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
