For those struggling with hypothyroidism, the idea of supplementing with iodine may seem like a simple and effective solution. However, the relationship between iodine and hypothyroidism is not always straightforward. While iodine can be incredibly beneficial for some, in others, it can actually exacerbate the condition, leading to further complications.

Whether you’re considering adding iodine to your regimen or are curious about its effects, this video will provide you with the critical information to make an informed decision about your health. Join me as we explore the nuances of iodine and its impact on thyroid function, so you can take steps toward better managing your hypothyroidism.

Conventional medicine often takes a reactive approach to hypothyroidism, waiting until the condition becomes severe before intervening. At that point, the typical treatment involves either destroying or surgically removing the thyroid gland and then prescribing lifelong thyroid replacement hormones. Does that sound like an exciting prospect? I didn’t think so! Fortunately, there are alternatives. For instance, iodine supplementation can be a key factor in supporting and repairing a malfunctioning thyroid. But iodine is just one piece of the puzzle.

As a functional medicine physician, I am trained to dig deeper and identify the root causes of thyroid dysfunction. My goal is not just to manage symptoms but to address the underlying issues that have led to your thyroid problems in the first place. Regardless of where you live, if you’re curious about whether your thyroid issues can be resolved rather than merely managed, I invite you to schedule a “Get Acquainted” visit today. Together, we can explore your options and determine the best course of action to restore your thyroid health.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
