Thyroid Optimization
Thyroid Optimization
Your thyroid plays a critical role in regulating energy, metabolism, and overall health. Despite its small size, this butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck has a profound impact on how you feel. Many women experience symptoms of an underactive thyroid, but are told their lab results are "normal," leaving them feeling frustrated and without answers. Understanding thyroid optimization may be the key to feeling like yourself again.
What Is the Thyroid and What Does It Do?
The thyroid is a gland in the endocrine system responsible for producing hormones that regulate numerous bodily functions. Its primary hormones are:
-
Thyroxine (T4): A precursor hormone that is converted into the active form, T3.
-
Triiodothyronine (T3): The active hormone that regulates metabolism, energy production, and many other processes.
​
These hormones play a role in:
-
Metabolism: Regulating how your body converts food into energy.
-
Heart Rate: Controlling the speed of your heart.
-
Body Temperature: Keeping your body temperature stable.
-
Energy Levels: Impacting your stamina and overall vitality.
-
Brain Function: Supporting mental clarity and cognitive function.
​
When the thyroid isn’t working optimally, it can impact virtually every system in the body.
