Hashimoto’s Disease

Common Causes of Hashimoto’s Disease

Because Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder, it’s difficult to know exactly what has caused it. However, most experts believe it can be caused by genetics, stress, infection, or a combination of these factors.

Common causes of Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease include:

  • Food sensitivities (gluten is a major culprit)
  • Intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
  • Chronic infections
  • Stress
  • Toxins
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Cortisol imbalances
How We Treat It

Treatment includes diagnosing the root causes of your Hashimoto’s disease, which may include micronutrient testing, gut testing, and cortisol testing. In some cases, we prescribe thyroid hormones, if necessary.

At the Dynamic Life Health Center, we have helped hundreds of people uncover their autoimmune diseases and treat the underlying causes, resulting in greatly reduced symptoms. We identify and manage thyroid health to optimal levels, so you can feel good again.

 

Hypothyroidism

What Is Hypothyroidism?

When your thyroid is not working as it should, your body is not producing enough hormones to maintain proper functioning. This can lead to many adverse health conditions:

  • Cold sensitivity
  • Dry skin
  • Hair loss
  • Anger/irritability
  • Joint pain
  • Slowed heart rate
  • Swelling
  • Weight gain

How We Treat It

We treat hypothyroidism with a functional medicine approach. We order an in-depth thyroid panel—TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. We measure four nutrient deficiencies—selenium, iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamin D. We address gut imbalances, cortisol issues, and optimize nutrition.

If indicated, we prescribe all types of thyroid medications, including compounded versions of thyroid replacement therapy.

Treatment Approach

Comprehensive Testing, In-Depth Treatment

Our diagnostic process will help both you and your provider understand your thyroid problems so you can get the best care possible. By identifying the root cause of your imbalances, we can reduce fatigue, weight gain, and even depression.

Your initial visit will include a consultation between you and one of our providers. We will discuss your symptoms and goals before scheduling diagnostic testing. After your testing is complete, your personalized treatment will begin.

Your treatment plan, tailored specifically for you, can range from diet and lifestyle changes as well as thyroid prescription medication, if indicated.

    I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

    I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

    Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
