What is hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, is a condition that results from an improperly functioning thyroid. 

The result is a shortage of important hormones, which causes symptoms.

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism

An underactive thyroid can be difficult to diagnose because of the way symptoms present themselves. 

In some cases, they develop slowly and may go unnoticed for years. That’s why many patients are surprised when their Nutrition Response Testing assessment reveals hypothyroidism. 

Some of the most common hypothyroidism symptoms include: 

• Cold sensitivity
• Constipation
• Dry hair and skin
• Fatigue
• Feelings of depression
• Irregular menstrual cycles 
• Muscle cramps
• Slow thoughts or movements
• Sore or achy muscles 
• Weight gain

Hypothyroidism Causes

Hypothyroidism is commonly caused by the immune system attacking the thyroid gland. 

The thyroid becomes unable to produce the correct amount of a hormone called thyroxine . 

Other causes can include: 

• Iodine deficiency  
• Several types of prescription medication 
• Pituitary gland issues 
• Medical treatments performed to correct an overactive thyroid
