Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland is situated at the base of the throat. It controls our metabolism.

In hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid), symptoms include: anxiety and irritability, weight loss, enlarged thyroid, excess heat, hair loss, increased appetite, increased sweating, insomnia, palpitations and staring or bulging eyes.

In hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid), symptoms include: lack of energy, weight gain, cold intolerance, dizziness, fatigue and sleepiness, hair changes; hair may become thinner, dry and brittle, high cholesterol, constipation, menstrual problems, poor memory and concentration, skin changes; skin may feel course and dry, weakness and muscular aches and pains

A deficiency or excess of thyroid hormone can affect every cell within the body. A deficiency of thyroid hormone may be due to defective hormone synthesis or to lack of stimulation by the pituitary gland. Since thyroid hormones affect every cell in the body, a deficiency will usually result in a large number of signs and symptoms.

There are various ways to support the thyroid gland through intake of key nutrients and through supporting the whole body. At Nutrition Mission, we will work with you to support your thyroid gland and holistically to support your whole body.
