Hypothyroid Treatment Protocol

These are the types of Hypothyroidism:

• Primary Hypothyroidism, the most common type, occurs when the dysfunction exists in the thyroid gland itself.
• Central Hypothyroidism can be a
  – Secondary Hypothyroidism that occurs when there is dysfunction in the pituitary gland, or
  – Tertiary Hypothyroidism that results from hypothalamus disorders
• Subclinical or Underactive Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid is the early form of thyroid failure when the T4 levels are still normal. This affects 3-8% of the general population!
• Congenital Hypothyroidism is when it is an inborn disorder.

Did you know: This condition is most common in women, in which Hashimoto’s disease is usually the most common cause of hypothyroidism. The fact is that Hashimoto can be cured… You can completely reverse hypothyroidism by taking on a personalised treatment plan..
Some of the lesser-known symptoms includes:

• Depression (as this condition causes the brain to slow down)
• Memory problems
• Frequent constipation
• Dry skin
• Hair loss
• Changes in the menstrual cycle
• Infertility
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure, heart disease
• Weight Gain

HYPOTHYROIDISM – THERAPEUTIC APPROACH, THE ATMANTAN WAY
MANAGEMENT, REVERSAL & CURE – GOAL OF DISORDER MANAGEMENT

• Assess and treat the underlying root cause and imbalances that are causing the thyroid dysfunction (which more commonly is autoimmune or stress induced, such as inflammation, overuse of medications, nutrient deficiencies and changes in hormones due to stress.)
• Create a plan that revolves around controlling a clinical progression of the disease. Bring the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) and T3 and T4 (Thyroid hormones) to normal levels.
• To maintain a healthy weight, and boost metabolism.
• Improve the conversion of thyroid hormones to the active form of thyroid, and to reduce the autoimmune markers.
• Improve gut health, reduce gut inflammation, detoxify the liver and improve your muscle activity for better circulation, since conversion happens in the gut, liver and muscles!

ATMANTAN’s MANAGEMENT and TREATMENT PROTOCOL for Hypothyroidism

At Atmantan, the first step of treating Hypothyroidism begins with eliminating the causes of thyroid dysfunction (which more commonly is autoimmune or stress induced, such as inflammation, overuse of medications, nutrient deficiencies and changes in hormones due to stress.)

Our team of Doctors make sure you are enrolled in a programme that enhances thyroid function, ensures proper adrenal functioning, restores gut health, and enhances a liver detox (which gets impaired due to poor thyroid function)!

The ultimate objective of the treatment programme is to improve the conversion of thyroid hormones to the active form of thyroid, and to reduce the autoimmune markers. The conversion of thyroid hormones to the active form of thyroid happens in the gut, liver and muscles – it is important to work towards improving your gut health, reducing gut inflammation, detoxifying the liver and improving your muscle activity for better circulation!

Our integrated wellness protocols are extremely effective in managing and even reversing Hypothyroidism such that it addresses the thyroid dysfunction at the root level and not just symptomatically. Our Doctor-guided programmes where individual deficiencies and hormonal imbalances are corrected through lifestyle correction have created many inspiring stories.

Here are some ways our integrated wellness programme helps you manage, control a clinical progression of the disease and even reverse (over time) your hypothyroidism. All our programmes are personalised for you:

• Diet and Nutrition: Our prescribed diet plan focuses on grain-free, sugar-free and gluten free diet consisting of unprocessed foods with healing fats. This being anti-inflammatory in nature aims to promote a hormonal balance and manage blood sugar levels (that is associated with a thyroid disorder). The Doctors address the nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, overuse of medications and changes in hormones due to stress with the right food.
• Movement, Exercise and Physical Activity: Regular physical activity is crucial in maintaining a healthy weight and boosting metabolism. With a combination of cardio, functional training, and hormonal Yoga for thyroid you are able to assist and kick start with the body’s natural healing and optimal hormonal mechanism. With the improved weight parameters, your body learns to improve its health from the inside out.
• Stress Management: Stress causes inflammation which in turn contributes to your thyroid dysfunction! Our programme incorporates several stress reduction techniques such as therapeutic Yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices, all of which contribute towards improving your stress levels and the associated inflammation.
• Adequate Sleep: We at Atmantan guide you towards improved an sleep schedule so as to ensure sufficient restorative healing. Lack of sleep negatively affects the hormonal balance and glucose metabolism in our bio-system and these are areas that need to be addressed when treating any thyroid dysfunction.
• Education and Support: OAtmantan believes in the knowledge about Hyperthyroidism and personally learning how to manage it, control it and even reversing it. This self-empowerment is the key to longevity. Our Doctors share information on your condition, guide you towards making informed lifestyle choices and this knowledge helps you make the much needed modifications. The transformation achieved thus becomes sustainable even in the day to day life!
• Mind-Body Practices: Our integrated mind-body approach including practices of acupuncture, energy healing, mediation, counselling etc. enables you to take on this powerful programme at your best as you manage to improve and even reduce the inflammation, hormonal imbalances and successfully also curb stress in a cohesive manner!
• Herbal and Natural Remedies: Some herbs and supplements, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, Ashwagandha, Selenium, Zinc etc. are all known to have positive effects on Hypothyroidism; Our Doctors are trained in integrative medicine to best determine the appropriateness and dosage of these herbal formulations for you. The dietary changes, and peptide therapy, along with our range of natural supplements helps you bridge the nutritional and minerals gap! We recommend certain Atmantan Naturals supplementation such as Thyrocare, Gut Revive, Omega 3 etc. for healing the disease pathways.

We recommend you consult with our Doctors and they will best advise you on a comprehensive treatment plan going forward.
