🦋 Understanding Hashimoto's Disease: A Key to Hypothyroidism Management 🦋

Hashimoto’s Disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

The problem is that not all doctors will test to confirm whether you have Hashimoto’s. Instead, they’ll only treat hypothyroidism but won’t address the underlying cause.

This can temporarily relieve your symptoms, but it doesn't address the ongoing damage to your thyroid gland.

What is Hashimoto’s Disease? It’s an autoimmune disorder that causes an underactive thyroid due to the immune system mistakenly attacking the thyroid gland.

This can go undetected if only standard thyroid tests (TSH and T4 levels) are conducted, missing crucial antibody indicators.

Causes of Hashimoto’s can vary, including food sensitivities, gut health issues, infections, toxins, and chronic stress. Early detection and action can significantly impact the progression of hypothyroidism.

At Wonderfully Made Functional Medicine, Dr. Wood emphasizes the importance of a full thyroid panel to accurately diagnose and treat thyroid issues.

Our approach goes beyond just treating symptoms. We aim to address the root cause of the disorder for long-term health improvements.

Noticing mood swings, irritability, or just feeling off? It might be time to check in on your hormones.

Hormones are like your body's messengers, but when they're out of balance, they can mess with your mind, too. Here's a quick rundown:

Cortisol keeps you sharp during stress, but too much can lead to anxiety and sleepless nights.

Thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) manage your energy, but imbalance can swing you into depression or anxiety.

Estrogen keeps your mood steady, but when it's on a rollercoaster, so is your mood.

Progesterone is your natural relaxer, but low levels can leave you anxious and moody.

Testosterone influences mood and motivation; too little can lead to feeling down and out.

But don't worry, achieving balance is possible!

With a blend of science and personalized care, we're here to help you feel like yourself again.

Through comprehensive assessments, advanced testing, and tailored treatment plans, we're committed to helping you find your balance and boost your mental health.

Remember, it's not just in your head; it could be in your hormones. Let's tackle it together!

It's the holiday season again — so sleep can be a luxury, particularly with all the activities, late-night present-wrapping, and stress.

But sleep is essential to keep all that holiday stress at bay. And for women, especially as we age, sleep problems can often come from more than just a busy schedule. Your hormone levels can be directly causing sleep issues.

THE SLEEP-HORMONE CONNECTION 💤

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, hormones like estrogen and progesterone naturally decrease. And that can significantly affect sleep.

Plus, it's not just about sleep. These hormonal shifts can disrupt metabolic and immune functions, mental health, and physical well-being.

WHAT SLEEP DEPRIVATION DOES 🛌

Lack of quality sleep isn't just about feeling tired. It can lead to irritability, memory issues, and more serious cognitive challenges.

And sleep medications may not be the best solution. They often don't let our bodies enter the crucial REM sleep stage, where much of the body's healing occurs.

THE POWER OF PROGESTERONE 🌿

Did you know that progesterone is sometimes called "Nature’s Va**um?" That's because it promotes calmness and relaxation. So, when your progesterone balance is low, it can directly affect your sleep.

When we balance progesterone, estrogen, and other hormones, it can dramatically improve your sleep.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP 🌼

We know you may not have time to have your hormone levels checked during the holidays, so try these at-home tips:

First, try to set up a consistent sleep schedule. It can work wonders in setting your body's natural rhythm. We know this can be tough during the holidays — but do your best!

Also, reduce blue light exposure from screens before bedtime. And create a restful sleep environment by keeping the room dark, cool, and quiet.

Also, moderation can be helpful, even during the holidays: limit caffeine and alcohol intake, particularly in the evenings, and try to eat a diet low in processed foods. But don't worry if you aren't eating and drinking "perfectly" — it's not about the one-off Christmas goodies; it's about consistent behaviors.

WE WISH YOU A PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SEASON 🎄✨

As we gather for festivities, let’s make our well-being a priority. It will make your holiday season far more enjoyable and less stressful.
