Do you ever complain of being tired all the time, depressed, unable to lose weight, hair loss or cold hands and feet? If you talked to your doctor, they probably told you that it could be related to your thyroid. After doing blood work, they probably came back and told you that it was “normal”.
That is because the doctors often rely solely on a blood test that is a snapshot of what is truly going on in your body. Our doctors listen to your symptoms and combine that with your blood test results to fully diagnose your condition.
The Thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, over the trachea, or windpipe, just below the larynx. But, despite its tiny size, it has tremendous responsibilities! It is the gland that affects virtually all metabolic processes. It does this by releasing certain hormones, which in turn regulate the body's metabolism, temperature, and heart rate. If the thyroid is not functioning at its optimal level, neither are you.
If it is determined that you need thyroid replacement therapy, we will give you a natural therapy that will work with both your T3 and your T4 receptors. We have found that synthetic supplementation only affects your T4 receptors and that does not allow your thyroid to work at its optimal level.
Test yourself to see if you might have low thyroid function.
If your total score is less than 10 points, it is not likely that you have low thyroid. Scoring between 11-30 points indicates low thyroid as a possibility. A score above 30 points would suggest that low thyroid is very likely.
