Thyroid disorders affect millions of people and can have a significant impact on energy levels, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces hormones (T3 and T4) that regulate body temperature, digestion, weight management, and cognitive function. When the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), it can cause chronic fatigue, weight fluctuations, brain fog, and other frustrating symptoms.
At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we specialize in holistic and functional medicine approaches to managing thyroid disorders. Dr. Mark Stengler, a nationally recognized integrative medicine expert, provides comprehensive thyroid disorder management for patients in San Marcos and the surrounding areas. Through advanced testing, personalized nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments, we help patients restore thyroid balance naturally and effectively.
The thyroid plays a crucial role in numerous bodily functions, including:
✔️ Metabolism & Weight Regulation – Controls caloric burn and fat storage.
✔️ Energy Levels – Supports daily stamina and prevents fatigue.
✔️ Mood & Mental Clarity – Influences emotional stability, brain function, and focus.
✔️ Hormonal Balance – Works in coordination with adrenal and reproductive hormones.
✔️ Heart & Digestive Health – Impacts heart rate, gut motility, and circulation.
When thyroid hormone levels are too low (hypothyroidism) or too high (hyperthyroidism), it can cause a wide range of health problems. That’s why early detection and expert care are essential.
If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, or brain fog, thyroid dysfunction could be the cause. At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we take a root-cause approach to thyroid care, offering comprehensive diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to help restore balance naturally.
Our integrative thyroid treatment plans include:
✔️ Advanced thyroid hormone testing (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies).
✔️ Nutritional therapy to optimize thyroid function and hormone balance.
✔️ Targeted supplementation to support metabolism, energy, and immune function.
✔️ Lifestyle adjustments including stress reduction, improved sleep, and gentle exercise.
By combining functional medicine, nutrition, and holistic therapies, we help patients achieve long-term improvements in their thyroid health and overall well-being.
The thyroid gland is essential for regulating metabolism, energy levels, mood, and overall health. When thyroid function is compromised, it can lead to various health issues that affect daily life and long-term well-being. Understanding the most common thyroid disorders is key to early detection and effective treatment.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), leading to a slower metabolism and reduced energy levels.
✔️ Persistent fatigue and sluggishness
✔️ Unexplained weight gain and difficulty losing weight
✔️ Brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating
✔️ Depression, mood swings, and irritability
✔️ Dry skin, brittle hair, and thinning hair
✔️ Sensitivity to cold and slow metabolism
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormones, which overstimulates metabolism and various bodily functions.
✔️ Increased heart rate or palpitations
✔️ Unintentional weight loss despite normal eating habits
✔️ Anxiety, nervousness, and irritability
✔️ Insomnia and difficulty sleeping
✔️ Increased sweating and heat intolerance
✔️ Muscle weakness and hand tremors
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing chronic inflammation and reduced hormone production. It is the leading cause of hypothyroidism.
✔️ Extreme fatigue and low energy levels
✔️ Unexplained weight gain and sluggish metabolism
✔️ Brain fog, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating
✔️ Dry skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails
✔️ Cold intolerance, joint pain, and muscle weakness
Because Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition, treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, balancing the immune system, and supporting thyroid function naturally.
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that overstimulates the thyroid gland, leading to excessive thyroid hormone production and hyperthyroidism.
✔️ Rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure
✔️ Unexplained weight loss despite a healthy appetite
✔️ Nervousness, anxiety, and mood swings
✔️ Bulging eyes (Graves’ ophthalmopathy)
✔️ Increased sweating and heat intolerance
✔️ Hand tremors or shakiness
Graves’ disease requires a holistic approach to regulate immune system function while balancing thyroid hormone production.
Thyroid imbalances can have a wide-ranging impact on overall health, affecting energy levels, metabolism, mood, and cognitive function. Whether the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), these imbalances can lead to uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms. Recognizing the signs early is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.
✔️ Fatigue and Low Energy
✔️ Unexplained Weight Gain or Weight Loss
✔️ Depression, Anxiety, or Mood Swings
✔️ Brain Fog and Difficulty Concentrating
✔️ Sensitivity to Cold or Heat
✔️ Hair Thinning or Brittle Nails
