THYROID
Be the Thyroid Detective In Your Health
Feeling tired, depressed, cold, constipated and gaining weight may be more than “just getting older”. You may have hypothyroidism. In contrast, if you have sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat, excess sweating, or nervousness you may have hyperthyroidism. There is nothing worse than not feeling well but being told you are fine. Up to 60% of people with thyroid disease don’t know it.
Optimal Health
THE REVIVELIFE APPROACH
Subclinical hypothyroidism which presents with normal T4 and T3 and elevated TSH is often a missed diagnosis, leaving individuals to suffer for years. This is due in large part to the broad range of normal range TSH on blood work (0.35-4.5 μIUmL).1-5 Revivelife suggests an optimal level of TSH between 1.0 and 2.0 μIUmL, as certain studies identify a TSH above 2.0 may be associated with heart disease and health risk.6
Our practitioners use advanced diagnostic testing a complete thyroid panel and hormones testing which is often not found at your traditional medical doctor’s office to determine what factors may be underlying your thyroid concerns.
The Revivelife approach may include the following therapies: fitness, nutrition (foods rich in iodine, selenium, zinc and vitamin A, supplements and or IV therapy), food sensitivities, hormone balancing both naturally, with desiccated thyroid or thyroid hormone replacement, targeted supplements, acupuncture and or stress management.
- Guggulsterones: Targeted therapy for hypothyroid may include guggulsterones (active component in guggul extract from the mukul myrrh tree) that supports thyroid function by increasing iodine update, T3 resin uptake, protein bound iodine, and free T4 levels in thyroid tissue. 7
