Thyroid

Millions of women suffer from altered thyroid function.  We see
women with all the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction and their
blood tests came back normal. Where do they go from there? We
look at the thyroid as part of a hormone system and not as
conventional medicine which looks at the thyroid alone.

There are many causes to thyroid dysfunction including excessive
estrogen which blocks thyroid function. This is seen especially in
the menopause and peri-menopausal years.  The connection
between thyroid hormone imbalance and menopause is often
overlooked.

Liver dysfunction, insulin resistance and
adrenal fatigue can also
affect thyroid function and cause many of the same symptoms like
cold hands and feet, hair loss, fatigue, constipation, memory loss,
depression and many more.

In fact only about 20% of the women suffering from thyroid
symptoms suffer from primary thyroid problems. The other 80%
are suffering due to a primary problem elsewhere in the hormonal
system that is causing decrease thyroid function.

Testing salivary or blood levels of progesterone during the luteal
phase of the menstrual cycle can be of great value, so that gentle
replacement can be implemented if needed to reduce the negative
impact of excess estrogen on the thyroid.

We evaluate and, if appropriate,
test for adrenal function in
combination with thyroid testing.
