A Comprehensive Overview of The Thyroid Gland and Thyroid Hormones
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that can be felt by placing your hand directly underneath your Adam’s apple. Despite its minimal size as an endocrine gland, this particular gland secretes two individual types of thyroid hormones to ensure optimal functioning of your entire body. As a vital organ, it contributes contributing to your overall health through the proper secretions of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones into your bloodstream, it’s critical for your thyroid gland to release these hormones in the correct amounts properly. As T3 and T4 hormones enter into the bloodstream, they indirectly feed blood cells that assist your entire body in functioning at optimal performance levels.
Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) feed blood cells to assist your metabolism in your daily life. Too much of the hormones being released or too little can cause your body to work in overdrive or underdrive. This can create an imbalance within your body and contribute to noticeable symptoms that may impacts your quality of life.
For patients struggling with hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
- Excessive weight gain.
- Brain fog.
- Hair loss.
- Lack of energy.
- Depression.
- Temperature regulation issues.
- Susceptibility to colds and infections.
For patients struggling with hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
- Weight loss.
- Temperature regulation issues.
- Rapid heart rate.
- Hair loss.
- Sleep disturbances.
- Anxiety.
- Susceptibility to colds and infections.
Contributing Factors to Thyroid Problems
Autoimmune disorders, underlying medical conditions, postpartum complications, aging, and general iodine deficiencies can all be considered potential contributors to thyroid problems. While autoimmune disorders can be diagnosed through laboratory tests, patients with under or overactive thyroid symptoms can go undiagnosed due to their blood work falling into medically-deemed “normal” ranges. Additionally, age-related thyroid decline is often under-diagnosed within the medical community.
When laboratory values fall into a “normal” category, patients are often left feeling frustrated and undertreated while the quality of their everyday life continues to decline due to thyroid-related symptoms. Our patients benefit from alleviated thyroid-related symptoms and a return to a higher-quality way of life by seeking out our Thyroid Hormone Optimization program. For many patients, this makes all of the difference between having enough energy to play with their children or being able to go out to a restaurant for an evening meal.
Thyroid Hormone Statistics and Solutions
Patients experiencing medically diagnosed under or overactive thyroid symptoms are commonly prescribed synthetic T4 as a cure-all method throughout America. A recent study performed by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that by solely introducing synthetic T4 to older adults with hypothyroidism without incorporating T3 medicine led to no noticeable alleviation of symptoms among research participants. At LifeXMD, our Thyroid Hormone Optimization program is tailored to each individual on a case-by-case basis to provide comprehensive licensed medical solutions to alleviate under or overworking thyroid symptoms. Through Thyroid Hormone Optimization, patients may experience a complete stabilization of their symptoms or total alleviation.
