Thyroid disorders & Adrenal Dysfunction

Thyroid and Cortisol hormones play a key role in our metabolism, immunity, inflammation, weight management and brain health. Our hormonal systems are intricately linked and achieving a good balance between the thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones is essential for optimal health and longevity. Shashi is very experienced in managing Thyroid Disorders and Adrenal Dysfunction.

Functional Medicine helps us diagnose and treat the root cause of a condition. Often symptoms can be complex and interrelated, with an interplay between genetic, biochemical and lifestyle factors. Functional medicine offers in-depth testing like DUTCH tests, Urine & Saliva tests, Comprehensive Gut tests, and Genetic tests, which can help us understand the symptoms and their root causes. Shashi collaborates with leading nutritional therapists, acupuncturists, trauma therapists and other expert practitioners to offer you a holistic best possible outcome for conditions like: -

- Chronic fatigue

- Long term gut problems like IBS, Gut Dysbiosis

- Allergies and Histamine Intolerance
