Thyroid Optimization
Do you struggle with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or weight gain despite following a healthy diet and lifestyle? These could be signs of an imbalanced thyroid, known as hypothyroidism or sub-clinical hypothyroidism.
Thyroid hormone plays a vital role in the body's metabolism and overall physical and mental health. The thyroid gland converts iodine to T3 (active thyroid hormones) and T4 (inactive thyroid hormone), which are released in the blood stream and target organs. Some of the benefits of thyroid hormone include:
1. Regulating energy levels: Thyroid hormone helps to increase the rate at which cells burn energy, which can help to regulate the body's energy levels.
2. Supporting growth and development: Thyroid hormone is essential for the proper growth and development of the body's organs and tissues.
3. Maintaining a healthy weight: Thyroid hormone helps to regulate the body's metabolism, which can play a role in maintaining a healthy weight.
4. Supporting heart health: Thyroid hormone helps to regulate the heart rate and blood pressure, which can support overall heart health.
5. Promoting brain function: Thyroid hormone is important for the proper functioning of the brain and may help to improve cognitive function.
6. Supporting bone health: Thyroid hormone plays a role in the development and maintenance of healthy bones.
7. Boosting the immune system: Thyroid hormone helps to support the immune system and may help to protect against infections.
Natural, or bioidentical thyroid replacement options, such as Armour thyroid and NP Thyroid, offer a combination of desiccated T3 and T4 from pig thyroid gland. These options have proven to be the safer, and more effective option, to replace and optimize thyroid hormones - compared to common synthetic thyroid medications.
