Then it’s Your Health Matters brought to you by Integrated Health Systems. Dr. Perry Maynard joined us to discuss what many doctors may not fully explain about hypothyroidism. He emphasized that nearly 90% of hypothyroid cases in the U.S. are caused by Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune condition not simply an iodine deficiency. In Hashimoto’s, the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, gradually impairing its ability to produce hormones. This can lead to classic hypothyroid symptoms such as fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, weight gain, and brain fog. However, Dr. Maynard explained that patients may also experience periods of hyperthyroid symptoms including anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia, and weight loss — as damaged thyroid tissue releases stored hormones into the bloodstream. These swings often cause fluctuating TSH levels and frequent medication adjustments, leaving patients frustrated. Dr. Maynard also stressed the importance of comprehensive testing, including thyroid antibodies, not just TSH alone. He also discussed a functional medicine approach that looks at immune triggers, gut health, inflammation, stress, and nutrient status to address root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Understanding the autoimmune component is key to developing a more effective, long-term strategy for thyroid health. Call 303-781-5617 to schedule your appointment.
