Thyroiditis

Addressing Inflammation for Better Thyroid Health

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.

What Is Thyroiditis?

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.

What Shapes Your Thyroid Health?

Thyroiditis can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:

Autoimmune Disorders

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease

Infections

Viral or bacterial illness causing subacute thyroiditis

Medications

Interferons, amiodarone, and other drugs

Radiation Therapy

Treatment for cancers in the head and neck area

Postpartum Changes

Hormonal fluctuations after childbirth

Understanding which factor is driving your condition is the first step toward targeted care.
