What Thyroid Balancing Therapy Actually Does
To best understand why Thyroid Balancing Therapy can be beneficial, it is important to understand thyroid hormones and how they affect the body. Thyroid hormones are chemicals produced by the thyroid gland in the neck and can affect every cell in the body. The thyroid gland produces three thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and calcitonin, which help to control many important functions in the body like energy production, metabolism, and body temperature.
When the thyroid produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), the body’s processes speed up, leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. On the other hand, if the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormone (hypothyroidism), the body slows down, causing fatigue, weight gain, and depression. An imbalance in thyroid hormones can affect energy levels, mood, weight, and many other aspects of health. Both T3 and T4 levels can gradually decline with age.
The American Society of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) estimates that 30 million Americans have some kind of thyroid disorder. Additionally, the AACE estimates that about half of the people with thyroid disorders go undiagnosed, with 37% of those under treatment taking the incorrect dose.
At BHRC, we believe that every individual living with thyroid hormone imbalance should be properly treated. Because of this, we offer personalized thyroid balancing therapy, which involves a daytime and nighttime thyroid medication protocol to help maintain thyroid hormone levels throughout the day.
