Thyroid Conditions - Can ANMC Help?
Natural Functional and Nutritional Support for Thyroid Imbalance
Here are some of the ways nutrition and functional medicine may help a client experiencing imbalanced thyroid:
Comprehensive Assessment: Our practitioners may use comprehensive assessments to evaluate the bioenergetic balance and/or optimal functioning of the whole system. This may include bioenergetic assessments or nutrient evaluations to evaluate hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, potential food sensitivities, and gut health.
Personalized Nutrition: ANMC practitioners may design a personalized nutrition plan that is tailored to the individual's needs and designed to support thyroid function. This may include specific nutrients well as foods that are anti-inflammatory and supportive of gut health.
Lifestyle Modifications: We may educate on lifestyle modifications that can support thyroid health, such as stress management, exercise, and sleep hygiene. They may also address underlying factors like environmental toxins and chronic infections that can impact thyroid function.
Nutritional Supplements: Our natural health practitioners may recommend nutritional supplements to support thyroid function. They may also recommend supplements to support gut health, like probiotics and digestive enzymes.
Functional medicine is an approach that seeks to identify and address the root cause of a problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. By taking a holistic approach to thyroid health, functional medicine practitioners can help individuals achieve optimal thyroid function and improve their overall health and well-being.
It is important to note that nutritionists can provide dietary recommendations to complement medical treatment but they cannot diagnose thyroid conditions or prescribe medication. Anyone with a suspected thyroid condition should seek medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
