An Overview of Thyroid Dysfunction
An estimated 20 million Americans have some type of thyroid dysfunction or disease, with 60% of these individuals being unaware of their thyroid health status (American Thyroid Association, 2018).
The adult thyroid gland weighs in at less than an ounce, but makes a big impact on overall health and wellness.
The goal of thyroid optimization is to provide a full laboratory evaluation of thyroid function, address underlying issues that can impact thyroid health, properly treat thyroid dysfunction, ensure that blood levels are OPTIMAL AND NOT JUST NORMAL, and provide the patient with a better understanding of their thyroid health status.
The Causes of Thyroid Dysfunction
Thyroid dysfunction is caused by a multitude of factors including: nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalance, toxins, stress, medications, poor diet, age, infections, inflammation, sleep deficit, and autoimmune disease. These factors can impact thyroid hormone production, leading to an imbalance in thyroid hormone levels in the body.
The Importance of Comprehensive Thyroid Care
Routine thyroid testing often does not capture a whole picture of thyroid health, leaving patients without answers and with troubling symptoms. The goal of thyroid optimization is to provide a full laboratory evaluation of thyroid function, address underlying issues that can impact thyroid health, properly treat thyroid dysfunction, ensure that blood levels are optimal and not just normal, and provide the patient with a better understanding of their thyroid health status.
