Thyroid Treatment For Women

Our functional medicine practitioners think outside the conventional medical model. We feel that it’s important for hormone levels to be at their “optimal” levels not just within the average. A very similar approach is taken with your Sex hormones: Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone. At our anti-aging clinic, we look at the big picture and take a comprehensive look at your physiology to make sure it’s all functioning optimally. In many cases when sex hormone optimization is unable to alleviate some of the symptoms is due to thyroid issue that is also present.

Most medical practitioners will only look at the TSH when evaluating a patient’s thyroid. This is a huge issue for many patients. The TSH is not even your actual thyroid hormones but rather the hormone your brain releases to tell your thyroid gland to release more thyroid hormones. This TSH changes based on how much thyroid hormone is in the body, so it is a reliable marker to determine thyroid status. But there are also many issues that can arise that would not affect the level of the TSH: Testosterone and Estrogen status and inflammation for example. A practitioner would be able to even think of these things as potential issues when they have a very limited view of the thyroid status.

The number one cause of underactive thyroid in America is Hashimoto’s disease. In order to diagnose this disease a more comprehensive panel that includes thyroid antibodies is necessary. At Colorado Medical Solutions, if a patient isn’t responding the way they should be to therapy, a very comprehensive look at the thyroid is done in order to accurately determine the issues and provide natural therapies to solve these issues.
