Thyroid disease affects over 20 million people in the United States alone, yet it is among the most misunderstood conditions in medicine today.
As a chiropractor with an advanced specialty in nutrition and neurology, Dr. Olivieri has worked exclusively with women who suffer from thyroid symptoms despite their lab results being normal. He says, “These women are tired, cranky, don’t sleep well, are overweight and have nowhere else to go.”
Dr. Olivieri would like to reveal exactly how he’s helped many patients by sharing with you these three ways of how to battle thyroid symptoms naturally, without more drugs or surgery.
First, “We need to fight the right battle,” Dr. Olivieri says. What most sufferers don’t realize is that a majority of thyroid cases nowadays are autoimmune in nature. It’s called Hashimotos Thyroiditis and it is often undiagnosed.
Secondly, “We need to address the body as a whole,” says Dr. Olivieri. Every cell in the body has receptor sites for thyroid hormones. Therefore, a decrease of thyroid hormone leads to a decrease in the function of all body systems including the brain, nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, immune, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems.
Lastly, “We need to find the root cause by getting the right labs,” he says. The correct metabolic testing to determine which areas of the body are deficient or overreaching is necessary.
As part of his thyroid support protocol, Dr. Olivieri incorporates these three components to establish proper diet, nutrition and supplementation to help boost the patient’s immune system.
So why is a chiropractor treating thyroid disease? Dr. Olivieri emphasizes that he is not treating the disease.
“That’s what their MD is for,” he says. “The medications can be life savers and women should not take themselves off of them. It’s my job to help modulate the thyroid gland nutritionally.”
“It is a very rewarding way of practicing,” he says, and has developed his Feel Great in Eight Institute based on these principles. “Actually seeing patient’s lives improve on a weekly basis makes me look forward to coming to work each day.”
