Understanding Hyperthyroidism and Thyroid Disorders
Hyperthyroidism is a common thyroid disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid gland. It results in the production of excessive thyroid hormones, which can lead to various symptoms and complications. At Rochester Holistic Center, our expert naturopath in Toronto specializes in treating thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism, using holistic approaches.

Hyperthyroidism can be caused by factors such as:

Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include:
- Weight loss

Conventional Vs. Holistic Approaches
While conventional medicine offers various treatments for hyperthyroidism, such as anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery, many individuals seek natural alternatives to manage their condition. At Rochester Holistic Center, our naturopath recognizes the importance of addressing the root causes of hyperthyroidism rather than just suppressing symptoms.
