In healthy people, the thyroid makes just the right amounts of two hormones, T3 and T4.

These hormones have important actions throughout the body. Most importantly, they regulate many aspects of our metabolism, affecting how many calories we burn, how warm we feel, how much we weigh and our general well-being.

​BOTTOM LINE: The thyroid gland can affect every cell in our body including our brain cells.

​There are thyroid hormone receptors on every cell in your body, including the brain.

Why We Are Different

Our comprehensive program evaluates and modifies the following:

What vitamins and minerals are you getting, and are they being absorbed effectively?

How are certain hormones like insulin, estrogen and testosterone affecting the thyroid?

How is the brain impacting the thyroid and vice-versa?

Do you have a leaky gut and is it affecting the thyroid?

Is your body able to eliminate toxins that impact the thyroid?

Is your body chemistry contributing to inflammation that causes pain and fatigue?

Which foods are hurting your body and impacting the immune system?

When we have low thyroid hormones, normal digestion in the stomach can slowed causing everything from bloating to constipation and possibly setting the stage for intestinal infections.

If the thyroid gland isn’t functioning optimally, the brain is affected as well. The brain and the thyroid gland work together – one cannot function alone. This can cause loss of memory, fuzzy thinking, anxiety, depression, and loss of sleep. With Hashimoto’s, the patient has an increased chance of developing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.​​
