Natural Treatment Options for Hypothyroidism

Conventional scripts write levothyroxine and walk away—TSH “normal,” patient still foggy. We go upstream: test beyond TSH (reverse T3, antibodies, nutrient conversion), then rebuild.

At KCIH, naturopathic doctors treat hypothyroidism from the root of the problem. We are trained in the pharmacological treatments commonly prescribed by conventionally trained providers and, we work with your provider to ensure that you are on the right dose of pharmaceuticals—including levothyroxine, liothyronine, or desiccated thyroid—when necessary. However, we rarely use medication as an initial or stand-alone treatment. Instead, we individualize care using diet, nutritional supplementation, botanical medicine, and lifestyle medicine as the foundation, reserving prescriptions as a bridge or safety net while the body rebuilds its own capacity.
