BIO-IDENTICAL THYROID HORMONE SUPPLEMENTATION

Picture
Low Thyroid - Hypothyroidism Fatigued, depressed? More than likely, it’s not the weather or the moon but it could be related to hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland is the metabolic governor of the body. When the thyroid gland is sluggish or under active, or when thyroid hormone is not well assimilated by the cells of the body, then you may experience a slowing of your metabolism. A sluggish metabolism can lead to multiple symptoms and increased health risks.  

One of the most important services provided to guests is listening. We take time to ask detailed questions and to listen to your symptoms and conditions. By doing so, we can often identify problems which do not show up on routine blood tests. A blood test reveals the levels of various hormones, minerals, proteins, and antibodies only at a single moment in time. Levels may vary significantly from lab to lab. Diet, exercise, or medications can affect the results.

A blood test alone does not accurately depict or correlate with your overall health.

However, the description of your symptoms is a very accurate and helpful source of information needed to successfully treat you and place you on a path of health and wellness. You receive the most benefit from a treatment regimen based upon your clinical history, a list of symptoms, basal body temperature, and 24-hour urinalysis as opposed to relying strictly on the results of a particular blood test.

The natural treatment of hypothyroidism is desiccated thyroid (Armour Thyroid) or compounded bio-identical thyroid replacement. If symptoms of low thyroid persist, then the dosage is increased incrementally until your symptoms are resolved.

Treatment of this condition If symptoms of low thyroid persist, then the dosage is increased or decreased depending upon your symptoms, Basal Body Temperature and Free Thyroxine (T4) levels. The dosage of thyroid hormone will be based primarily on symptoms rather than blood values.  The blood levels are used as a guideline.

Replacement with both Armour and Compounded Thyroid are of the identical thyroid molecules, which our body produces, T3 and T4. The thyroid hormone will not have an immediate effect; do not expect resolution of symptoms until you have been on the correct dosage for 2-3 weeks.
