Your thyroid hormone is a metabolic hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. This hormone regulates temperature, metabolism and cerebral function, which results in increased energy, temperature and warmth. It can increases fat breakdown resulting in weight loss as well as lowering cholesterol. Additionally, this hormone improves cerebral metabolism and prevents cognitive impairment. It relieves symptoms of thin, sparse hair, dry skin and thin nails. Believe it or not, your thyroid affects every cell in your body.
Conditions involving thyroid malfunction have significantly increased over the last few decades. Do we have more education about thyroid disease? Why do we seem to have so many people—particularly women—with thyroid problems? The causes of thyroid imbalance are multi-factorial and range from diet and lifestyle to environmental or pharmaceutical toxins. Conventional pharmaceutical treatments may result in normal thyroid lab results—but a patient that still feels terrible. All hormones interact within a complex web-like interface, and the thyroid is particularly sensitive to vibrations and aberrations along this “web”. Because of its sensitivity, the thyroid is often the first indicator that something is out of balance, but it may also be an innocent bystander in a web of hormonal chaos. The doctors at Balanced Hormones and Health will work with you to understand and restore your hormonal balance.

At Balanced Hormones and Health we treat a variety of thyroid imbalances using only bioidentical hormones. Many patients come to us because they have asked their conventional doctors about thyroid treatments but were denied because their ranges fell within the normal limits. BH2 does not only look at your TSH levels but also your T3 and T4 levels giving a bigger overall picture. We also like to get your levels to the optimal range instead of just settling for “normal”.
If you have symptoms of hypothyroid or hyperthyroid, you should take our thyroid imbalance assessment tests to get a better understanding of this condition.
