Closer look at Thyroid

The thyroid gland is involved in many messaging systems in each of us. Some of these systems include: heart rate, energy production as well as gut motility, digestion and even cholesterol levels.

Both of these pathways are generally treated locally, never seeking ROOT CAUSE. Did you know chronic stress can increase your Reverse T3? The concern here is it looks like Free T3 but does not have the same action. This ‘fake out’ is what is called a stress induced thyroid condition. There are many examples like this, where if we treat the thyroid directly, we will continue to chase symptoms.

Thyroid conditions can be complicated, therefore measuring the appropriate markers is essential. This example will offer insight to the complexity of thyroid dysfunction. Measuring all markers associated with thyroid function is essential to determine the root cause of dysfunction.
