Managing Hypothyroidism: A Holistic Approach

For example, a client with long-standing thyroid issues was treated with thyroid hormones, which helped to some extent. However, the client also suffered from frequent sinusitis that was not helped by antibiotics.

Further investigation revealed that most cases of long-standing sinusitis are caused by a fungus, and therefore, antifungal medication was prescribed, which decreased the amount of fungus in the client’s body.

The client was also found to repress emotions, leading to stress, which was addressed. He was also placed on a supplement that helped him manage his depressive tendencies. We shall see how he does with these interventions.

When a person has low thyroid hormone levels, taking thyroid hormones may improve their condition. However, this gentleman also had issues with yeast in his sinuses, repressed emotions, and depressive tendencies.

When he took an antifungal, he felt better and after some time, he was able to lower how often he took his antifungal medication.

In addition, he was treated with a supplement to increase serotonin, which is the neurotransmitter that makes a person feel content. When he took the appropriate supplement for him, his mood improved and his mood was not affected by cloudy days which used to cause him sadness.

It’s worth noting that how the body is working affects the thyroid gland. Stressful periods in a person’s life can make the thyroid gland less efficient. Other issues in the body can also affect the thyroid, which should be addressed. An integrative or functional doctor can help identify any underlying issues contributing to thyroid problems and provide tailored treatment.
