ORGAN SYSTEMS

HYPOTHALAMUS , PITUITARY & THYROID

The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT axis) is part of the endocrine system responsible for the regulation of metabolism. When metabolism is too low weight gain occurs. When metabolism is too high weight loss occurs.

When there are too low levels of circulating levels of thyroid hormone ( T3 & T4) the following communication occurs:

The hypothalamus is the master gland and secretes thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) to trigger the pituitary.

The pituitary is then stimulated to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a response to the hypothalamus.

The thyroid then releases T3 & T4 which control metabolism until the levels in the blood return to normal. The Thyroid hormone exerts negative feed back control over the hypothalamus as well as anterior pituitary thus controlling the release of both TRH from hypothalamus and TSH from anterior pituitary gland.

Estrogen also has an influence on thyroid hormones as when estrogen dominance exists or high levels of estrogen the thyroid function is reduced and weight gain is common.

Often the symptoms of thyroid imbalance occur long before lab results indicate hyper or hypothyroid state. It is important to be assessed properly to pick up on potential sub clinical thyroid states.

Metabolic Urine Testing ( MUT)- recommended annually
