Hypothyroidism Treatments NY - Dr. Robert Lichtenstein DC, CNS

Immune system malfunctions reveal that the body is not getting the support needed to stay balanced. To restore the system, the individual must change their diet and lifestyle. A vital change is diet modifications that focus on reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system to allow every system in the body to operate more effectively. In addition, adding targeted supplements helps meet more nutritional needs that the average diet may not offer. Using these forms of hypothyroidism remedies is a natural and safe solution.

Dr. Robert Lichtenstein developed a carefully designed supplement and nutritional plan for his own needs when fighting stage 4 cancer. He overcame the disease twice by understanding how nutrition plays a role in health and immune system function. Dr. Lichtenstein is a Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist and a Chiropractor. He is also proof of the effectiveness of his plan. His current goal is to share his information with his patients to allow them to regain control over their health management.

Traditional medical treatments lessen the effects of an underactive thyroid, but they cannot cure the condition. People on medication for the ailment will typically remain on it for life. Most will need repeated visits to keep the dosages adjusted for their needs. The long-term side effects of the medication used for this purpose can include heart problems, nervousness, sleep disorders, osteoporosis, and more.

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism affects women more often than men, but it is also possible for infants of either gender to experience the condition. Parents that notice consistent issues with their children, like poor feeding habits, bloated bellies, and constipation, should speak with their doctor about their concerns. Adults with hypothyroidism may experience:

• Feeling cold all the time
• Fatigue
• Dry skin
• Forgetfulness
• Depression
• Constipation
• Changes in the menstrual cycle
• Dry hair
• Hair loss
  

• Higher than usual cholesterol readings
• Stiff, swollen, and sore joints
• Muscle weakness
• Puffy face
• Hoarse voice
• Slowed heart rate
• Goiter (swollen thyroid gland)
• Inability to lose weight
• Unexplained weight gain
  

Causes of Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism often begins because of the autoimmune disorder Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It is a condition that causes thyroid inflammation. Women are more likely to develop hypothyroidism than men, and women who were recently pregnant and those over age 60 are more at risk. A family history of thyroid or autoimmune disorders makes it more likely for people to develop hypothyroidism. Other potential causes include:

• Prior radiation therapy to the neck area
• Previously receiving radiation therapy to the thyroid for hyperthyroidism
• Side effects of certain medications
• Previous thyroid surgery
• Insufficient iodine in the diet
• Damage or illness with the pituitary gland
• Disorders of the hypothalamus
  

Potential Risks of Leaving Hypothyroidism Untreated

Hypothyroidism treatment is a necessity because it will only worsen if left unmanaged. Many complications can arise if the thyroid remains underactive. Some of these concerns include:

• Increase in balance problems
• Goiter development that potentially reduces the ability to swallow
• Increase in bad cholesterol that causes heart disease
• Infertility
• Decreased memory and concentration
• Depression
• Obesity despite a reduced appetite
• Infertility
• Increase in joint and muscle pain
• Increased risk of tendonitis
• Peripheral neuropathy (tingling, pain, and numbness in limbs)
• Mental development issues in the fetus of pregnant women
• Myxedema – a condition that can cause loss of consciousness, coma, and death
