Thyroid & Endocrine Treatment

If you’re struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, or hormone imbalances, your thyroid or endocrine system may be the missing piece of the puzzle. But too often, conventional medicine overlooks early dysfunction, leaving you with frustrating symptoms and no real answers.

At East Bay Natural Medicine, Dr. Jaspreet Mundeir takes a deeper, root-cause approach to uncovering and addressing thyroid and endocrine imbalances. She doesn’t just look at whether your labs fall into the “normal” range—she analyzes optimal function, listens to your symptoms, and builds a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Common Symptoms of Thyroid and Adrenal Issues:

• Fatigue & Low Energy – Even after a full night’s sleep
• Weight Gain or Inability to Lose Weight – Despite healthy eating and exercise
• Brain Fog & Memory Issues – Difficulty focusing or forgetfulness
• Thinning Hair, Dry Skin, or Brittle Nails – Signs of poor metabolism function
• Cold Sensitivity or Temperature Issues – Feeling colder than usual
• Mood Changes, Anxiety, or Depression – Unexplained shifts in mental well-being
• Irregular Menstrual Cycles or Hormonal Imbalances

If any of these sound familiar, your thyroid or endocrine system may be out of balance. And if you’ve been told “your labs are normal” but still feel unwell, it’s time for a deeper evaluation.

Why Conventional Thyroid Testing Isn’t Enough

Many doctors rely only on basic TSH tests, which don’t always reveal the full picture of thyroid health. Dr. Mundeir goes beyond the surface by evaluating:

• Comprehensive Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and Antibodies)
• Adrenal & Cortisol Levels – To assess how stress affects your hormones
• Nutrient Deficiencies – Key minerals and vitamins that impact thyroid function
• Gut & Liver Function – Essential for hormone metabolism and balance

By looking at the bigger picture, she identifies the underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms—whether it’s autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s or Graves’), adrenal dysfunction, or other endocrine issues.

A Personalized, Root-Cause Approach to Healing

Dr. Mundeir’s approach is not just about medication. While prescription support may be needed in some cases, she takes a holistic, functional approach to healing your thyroid and endocrine system naturally, using:

• Nutritional & Herbal Support – To restore thyroid and adrenal balance
• Glandulars, hormone therapy, and other targeted therapeutic measures.
• Diet & Lifestyle Modifications – Targeted changes to support hormone function
• High-Quality Supplements – Addressing deficiencies affecting your energy and metabolism
• Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments – So you get the support you need, every step of the way

For adrenal support we might include adaptogenic  herbs along with pro-hormones such as pregnenolone and DHEA.  A thyroid supportive program may include iodine, selenium, vitamin E, glandulars, herbal tinctures along with replacement thyroid hormone.

You don’t have to settle for feeling exhausted, foggy, or out of balance. If you suspect thyroid or endocrine dysfunction—or you’re frustrated with unanswered questions—it’s time for a new approach.

Get the Answers You Deserve for Thyroid and Adrenal Issues

Dr. Jaspreet Mundeir is committed to listening, investigating, and finding solutions where others have overlooked them. Working with a doctor who understands the complexity of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction is critical. Let’s uncover the root cause and get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Understanding Thyroid & Endocrine Conditions

Adrenal Exhaustion / Adrenal Fatigue

Your adrenal glands play a critical role in how your body responds to stress, producing hormones like cortisol that regulate energy, metabolism, and immune function. Adrenal fatigue (often referred to as adrenal dysfunction or HPA axis dysregulation) occurs when chronic stress, poor sleep, or overwork overwhelms your adrenal system, leading to burnout, exhaustion, and hormonal imbalances.

Common Symptoms:

• Constant fatigue, even after rest
• Cravings for salty or sugary foods
• Feeling “wired but tired” at night
• Difficulty handling stress
• Brain fog and trouble concentrating
• Dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up

If your adrenal glands are underproducing or overproducing cortisol, it can throw off your entire endocrine system—leading to thyroid dysfunction, blood sugar imbalances, and immune issues.

High or Low Cortisol (Adrenal Imbalance)

Cortisol is a vital hormone that regulates your body’s response to stress—but too much or too little can cause serious health issues.

High Cortisol (Chronic Stress Response)

When cortisol levels remain elevated for too long (often due to prolonged stress), it can contribute to:

• Anxiety, irritability, or panic attacks
• Trouble sleeping (especially waking up in the night)
• Weight gain (especially around the midsection)
• High blood pressure & blood sugar imbalances
• Weakened immune function

Low Cortisol (Adrenal Fatigue or Burnout)  

If your adrenal glands become too depleted to produce adequate cortisol, you may experience:

• Extreme fatigue & low energy
• Frequent illness or slow recovery
• Difficulty waking up in the morning
• Low blood pressure & dizziness
• Muscle weakness

Dr. Mundeir takes a comprehensive approach to adrenal health, using salivary and urinary cortisol testing to assess your levels throughout the day—so treatment is tailored to what your body actually needs.

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

Hypothyroidism occurs when your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to a sluggish metabolism and a variety of frustrating symptoms. Many people go undiagnosed for years because standard lab tests only look at TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), rather than the full thyroid function.

Common Symptoms of Hypothyroidism:

• Fatigue & sluggishness
• Unexplained weight gain (despite diet/exercise)
• Cold intolerance (always feeling cold)
• Dry skin, brittle nails, and thinning hair
• Brain fog, memory issues, & depression
• Slow digestion, bloating, or constipation

Why Conventional Treatment Often Falls Short:

Many doctors only prescribe synthetic thyroid hormones (like levothyroxine) without addressing the underlying causes, such as nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, chronic stress, or autoimmunity. Dr. Mundeir takes a functional medicine approach—digging deeper to find out why your thyroid is struggling and what your body needs to rebalance naturally.

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (Autoimmune Hypothyroidism)

Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, yet it’s frequently overlooked in standard testing. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid, gradually impairing its function.

Signs of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis:

• Classic hypothyroid symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, cold intolerance)
• Swelling or discomfort in the thyroid (goiter)
• Fluctuating energy levels (some days wired, other days exhausted)
• Brain fog & memory issues
• Joint pain & muscle stiffness
• Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, acid reflux)

What Makes Hashimoto’s Different?

Unlike standard hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s is an immune system issue first, and a thyroid issue second. That means simply taking thyroid medication doesn’t address the root cause. Dr. Mundeir focuses on reducing inflammation, identifying triggers (like gut health, food sensitivities, and stress), and supporting immune balance—so your body can heal.

Graves’ Disease (Autoimmune Hyperthyroidism)

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the thyroid to become overactive, producing excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. This leads to an accelerated metabolism, often causing weight loss, anxiety, and a racing heart.

Signs & Symptoms of Graves’ Disease:

• Unexplained weight loss despite normal eating habits
• Rapid heartbeat (palpitations) & high blood pressure
• Anxiety, restlessness, or irritability
• Sweating & heat intolerance
• Bulging eyes (exophthalmos) or vision changes
• Muscle weakness & tremors

A Functional Approach to Graves’ Disease

Conventional treatment often focuses on shutting down thyroid function through medication or even surgical removal. However, Dr. Mundeir works to regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and support healthy thyroid function naturally—helping your body find a balanced state without drastic interventions.

Find Out What’s Really Going On in Your Body
