Greenville SC Hashimoto’s Care
Are you a low thyroid patient who also has Hashimoto’s disease? Are you looking for answers about the best care—support that can help you enjoy optimal health today and in the future? If so, consider working with a functional wellness practitioner who is trained to assess and assist Hashimoto’s and low thyroid patients with safe, natural, effective therapeutic support.
Many people are surprised to hear that what they was a ‘simple’ thyroid problem actually involves an autoimmune disease, but Hashimoto’s and thyroid problems are often linked. This disease, like thyroid problems, is a multifaceted condition. Many factors may contribute to your body’s autoimmune response. Although Hashimoto’s is associated with the attack and destruction of the thyroid gland by the patient’s immune system, this isn’t likely to be the only negative impact it has on your body.
Hashimoto’s is associated with many different types of health problems. Patients may experience low thyroid symptoms, or they may experience symptoms of an overactive thyroid—or both. They may also struggle with symptoms and have health conditions that involve the cardiovascular system, the reproductive system, the nervous system and the digestive system. Leaky gut syndrome, food allergies, adrenal fatigue, skin conditions, anxiety and depression and chronic pain or fatigue are some of the diverse symptoms associated with Hashimoto’s.
Unfortunately, care for Hashimoto’s disease is often limited in conventional medicine. Oftentimes, individuals are given medications to address symptoms. They may take thyroid medication for an underactive thyroid, medication for depression, pills for chronic pain and more drugs for sleep problems. Although medications sometimes help some people, side effects are often problematic. Some medications help temporarily, but symptoms return and may even intensify as the individual’s autoimmune disease worsens and progresses.
By contrast, functional wellness is a type of healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of the Hashimoto’s patient’s condition. What is causing you to feel so sick? What’s triggering the autoimmune response that’s primarily responsible for how awful you feel? Answers to these questions can make all the difference, because once the underlying cause of your condition is fully understood, it’s possible to help your body heal and recover optimal health.
As an individual with Hashimoto’s, you may benefit from nutritional support in the form of supplements, specific dietary changes, vital lifestyle adjustments and other types of non-invasive therapies. A functional wellness care provider can develop a customized plan of support that is designed to help you feel better as quickly as possible and to maintain your best possible health long term.
Functional wellness care providers rely on extensive testing and comprehensive information about your health history and symptoms in developing your care plan. You have a disease the practitioner is very familiar with, but the nature of the approach taken is always customized, as every individual is unique. You’ll benefit from an in-depth evaluation, personalized care and support, and long term solutions.
