Thyroid

The thyroid is a small gland found on the front part of the lower neck.  This gland produces thyroid hormones known as triidothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4).  There are several health conditions involving the thyroid gland.  Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce adequate amount of thyroid hormone.  Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease where the thyroid gland cannot produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone because of an autoimmune process attacking the thyroid gland.  When the thyroid overproduces hormone, the condition is called hyperthyroidism.  Grave’s disease is an autoimmune conditions commonly responsible for causing hyperthyroidism.  

At Boulder Natural Health, our naturopathic approach to thyroid conditions is to first investigate the underlying cause of the problem.  We use conventional lab testing measuring TSH, T4, T3, anti-TPO, anti-TG.  Our treatments include both conventional and natural thyroid support.  Naturopathic treatment plans include dietary and nutritional recommendations that are specific to helping to improve thyroid health, thyroid supportive nutrients, herbs and other supplements that can help support normal functioning of the thyroid gland.
