Addressing thyroid-related conditions: our holistic treatments bring balance and relief.
THYROID-RELATED CONDITIONS
Thyroid problems are often misdiagnosed and mistreated ... and women are often affected the most. Over 80 % of our patients who have a thyroid problem were not being treated properly!
Does this sound familiar? Your labs come back “Normal” and yet you still feel tired, achy, cold, depressed and mentally sluggish. I can’t tell you how many people have been told to ”go home, get some rest, your blood work looks normal, you are probably just over-worked.”
Or even worse, you are put on thyroid hormone replacement and you still have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, but your lab tests show that your thyroid levels are good. And worst of all it’s difficult to get anyone to listen to you. So now what do you do?
Here are some common symptoms:
Feeling Tired
Mentally fatigued/sluggish
Can’t lose weight even with exercise
Feel cold—hands, feet, or all over
Require excessive amounts of sleep to function properly
Increase in weight gain even with low-calorie diet
Gain weight easily
Difficult, infrequent bowel movements
Depression, lack of motivation
Morning headaches that wear off as the day progresses
Outer third of eyebrow thins
Thinning of hair on scalp, face or genitals or hair loss
Dryness of skin and/or scalp
Nervousness and emotional
Insomnia
Night sweats
It doesn’t have to be that way. We have found that most will have only two tests done (TSH and T4) to determine if they have a thyroid problem. While these tests may offer a simple screening for thyroid function they don’t offer the complete picture! Did you know there are well over 20+ ways that your thyroid can go bad? And, only one of those ways will respond to typical replacement therapy. Not everyone fits into the replacement model of treatment. Modern approaches allow us to dial in to your specific needs.
There is a delicate dance that goes on with all the hormone systems and the thyroid plays a key role in your metabolism and energy. Don’t go on feeling frustrated. We will listen to your concerns and chart a course to get you back on track. Comprehensive blood work and functional neurological analysis will help us determine the shortest path to getting you better.
