Fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, heat or cold intolerance, palpitations, tremor, and mood swings are common thyroid-related symptoms.

We start with blood tests (TSH, T3, T4) and add ultrasound when needed to evaluate gland structure or nodules.

Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism often needs lifelong medication. Other conditions can be temporary. We tailor dosing and reassess regularly.

It is a combination of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, central weight gain, and abnormal cholesterol that raises heart risk. Early management reduces complications.

Yes, nutrition and lifestyle changes play a significant role in supporting hormone balance and metabolic health. For thyroid disorders, ensuring adequate iodine, selenium, and zinc intake supports thyroid function. For metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, reducing refined carbohydrates, increasing fiber, and achieving a healthy weight can dramatically improve hormonal balance. We include personalized diet and activity plans in your treatment, tailored to your specific condition and cultural dietary preferences.

Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths within the thyroid gland that are very common, found in up to 50 percent of adults on ultrasound. The vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous) and cause no symptoms. However, some nodules can be overactive (producing excess hormone), grow large enough to cause neck pressure or swallowing difficulty, or in about five percent of cases, may be cancerous. We evaluate nodules with thyroid function blood tests, high-resolution ultrasound, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy when indicated to determine whether treatment or monitoring is appropriate.

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is treated with daily thyroid hormone replacement medication, most commonly levothyroxine. The dose is carefully calibrated based on your TSH and free T4 levels and adjusted over time to maintain optimal hormone levels. Most patients take the medication on an empty stomach in the morning, 30 to 60 minutes before eating, for best absorption. Regular blood tests every six to eight weeks initially and then every six to twelve months once stable ensure your dose remains appropriate. Most patients feel significant improvement in energy, mood, and weight within a few weeks of achieving the correct dose.

Thyroid hormones regulate your metabolism, which directly affects how your body uses energy. Hypothyroidism slows metabolism, potentially causing modest weight gain of five to ten pounds, fluid retention, and difficulty losing weight. Hyperthyroidism accelerates metabolism, often causing unintended weight loss despite increased appetite. However, thyroid dysfunction alone rarely causes dramatic weight changes. If you are experiencing significant weight changes, we evaluate your complete metabolic profile including thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, cortisol levels, and other factors to identify and address all contributing causes.
