Thyroid disease\naffects an estimated twenty million Americans, with up to 60 percent not even\nknowing that they have it.<sup>1<\/sup> It is hard to tell if you are just\ntrying to manage the stressed, overworked, sleep-deprived parts of everyday\nlife, or if there is something more to it. It is easier to just ignore what\nseems like non-threatening symptoms, but what could be hiding is a thyroid disease.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thyroid is a gland that is located on the lower part of the neck, right under the Adam\u2019s apple. The thyroid\u2019s job is to secrete hormones. Thyroid hormones help with metabolism, regulating body temperature, and assists in growth and development. During the early stages of life, the thyroid hormone is essential for brain development.<sup>2 <\/sup>The most common risk factors are being female, over the age of 40, having diabetes, and family history of thyroid disease.<sup>3 <\/sup>There are many different types of thyroid dysfunction. Below are the most common thyroid diagnoses: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HYPOTHYROIDISM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong>: hypothyroidism is considered an\n\u201cunderactive\u201d thyroid, meaning it does not produce enough thyroid hormone. The\nmost common reason that this occurs is thyroiditis, which is the inflammation\nof the thyroid. Hashimotos, an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies\nwith the intention of destroying the thyroid, is the most common cause of\nhypothyroidism.<sup>4<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Symptoms<\/strong>: The most common symptoms are fatigue, dull and thinning hair, and eyebrows, weight gain, constipation, joint inflammation, and muscle cramps.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treatment:<\/strong>&nbsp;\nThis is treated by introducing a medication of the thyroid hormone\nlevothyroxine. By trial and error, your doctor will find the correct dose to\nregulate your hormone levels. Symptoms of hypothyroidism will likely go away immediately\nbut taking the medication will be lifelong.<sup>6<\/sup> Exercise is often\nprescribed as well to help manage weight gain. If joint inflammation is a\nsymptom, doing a low-impact aerobic exercise such as water aerobics, walking or\nyoga may be recommended. &nbsp;Resistance\ntraining to build muscle has also been found to be beneficial to increase your\nmetabolic rate, as well as ease pressure on the joints.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HYPERTHYROIDISM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong>: Hyperthyroidism is when your thyroid is\nproducing too much of the hormone thyroxine, shown through blood tests. It\noften accelerates your metabolism, which may cause rapid weight loss or\nirregular heart rate.<sup> &nbsp;<\/sup>Graves\ndisease is an immune disorder that is often associated with hyperthyroidism and\nhas nearly all the same symptoms.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Symptoms: <\/strong>Weight loss despite regular eating and\nappetite, arrhythmia, anxiety, nervousness, sweating, tremor, and difficulty\nsleeping.<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treatment: <\/strong>One way of attacking this is through a\nradioactive iodine tablet, which is taken orally and causes the thyroid gland\nto shrink. Anti-thyroid medications will slowly reduce the symptoms but is\nusually the most effective solution. Relaxation techniques to alleviate stress\nand anxiety and regular exercise to maintain bone density, manage appetite and\nincrease your energy level can help with treating and managing both Graves\ndisease and hyperthyroidism.<sup>9<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GOITER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview: <\/strong>Goiter is the unusual enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is caused by either the overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones. Goiter is generally painless, and therefore, overlooked. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of Goiter. It is often seen as a result of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism, Graves disease, or Hashimoto\u2019s disease.<sup>10<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Symptoms: <\/strong>Coughing, trouble swallowing or breathing,\na tightening feeling in the throat, and commonly swelling around the base of\nthe neck.<sup>10<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treatment: <\/strong>Consuming iodine will cause the thyroid to shrink and decrease the symptoms, although it may take time to see immediate improvement. A dietitian may recommend consuming more foods that contain iodine such as eggs, soy milk, yogurt, cheese, iodized table salt, or a multivitamin containing iodine.<strong><sup>11<\/sup> <\/strong>Taking the anti-thyroid medications may also be prescribed.<sup>10 <\/sup>In summary, thyroid conditions are common and often untreated and ignored. While one of the main treatments for thyroid dysfunction is medication, it is often prescribed along with adjustment of your nutrition and exercise regimen.

She played many sports when growing up but ended up sticking with volleyball and softball through college at Concordia College in Moorhead. While at Concordia, she earned a double major in exercise science and nutrition, graduating in 2015. After moving to the cities from my long-time home in the Fargo area, she was not quite sure what her passion was until she started working as a personal trainer. She learned from brilliant personal trainers and physical therapists, which led to her discovery of corrective exercise being her passion. She has decided to finish up the classes needed to apply for physical therapy school, which she plans on doing soon! She is excited to be at Live Your Life Physical Therapy to learn as much as she can from Dr. Norman and all the physical therapist on staff!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n\n\n<p><sup>1<\/sup> \u201cGeneral Information\/Press Room.\u201d <em>American Thyroid Association<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/media-main\/press-room\/#:~:text=An%20estimated%2020%20million%20Americans,thyroid%20disorder%20during%20her%20lifetime\">http:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/media-main\/press-room\/#:~:text=An%20estimated%2020%20million%20Americans,thyroid%20disorder%20during%20her%20lifetime<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>2 <\/sup>Hoffman, Matthew. \u201cThe Thyroid (Human Anatomy): Picture, Function, Definition, Location in the Body, and More.\u201d <em>WebMD<\/em>, WebMD, 18 May 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/picture-of-the-thyroid#1\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/picture-of-the-thyroid#1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>3<\/sup> \u201cThyroid Disease: Causes, Symptoms, Risk Factors, Testing &amp; Treatment.\u201d <em>Cleveland Clinic<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/8541-thyroid-disease\">https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/8541-thyroid-disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>4<\/sup>Pathak, Neha. \u201cHypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid): Symptoms, Causes, Tests, Treatments.\u201d <em>WebMD<\/em>, WebMD, 26 Aug. 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/hypothyroidism-underactive-thyroid-symptoms-causes-treatments#1\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/hypothyroidism-underactive-thyroid-symptoms-causes-treatments#1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>5<\/sup> \u201cHypothyroidism.\u201d <em>Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/hypothyroidism\">https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/hypothyroidism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>6<\/sup> \u201cHypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid).\u201d <em>Mayo Clinic<\/em>, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 19 Nov. 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hypothyroidism\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20350289\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hypothyroidism\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20350289<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>7<\/sup> Liao, Sharon. \u201cThe Best Workouts for Hypothyroidism.\u201d WebMD, WebMD, 1 Dec. 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/features\/exercises-underactive-thyroid#1\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/features\/exercises-underactive-thyroid#1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>8<\/sup> \u201cHyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid).\u201d <em>Mayo Clinic<\/em>, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 14 Nov. 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hyperthyroidism\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20373659#:~:text=Hyperthyroidism%20(overactive%20thyroid)%20occurs%20when,treatments%20are%20available%20for%20hyperthyroidism\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hyperthyroidism\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20373659#:~:text=Hyperthyroidism%20(overactive%20thyroid)%20occurs%20when,treatments%20are%20available%20for%20hyperthyroidism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>9<\/sup> \u201cGraves&#8217; Disease.\u201d <em>Mayo Clinic<\/em>, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 5 Dec. 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/graves-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20356240\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/graves-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20356240<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>10<\/sup> \u201cGoiter.\u201d Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 27 Nov. 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/goiter\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20351829\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/goiter\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20351829<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>11<\/sup> \u201cIodine Deficiency.\u201d American Thyroid Association, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/iodine-deficiency\/\">http:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/iodine-deficiency\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January is National Thyroid Awareness Month!
