Natural Hypothyroidism Treatment
At Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss, we are constantly connecting the dots for your health.

Many modern diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, insomnia, and chronic fatigue are really related to thyroid dysfunction and adrenal fatigue. Treating thyroid issues often helps correct the other issues. Regardless of your thyroid and adrenal situation, the team at Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss has the natural hypothyroidism treatment methods on hand ready to customize and personalize a program for you.
Do you know just how important your thyroid, that little butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, really is? The thyroid helps each organ work by producing hormones that your body needs to use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs functioning properly. Since these hormones control many bodily functions, it comes as no surprise that an underactive thyroid could cause serious health concerns.
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, refers to a condition in which the thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones. When this occurs, the thyroid functions at a reduced speed and becomes sluggish. The lack of hormones slows down the body’s metabolic functions and can cause you pain and suffering. But with proper medication and natural hypothyroidism treatment methods, hypothyroidism can be treated safely and naturally.
Hypothyroidism can affect your physical body, your mood, and even the way you think, look, and sound. Because the thyroid controls your body’s metabolism and its ability to use energy, you can experience a wide range of symptoms if you are suffering from thyroid disease. Experiencing one or more of these signs and symptoms does not automatically mean you have thyroid disease. Some hypothyroidism sufferers experience only a few of these symptoms, while others may not experience any symptoms at all.
Some of the symptoms and signs associated with hypothyroidism are:
- Fatigue
Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling cold
- Headache
- Muscle and joint pain
- Weight gain, despite diminished appetite
- Constipation
- Dry skin
- Coarse hair, hair loss
- Hoarse voice
- Depression
- Menstrual irregularities
- Milky discharge from breasts (galactorrhea)

Why is there lactose, and how much?
Lactose is not added to our formula but it is already present in Thyroid USP raw material as a diluent per USP (United States Pharmacopeia). Lactose is not contraindicated for individuals with allergies to dairy, as lactose is a milk sugar (vs. dairy allergies which are caused by proteins in milk). It is, however, contraindicated for individuals with lactose intolerance. We have had many physicians reporting no side effects while using Nature-Throid with lactose intolerant patients. The amount is very small – less than 5 mg. per 1 Grain vs. 12,000 – 15,000 mg. in a typical 8 fl. oz. glass of milk.

Why has my WP-thyroid been discolored?
Since WP Thyroid is uncoated and formulated with minimal pure ingredients, the tablets can change color by absorbing ambient humidity. If the tablets are stored in their original container and at room temperature (59° (15°) – 86° F (30° C) with an ambient humidity of 10-65%, no discoloration occurs. However, exposed tablets outside of proper storage conditions still conform to USP specifications for both T4 and T3 potency and stability.
