Thyroid Health

 Diet and Lifestyle Changes

• Nutrient-Rich Diet: Incorporate foods rich in iodine, selenium, and zinc, such as seaweed, Brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds. These nutrients are vital for thyroid hormone production.
• Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Reduce inflammation by consuming a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avoid processed foods, sugar, and gluten, which can exacerbate autoimmune conditions.
• Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises. Lowering stress levels can improve adrenal and thyroid function.
• Regular Exercise: Engage in moderate physical activity to boost metabolism and support hormonal balance.
• Gut Health: Support your gut with probiotics and a high-fiber diet to reduce inflammation and improve overall thyroid health.

2. Natural Thyroid Medications

At Serenity Health Care Center, we offer a range of natural thyroid medications that can be tailored to your specific needs:

• Armour & NP Thyroid: These natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medications are derived from porcine thyroid glands and contain both T4 and T3 hormones, providing a more balanced approach to thyroid hormone replacement.
• Compounded Thyroid Medications: For individuals who need a customized dosage or have sensitivities to fillers in commercial medications, we offer compounded thyroid medications. These are tailored specifically to your body’s needs, ensuring optimal absorption and effectiveness.

3. Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Autoimmune Thyroid Conditions

For patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, we utilize Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN). LDN helps to modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of autoimmune attacks on the thyroid gland. This therapy is a powerful tool in managing Hashimoto’s and improving overall thyroid function.
