Have you approached your physician, complained of fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, high cholesterol, depression, hair loss, menstrual abnormalities and a loss of libido among others?
Did you tell your physician that you think it might have something to do with your thyroid?
Did your doctor do a blood test and then tell you that the results showed that your thyroid levels were within the “normal range?”
At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we take a multi-tiered approach to treating hypothyroidism. We will perform a blood test to measure free thyroxine (free T4) and to determine whether thyroid antibodies are present.
We look at total cholesterol and LDL levels because these are often elevated in patients with hypothyroidism. However, our primary criterion for diagnosis — and for evaluating the effects of hypothyroidism treatment — is how the patient feels.
Your discussions with us combined with our medical examination and tests determine if thyroid supplementation might be of benefit to you. If this is the case, then we will recommend dessicated thyroid, a well-established, safe and effective thyroid preparation, rather than synthetic thyroid drugs which contain only T4, the inactive form of thyroid hormone.
If you have clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism, then we may recommend a therapeutic trial of desiccated thyroid unless you have a health condition that precludes this. We will monitor you and incrementally adjust your dose, checking your thyroid lab values, until your hypothyroid symptoms are resolved.
