Why Your Thyroid Matters 

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, but it plays a big role in regulating metabolism, energy, mood, digestion, and body temperature. 

When your thyroid is overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism), it can cause symptoms that affect your whole body. 

At FxMedCare, one of the best functional medicine clinics in Nigeria, we treat thyroid dysfunction by identifying the root cause instead of just masking symptoms with medication

Types of Thyroid Dysfunction 

Hypothyroidism – Sluggish Thyroid 

This happens when your thyroid produces too little hormone, slowing down body functions. 

 Common Symptoms: 

• Fatigue 

• Weight gain despite healthy eating 

• Dry skin and hair thinning 

• Constipation 

• Feeling cold often 

• Depression or low mood 

Hyperthyroidism – Overactive Thyroid 

This occurs when your thyroid produces too much hormone, speeding up body functions. 

 Common Symptoms: 

• Unexplained weight loss 

• Rapid heartbeat 

• Anxiety or irritability 

• Trouble sleeping 

• Increased sweating 

• Muscle weakness 

Common Root Causes of Thyroid Problems 

Functional medicine focuses on why your thyroid is out of balance. Common causes include: 

• Autoimmune Conditions (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease) 

• Nutrient Deficiencies (iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin D) 

• Chronic Stress and cortisol imbalance 

• Gut Health Issues that affect nutrient absorption 

• Toxin Exposure from food, water, and environment 

The Functional Medicine Approach to Thyroid Healing 

At FxMedCare, we look beyond standard thyroid blood tests. We run functional lab testing to get a complete picture of your thyroid function, adrenal health, gut microbiome, and nutrient levels. 

Our 5-Step Thyroid Support Plan: 

1. Comprehensive Testing – Checking TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies. 
2. Nutrient Optimization – Replenishing iodine, selenium, zinc, and vitamin D. 
3. Gut Repair – Healing leaky gut and restoring healthy digestion. 
4. Stress Management – Using lifestyle, adaptogens, and mindfulness to balance cortisol. 
5. Detox Support – Reducing toxin exposure and supporting liver detox pathways.
