The thyroid gland plays a critical role in metabolism, energy, and hormone balance. When it becomes inflamed—a condition called thyroiditis—thyroid function can be disrupted, leading to fatigue, mood changes, and other health concerns.
At Optimize Integrative Health, we use advanced diagnostics and personalized care to uncover the root causes of thyroiditis and restore long-term thyroid health.
Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland, which can affect how the gland produces hormones. Depending on the type, thyroiditis may cause either low thyroid activity (hypothyroidism) or overactive thyroid function (hyperthyroidism).
Because thyroiditis can progress differently from person to person, a tailored approach is essential for effective management.
Thyroiditis can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease
Viral or bacterial illness causing subacute thyroiditis
Interferons, amiodarone, and other drugs
Treatment for cancers in the head and neck area
Hormonal fluctuations after childbirth
Understanding which factor is driving your condition is the first step toward targeted care.
The symptoms of thyroiditis depend on severity and thyroid hormone levels, but many patients experience:
These symptoms can overlap with other conditions, making accurate diagnosis essential.
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Unexplained weight changes
Anxiety, irritability, or mood swings
Neck pain, swelling, or tenderness
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Sensitivity to heat or cold

Advanced diagnostics such as bloodwork, genomic testing, and biological age screening to uncover imbalances.

Ongoing support, lifestyle coaching, and stress management strategies to maintain gut health long term.
