natural Supplements for Hypothyroidism

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism can be cured permanently by using dietary supplements. For instance if the leaky gut is the cause of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis it can be treated by a such a supplement that encourages gut’s health and recovery, this would ultimately cure the Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Although before starting any new diet plan for hypothyroidism treatment proper medical advice must be taken before starting because each mentioned supplement is only appropriate for certain conditions and cases

Following are some good supplements

Iodine

Iodine is naturally found in seafood, since our bodies cannot produce this mineral a certain amount of this in our diets is necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies. This mineral is required by our body to produce thyroid hormones. Deficiency of iodine in body is the common reason of goiters and thyroid issues. This deficiency can be removed by either taking supplements or by changing the diet to include more iodine intake.

Iodine is only needed up to a certain amount in our bodies taking excessive dosage of iodine can actually increase the risk of thyroid issues as it increases the production of antibodies sent to the thyroid gland. Therefore it is recommended to not take more than the medically suggested 150 mcg of dosage per day

Probiotics

These are the good bacteria that is required by the body to function properly. The usage of antibiotic medicines can remove both the good and the bad bacteria form the gut, so by replenishing the good bacteria after medication the performance of these organs can be mad better. Recent scientific researches show that these probiotics are useful in treating leaky guts as these work with the proteins to support the tight junctions and block the toxins from exiting the guts and entering the blood stream.

Selenium

This nutrient is found in meats, eggs and fish. This can also be taken as a supplement. According to 2010 meta-analysis, it was found by the researcher that the addition of selenium to a normal treatment of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, enhanced the biomarkers. Selenium can also lighten up the consumers mood and mindset.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D was discovered in 1913. Our bodies produce most of the vitamin D by exposure to sunlight. Only a few food contain this nutrient naturally. This may also be taken in the form of supplement.

According to a study conducted in 2018 it was found out that healthy thyroids benefitted from vitamin D and similarly lack of this nutrient causes issues such as hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease

Chaste berry

This nutrient is mostly used to cure the imbalance of hormones in females, for instance menopause symptoms, PMS symptoms and even infertility sometimes.

Chaste berry has some uncommon side effects such as dry mouth. This nutrient is a well-tolerated way of restoring the balance in female hormones which as a result cures Hashimoto’s disease.

Glutathione

This nutrient is most abundant in human body. This is an antioxidant. Nevertheless, the abundance of these nutrients may be lowered because of poor diet, stress or exposure to toxins from the environment.

The lower levels of glutathione can increase the risk of thyroid issues as Oxidative stress can intensify the hypothyroidism.

Curcumin

This is a bioactive ingredient which is found in turmeric. Curcumin provides a lot of benefits to the health of the user which also includes the prevention of autoimmune diseases.

Much similar to glutathione, this nutrient is also an antioxidant. Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory and can be used to cure/prevent Hashimoto’s disease.

3. Stress and Hypothyroidism

A major factor which interrupts normal thyroid function is ‘Stress’. So therefore it is important to relieve stress in everyday life for a healthier thyroid and a good balance in your hormones. This can also reverse the hypothyroidism if it had occurred in the first place

A simple technique to relieve stress is through mediation. Mediation can alleviate stress and remove the symptoms of the hypothyroidism.

Another major factor that reduces stress, is a healthy sleep cycle. It is therefore important to maintain a healthy cycle of 8 good hours of sleep. It is important to improve the quality of sleep along with the hours. A good way to do that is to exercise daily. Another way is to cut off the usage of all blue light emitting screens, therefore mobiles, laptop and other electronics which emit this blue light must be avoided on hour before sleeping. This blue light mimic sunlight and forces the brain into thinking that it is time to keep awake, therefore it is necessary to avoid this. Another activity that helps to relax is yoga, patient can partake in yoga to relieve stress.
