Holistic Thyroid Doctor in Boca Raton, FL

If you are reading this, you’ve probably read all the other articles on the internet about thyroid disorders. So, you already know that the thyroid is a tiny gland located just beneath your Adam’s apple - about the size and shape of a small butterfly. Even though it’s small, it has a huge impact on your physical and mental health, your energy levels, and even hormonal health.

People seem to be unmovable when they believe their thyroid is the problem, even when conventional medicine tells them their levels of thyroid hormone are “normal.”

Do you seem to be gaining weight in spite of making no changes in your diet? Feel like you're constantly running on empty? Exhausted no matter how much you sleep? No focus, just brain fog? Traditional doctors may be brushing it off, saying all you need is a nap. But what you really need is a doctor who's been treating thyroid conditions for decades – because these are classic signs of Hashimoto’s.

Hashimoto’s is the most common type of thyroiditis. An autoimmune disease where your body makes antibodies that attack the cells in your thyroid, Hashimoto’s causes the thyroid to produce too little thyroid hormone, leading to Hypothyroidism.

Thyroiditis, thyroid eye disease, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, the list goes on and on – with symptoms could easily be ascribed to other medical conditions. Sounds confusing? It’s even confusing for many medical professionals. Estimates suggest that over 60 percent of thyroid cases go undiagnosed, even when people seek medical attention.

That’s why you need to be screened by a doctor who is experienced in diagnosing and treating thyroid disease. It’s essential because, left untreated, thyroid disorders can lead to serious conditions like heart disease and wreak havoc with your overall health for decades – never being diagnosed or treated.

At Manhattan Integrative Medicine of South Florida, located in Boca Raton, we can help you find out if the symptoms you are experiencing are caused by your thyroid – and then we provide the tailored holistic treatment you and your thyroid need.

This is where healing begins.

Meet Dr. Borenstein. He’s not only been treating Hashimoto’s and other thyroid disorders for decades, he has what it takes to look beyond symptoms and unravel the complex root causes of the many debilitating diseases that can impact your thyroid function.

What does it take? Patience, curiosity, compassion – and inspired detective work. As rare as it may seem in some medical circles, Dr. Borenstein really does listen - for as long as it takes. He'll keep testing and targeting root causes until you feel energized, focused and motivated to live the life you deserve.

Your thyroid gland can be impacted by a number of different disease states, with a complex array of symptoms that often mimic other diseases. Teasing out causes, symptoms and an accurate diagnosis is no simple task. So, the first step is arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

Taking the first step.

To diagnose thyroid disease, we use blood tests to determine if you are falling in the optimal range. Almost all of our patients have had their thyroid values tested and been told that they are within range, but in conventional medicine, the range for normal thyroid function is very broad. We want to see your thyroid levels in a narrower range, which is more reflective of optimal or healthy thyroid function.

A diagnosis is not based solely on TSH but on a combination of the patient’s symptoms, hands-on clinical examination, imaging tests, medical and family history, and comprehensive lab work.

We utilize hormone testing to optimize your hormone levels. We also want to determine if the cause of your thyroid imbalance is due to an autoimmune condition.

Once you and Dr. Borenstein are convinced it is your thyroid at issue, treatment begins.

What does Holistic Thyroid Treatment Entail?

Dr. Borenstein’s holistic approach entails creating a thorough, customized treatment plan for your specific health concerns to restore your thyroid health. The specific course of treatment varies with each individual patient, especially since thyroid symptoms may present differently in each person. We will create a treatment plan designed just for you and your unique thyroid condition.

Lifestyle changes, like incorporating more movement into your life and changing what you eat, are a good place to start.

In addition to thyroid hormones, other treatment options may include:

• Targeted vitamins, herbs and supplements
• Recommended lifestyle modifications that support thyroid health
• Medical nutrition plan to optimize thyroid hormone balance (even if weight is not an issue)
• Stress management
• Identifying and addressing food sensitivities
• Evaluating and addressing toxic environmental exposure that may be contributing to thyroid dysfunction
• Assessing and treating allergies
• And more!

At Manhattan Integrative Medicine pf South Florida in Boca Raton, we focus on finding the thyroid treatments that work best and are safe for you. Treatment options offered include:

• Natural desiccated thyroid (Armour Thyroid, Nature-Throid)
• Cytomel (T3)

He may recommend alternative treatments like acupuncture. For patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, we can develop innovative programs to help lower antibodies with diet, supplements, and cutting-edge Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) therapy.

Medical weight loss using Tirzepatide or Semaglutide can also address excess weight, which is a significant and troubling symptom of some thyroid disorders.
