Thyroid Therapy

Restoring Balance With Thyroid Treatment

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that play a part in many body processes, including growth and development, body temperature, water regulation, and metabolism.

Healthy thyroid function is important for energy, achieving and maintaining an ideal weight and supporting overall health and a general sense of vitality.

Hypothyroidism & Its Effects

Approximately 200 million people worldwide are affected by thyroid disorders. Thyroid disease is more common in women and the risk increases with age. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) may affect as many as 1 in 7 adults.

Hypothyroidism Symptoms

When the thyroid gland is underactive, the metabolism slows down and you may suffer from symptoms such as:

Our Unique Philosophy to Treating the Thyroid

Most physicians prescribe synthetic T4 for their hypothyroid patients. This may adequately treat some patients. However, this approach is inappropriate for patients who have difficulty converting T4 to T3 or a high level of inactive T3. 

AgeRejuvenation helps to not only replace the thyroid hormone, but also provides guidance for nutrition to help the thyroid function optimally. Many patients improve using only nonprescription interventions!

Some may need thyroid hormone temporarily, while others need long term thyroid replacement. Our physicians will make recommendations to improve your thyroid function and help you feel your best.

Addressing Thyroid Health With Different Angles

The bottom line is that nutrition, stress management, and exercise are the keys to your well-being and optimal thyroid function is hard-pressed without them. Beyond this foundation, you may still need thyroid hormone replacement, and this is something you should discuss with your healthcare provider.

Many patients in our practice improve using non-prescription thyroid interventions, but for some, thyroid hormone replacement is absolutely crucial. In these cases we recommend alternative thyroid treatments as a compliment, rather than a substitute, for thyroid medication.

The Importance of Thyroid Testing

It is important to have blood tests that provide a complete picture of your thyroid function. We measure levels of T4 and T3 production, assess how well the thyroid uses T3 and check whether thyroid antibodies are present. All these measurements are essential in choosing the appropriate treatment.

The thyroid predominantly produces thyroxine (T4) which is then converted by the liver to the active form of thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine (T3). 

Hypothyroidism may be caused by the inadequate production of T4, but difficulty converting T4 into T3 can also be responsible. Inadequate T4 production may be caused by nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune thyroid disease, and adrenal stress.
