Elevated TSH is often diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Before a doctor prescribes medication, see us for a Functional Assessment to determine if you are autoimmune.

Common Causes:

• Leaky Gut Syndrome: The tight junctions between the cells in the stomach lining separate and undigested food and other items get in the blood stream, causing an immune response.
• Obesity, Inflammation and Increased Cortisol: Women may suffer from PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Insulin control and a clean diet is critical here.

Options:

1. Begin medication, which may continue for years, until you develop a real problem with your thyroid gland. 
2. Contact us for a Functional Assessment to find out when, where and how your condition started, then learn lifestyle changes that will help your body heal.
