Have you been told your thyroid is normal but when looking at a symptom checklist for thyroid conditions you have every symptom? Symptoms of hypothryoidism (not enough thyroid hormone) include: cold intolerance, difficulty losing weight, brittle nails, hair loss, thinning of outer edges of your eyebrows, and difficulty getting pregnant. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone) include, increased heart rate, sweating and hot all the time, loss of weight without trying, and rapid thought and speech processes.
Looking only at a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test is not enough to evaluate how your thyroid is functioning. In addition, the TSH is often misread as normal because you fall in the "normal" range. At Vitruvia, we routinely test a complete thyroid profile looking at the conversion of your thyroid hormone as well as thyroid antibodies. If a thyroid problem has been determined, we optimize the thyroid with replacement of T4 and T3 formulas that are dosed in similar ratios as your body produces. Traditional medications like Synthroid and Levothyroxine are only T4 replacements. Our patients feel better when T3 is added. In addition, interventions to help slow the destruction of your thyroid are recommended if you have antibodies to your thyroid (known as Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid Disease).
