Thyroid Issues

Low Thyroid Function

Are you doing everything right and still waking up exhausted, having a hard time focusing or concentrating, lowering your cholesterol and those last few errands never seem to get done? This may be a simple deficiency of your thyroid.

Remember: "Normal Does Not Mean Optimal"

Why feel your age if you can feel better? Our philosophy is that just because laboratory values fall within a “normal” range does not mean the levels are optimal or the best they can be. We believe that improving such values to an optimal range makes our clients just not normal or “average”, but feeling better than they have in many years.

We understand that the thyroid cannot be completely evaluated with just one blood test. The symptoms of low thyroid are the clients’ real concerns and therefore ours. We not only evaluate all aspects of thyroid conversion to energy but the individual symptoms our clients are experiencing.

Does your thyroid need to be optimized?

While some buy into the myth that testosterone therapy may increase the risk of breast cancer, studies show that instead of increasing a woman's risk for the disease. taking testosterone may actually help prevent breast cancer. Other benefits of testosterone is that women may experience improved focus and mental clarity, reduced fatigue, reduced anxiety, improved bone density and increases in lean muscle mass.

Understanding Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition in which your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. Hashimoto’s often leads to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Blood test such as Microsomal Antibodies (TPO) can be conducted to detect antibodies against TPO in the blood. TPO is an enzyme that plays a role in the production of thyroid gland.

Understanding Graves’ Disease

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects overproduction of the thyroid. The immune system makes antibodies that act like the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), causing the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs (hyperthyroidism). An overactive thyroid causes every function of the body to speed up.
