Do you wake up tired? Are you so tired at the end of your workday that you just want to sink into the couch and be done? Fatigue is the number one reason patients come to LowTE Florida – followed by weight gain. You’re getting older. Maybe you are a bit heavier than you used to be ~ possibly some brain fog? Is your hair thinning? A sluggish thyroid can lead to increased body fat and affect your energy level, mood, hair, mental clarity, and overall sense of well-being.
The thyroid gland is in the center at the base of your neck. Thyroid hormones are important for regulation of body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, metabolism, hair growth, dry/itchy skin, constipation and much more.
Many times, optimizing thyroid hormones can increase energy and mental clarity for both men and women. A simple blood test can prove that it isn’t your fault ~ you just are simply not producing as much thyroid as you did a few years back – which is “normal” but not “optimal” for good health.
Traditional medicine practitioners tend to rely on only one blood test to evaluate the thyroid, the TSH. At LowTE Florida, we dig a little deeper, checking on the thyroid hormones that are being utilized throughout your body (T3 & T4), not just the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which just indicates what is going on between your thyroid gland and your brain. For a better description, go to LowTEFlorida.com and look for my interview with Endocrinologist Gary Pepper, MD.
Hormone and thyroid replacement therapy have been getting a lot of attention lately. Many practitioners go to a weekend course and add BHRT to their practice without the in-depth knowledge and passion that Carolyn Zaumeyer, NP has. At LowTE Florida, we are dedicated hormone experts who utilize science, not guesswork. Call for a FREE Consultation!
