help if thyroid removed

Can You Help Me Even If My Thyroid Has Been Removed?

Without a doubt the most common question that I get on a day to day basis is:

“My thyroid was removed by my doctor X number of years ago but I still have symptoms. Is there any way you can help me?”

There are two reasons why people typically have their thyroid removed:

    1. Graves Disease (autoimmune Hyperthyroidism)
    2. Cancer

Regardless of why the thyroid gland was removed what happens is that you immediately become hypothyroid after the surgery or radioactive iodine treatment.

You no longer have a gland to produce hormones on your own so you would forever be dependent on external thyroid hormones like Synthroid or Armour. That is a fact and there is nothing that can be done to change THAT aspect.

But what happens when taking the hormone doesn’t resolve the symptoms of low thyroid?

What if you continue to have weight and metabolism issues, hair loss, brain fog, and fatigue no matter how much or which thyroid hormone you take?

If you still have low thyroid symptoms then we know that there is another culprit that is affecting your ability to use those hormones. Until we discover what that culprit is and change/fix it, you will always struggle with those symptoms.

So if you have had your thyroid removed and you still have symptoms then you need our type of functional approach more than anybody.

Our functional approach gets to the root causes of the symptoms and will help you feel and function better. We will discover what is interfering with you ability to use the thyroid hormone that you are taking every day.

The first step is to schedule a consultation in our office to discuss the specifics of your case. Click Here to Schedule Now.

"I would recommend this to anyone that is having thyroid issues"

My name is Margie and I have been coming to Dr. Heimlich’s office for about two months now. And I have to say that I am seeing some significant results. I came here with feeling tired, sluggish; brain fog, light-headedness, dizziness, overweight, and I’ve seen results in all of those areas.

I am able to think clearer, I am able to get up from desk and not have any light headedness, have more energy and I can keep up with my children, which is huge for me, and get through my day and not feel so tired.

I was gone for five days, on vacation, and I was able to do the things that you recommended, even on vacation, and keep up with my children, which was at amusement parks, beach, all that kind of stuff. In the past I would have been very tired and needed caffeine to get through it and not anymore.

My coworkers are noticing more color, more vibrancy, and I look less sluggish to them as well. Yes, the mental fog, the unclear thinking, just always needed caffeine to get rid of that and not anymore, it’s gone. Which is wonderful.

I would recommend it to anyone that is having those same issues. Sometimes had spots or blurry vision, but that has stopped now as well.
