Are you feeling tired, sluggish, and just not yourself lately? Do you have trouble losing weight, even when you're eating well and exercising regularly? If so, you might be suffering from thyroid symptoms without even realizing it.
Thyroid problems are more common than you might think, and they can affect people of all ages. But if you're between the ages of 20 and 35, you might be especially vulnerable to these issues. That's because your body is still going through a lot of changes during this time, and your thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism and energy levels. Most people don't get a diagnosis of high or low thyroid until they are in their 50's to 60's and by those ages a lot of damaged can be done to the body.
Some symptoms of thyroid problems include:
There are 9 thyroid tests needed to accurately diagnose a thyroid problem. When it comes to diagnosing a thyroid condition, it's not as simple as just taking one, two, or three blood tests. The thyroid is a small gland in our neck that produces hormones that help regulate our body's metabolism. Sometimes, the levels of these hormones can become imbalanced, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and trouble concentrating.
To accurately diagnose a thyroid condition, we need to look at multiple factors. This includes checking the levels of different thyroid hormones in the blood, such as TSH, T3, and T4. However, these tests alone won't provide a complete picture. We need to check the anti-body levels to see if you have an auto-immune disease
It's important to remember that if your doctor isn't ordering the full thyroid panel of 9 blood tests you are missing important pieces to the puzzle of what is going on with your health.
Diagnosing a thyroid condition requires a comprehensive approach. At Oasis of Health we take your health seriously by doing the testing to get to the root cause of your health problems.
Yes. Absolutely. Hypothyroidism can cause unique symptoms in men, such as sexual dysfunction (low libido, erectile dysfunction), lower sperm count and motility of the sperm. It can also cause low testosterone leading to a decrease in bone and muscle. Men tend to have more muscle spasms than women.
Yes. A person may have hyperthyroidism which is also known as Graves Disease. They may have hypothyroidism which causes a very slow metabolism or there is a possibility of an auto-immune disease with the thyroid called: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto’s increase the risk of long-term health problems. The thyroid makes hormones and these hormones make sure your body’s systems work correctly. They can affect your weight, mood, and metabolism.
Auto-Immune means the body is attacking itself. The body starts to attack itself when it isn’t making enough ATP to help repair your cells, tissues and organs. ATP drives the brain and your metabolism. We can help find the causes of why it is attacking itself and help you restore your body to natural health by increasing your ATP production. You have to have ATP to heal. ATP is energy.
The Journal of Endocrinology stated in 1998 that 90% of all thyroid problems are from autoimmune disease. For instance, if your blood test shows positive for Thyroid Antibodies there is a good possibility it can lead to cancer. Another example of an auto immune disease is Grave’s Disease. Grave’s is hyperthyroid autoimmune disease and it is more dangerous than Hashimoto’s, because it can cause significant heart issues. Grave’s is characterized by huge bulging eyes.
It is so important to realize that taking thyroid replacement drugs is covering up the symptoms but they are not treating the autoimmune condition. So ask yourself this, “My doctor is giving me medication to replace the hormone that my thyroid is underproducing because the immune system is attacking it. But, what are their plans for getting my immune system to stop chewing up my thyroid until it is dead?” We have to talk about what makes this bad for your future. This is a significant problem: Hashi is a big deal because it leads to cancer, heart diseases, additional autoimmune diseases, decrease in time and quality of life. Your life span can be shortened and it won’t be an easy ending.
At our clinic we help restore your immune system to proper function. Watch this quick video to learn more of how we can help you, your family and friends.

Many doctors approach Hashimoto's with a "wait and see". Does that make sense to you? The doctors tell their patients; "Once the thyroid gland is destroyed we can start you on thyroid medication."
This is the official approach that doctors take when treating Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
If it doesn’t sound right to you, then you aren’t alone.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that will eventually result in the complete destruction of the thyroid gland if the disease is not treated. And….did you know this auto-immune disease can also lead to a cancer diagnosis?
But, does this have to happen? Do the symptoms of weight gain, cold intolerance, fatigue, joint pain, and hair loss have to last forever? No. They don’t.
Hashimoto’s is a treatable disease if it is managed correctly. And the correct management focuses on more than just the thyroid. Mycotoxins are one area of concern that are rarely investigated as a complicating factor to the thyroid. Targeting areas such as the gut, specific nutrient deficiencies, brain imbalances, balancing omega fatty acid levels, and improving your electron transport capabilities are essential.
Targeting THESE areas (and others) can help stop the auto destruction of the thyroid gland by the immune system and may prevent permanent damage to the thyroid gland.
The reason most patients with Hashimoto’s don’t feel better is because they don’t focus on the correct things - the root of the problem. We have to clean up the underlying conditions before we can support the thyroid the way it needs to be treated.
Hashimoto’s is first and foremost an immune problem. With this auto-immune disease the body has gone into Sympathetic overdrive….Vagus activity….that fight or flight syndrome….run from a tiger response that gets turned on and hasn’t shut off in the last 2-3 years because of stress or a physical or emotional trauma.
Focusing on the thyroid component may help you feel a little better temporarily but it won’t fix the problem. Fortunately, there are ways to help improve immune function and get to the root cause of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We use the E / D Occurrence protocol to help bring your body back to life.

Sarah had a problem with her body called hypo-thyroid which means her thyroid gland doesn't work properly. It made her feel tired all the time, and she couldn't concentrate on her work. She had trouble losing weight. She also had dry skin and felt cold even when others were warm.
