An Integrated approach for hypothyroidism: Is this approach a solution to avoid long-term medication?

A case at WELLBEEING© Integrated Health Centre was promising to study further the synergistic effect of working together at the body-mind levels of an individual, rather than depending only on long-term thyroxine drug.

This person had been diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism by independent medical and lab assessment, of which conservative management had failed to normalize the TSH, which showed a continued upward trend; this individual could not lose weight by conventional methods. The patient underwent the lifestyle modification with hypothyroid management program at WELLBEEING. His weight was regularly checked, stress was relieved, and the TSH was done at the end of 6 weeks, both of which showed significant improvement. This report demonstrates that integrated management as an approach has shown to be effective in a case of autoimmune thyroiditis, and hopefully will reduce the dependency on the medications as well. However, this has encouraged the team to research further to develop treatment protocols for more such cases, so as to reduce the dependency on long-term use of drugs. This only increased the conviction of treating such patients more by this team of doctors.

The case was treated by a team of doctors from different systems of medicine functionally working together at WELLBEEING. More number of such cases can create strong evidence to medical fraternity on reversal of Thyroid, perhaps both hyper and hypo thyroids.

The team-Integrative Medicine at WELLBEEING is currently working towards evidence based programs for various lifestyle disorders.
