My Approach
My Approach
Thyroid problems can affect your energy, mood, and overall well-being in ways that aren’t always obvious at first. My approach is to identify the root cause and guide you toward a treatment plan that’s both effective and practical. I focus on evidence-based care while being mindful that not all patients have unlimited resources. Each recommendation is made with care — balancing accuracy, necessity, and your comfort.
Understanding Thyroid Disorders
Understanding Thyroid Disorders
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ in the neck that produces hormones controlling metabolism, growth, and energy use. When this gland becomes overactive or underactive, it can affect almost every system in the body — from your heart and digestion to mood and weight.
Thyroid conditions are common, especially among women, but with the right diagnosis and management, most people can achieve excellent long-term control.
Types of Thyroid Disorders
Types of Thyroid Disorders
Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
The thyroid doesn’t make enough hormones, causing tiredness, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold.
Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)
The gland produces too much hormone, leading to weight loss, palpitations, and anxiety.
Goiter & Nodules
Swelling or lumps in the neck, usually benign but sometimes needing further tests.
Thyroid Cancer
Often slow-growing and treatable when found early.
Thyroid problems can develop slowly. Common signs include:
Fatigue or low energy
Weight changes
Feeling unusually cold or hot
Hair loss or dry skin
Mood or heart rate changes
