How A San Jose Thyroid Doctor Helps Patients Tired Of Feeling "run Down"

By Elke Hermann


When you are feeling excessively fatigued and tired, it can be a difficult time in life. You may have no energy and everyday tasks may be too much. Maybe you miss work often and are worn out most of the time. Your problem may be hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) and a holistic San Jose thyroid doctor can help.

If you believe that your tiredness is hypothyroidism, you could pay a visit to your doctor. Many physicians rely on specific blood tests to see if everything is OK. However, these tests do not always point to hypothyroidism. In fact, you could be given medication or therapy that does not help much with the problem.

Hypothyroidism may be a result of an immune system problem. In fact, autoimmune disorder is a major cause. An autoimmune condition means that the body's defense system sees certain body parts as threats and attacks them. Normal therapy is to depress or slow down the immune response, but this comes with a high cost.

When you suppress the immune response in the body, simple infections can become something serious. For example, you may come down with the flu and it could get much worse, because there are not enough white blood cells to combat the flu virus. A serious bacterial infection may develop, and it can be hard to get rid of.

Many health problems are a result of toxins within the body that make you ill. Some conditions develop slowly inside the digestive system and gradually build up to create illness. In time, waste sits in the digestive tract and can literally rot. This attracts the wrong kind of bacteria and can completely disrupt the natural balance of good bacteria and yeast organisms in your gut.

When the thyroid is not functioning properly, the first reaction may be to address it with medication. However, many problems affect this important gland, but are rooted somewhere else in the body. Functional medicine directs therapy at the actual cause of the problem so it can be eliminated naturally, and it may not return.
