What Are the Causes and Best Treatments for Hypothyroidism? - #14435
I have been feeling fatigued, experiencing hair loss, and gaining weight, and after getting a blood test, my doctor said I might have hypothyroidism. I want to understand what causes hypothyroidism and what the best treatment options are. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, leading to slowed metabolism, weight gain, depression, dry skin, and sensitivity to cold. Some of the most common causes include iodine deficiency, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and hormonal imbalances. Many doctors prescribe thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine), but I want to know whether natural remedies like Ayurveda, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications can help regulate thyroid function. For those who have hypothyroidism, what treatments worked best for managing symptoms and improving energy levels? Would love insights into the best thyroid-friendly foods, lifestyle habits, and Ayurvedic treatments.
