Support for Overactive Thyroid and Autoimmune Imbalance
Grave’s disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the thyroid to become overactive, a condition known as hyperthyroidism. This leads to excess hormone production, which can speed up metabolism and affect nearly every part of the body. At Azena Health and Longevity, we take a personalized, functional medicine approach to treating Grave’s disease by supporting both thyroid and immune system balance.
Common Symptoms of Grave’s Disease
Many people with Grave’s disease experience a wide range of symptoms that can come on gradually or suddenly. These may include:
- Unexplained weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
- Anxiety, irritability, or restlessness
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Excessive sweating or heat intolerance
- Enlarged thyroid (goiter)
- Bulging eyes or vision issues (Grave’s ophthalmopathy)
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
What Causes Grave’s Disease?
Grave’s disease occurs when the immune system produces antibodies that overstimulate the thyroid gland. Factors that may contribute include:
- Family history of thyroid or autoimmune disorders
- Chronic stress and adrenal imbalance
- Gut health issues and intestinal permeability
- Hormonal shifts or imbalances
- Environmental toxin exposure
- Viral infections that may trigger immune dysregulation

Rather than only managing symptoms, we work to uncover and address the underlying factors contributing to thyroid dysfunction and immune system imbalance. Our care plans are tailored to each individual’s health history and goals.

- Targeted nutritional support to reduce inflammation and support immune regulation
