About Thyroid Disease

Your thyroid gland essentially manages your metabolism — it’s like a gas pedal for your body. The hormones produced by your thyroid directly impact nearly all of your organs.

Your T3 hormone is crucial for cellular function. Your body converts about 80% of your other thyroid hormone, T4, into T3. However, sometimes your body is not able to do this conversion successfully, and that leads to too-little T3 and many frustrating symptoms.

Hypothyroidism

There are a number of possible symptoms connected to hypothyroidism. These include:

Many hypothyroidism sufferers have multiple symptoms, or even most of these symptoms at some point.

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism can cause a variety of symptoms including:

Hyperthyroidism symptoms are generally the opposite of hypothyroidism symptoms. Hyperthyroidism sufferers often have several or possibly all of these symptoms at one time.

Treatments

If you have unbalanced thyroid hormones, bringing your T3 and T4 levels into balance is usually the first concern. Your Wellness 1^st Integrative Medical Center doctor begins with a series of precise tests to determine the degree of your hormonal imbalance. This may include blood, saliva, and stool tests.

You correct your hormone levels through recommended adjustments. Your doctor does a full nutritional analysis, which includes looking for connected issues like gluten intolerance, allergies, and vitamin deficiencies. Once you know your connected issues, you can make specific dietary changes to correct thyroid hormone issues.

In some cases, you may also need special supplements, including an all-natural thyroid hormone replacement, to help you balance your thyroid hormones properly. Wellness 1^st takes the whole-body approach to your wellness, meaning you’ll enjoy relief not only from thyroid problems but also from other problems plaguing your body.
