Thyroid Therapy

Thyroid therapy involves the treatment of thyroid disorders, which can include hypothyroidism (under active thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. Here’s a comprehensive overview:

What is Hypothyroidism?

The thyroid gland produces the thyroid hormone T4 that is then converted into the more active form of thyroid hormone T3. If the brain gets a signal that there is a need for more T4 thyroid hormone, it signals the pituitary gland to release TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) that then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce more T4. There are many reasons why a person will have inadequate T4 and/or T3 hormone available and this has a wide variety of effects on the body. If you feel cold much of the time, have trouble thinking clearly, are gaining weight, feel sluggish, have dry skin or thinning hair, you may be experiencing a deficiency of thyroid hormones and would benefit from thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The clinical term for this insufficiency is hypothyroidism.

At least 5 out of 100 Americans suffer from thyroid insufficiency, but millions of women are currently undiagnosed and unmanaged, so the real number is likely much higher. Thyroid dysfunction is much more common in women than men, especially if over 50 years old.

What Causes Thyroid Hormone Deficiency?

An autoimmune, inflammatory process called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Mineral deficiencies that interfere with production of T4 hormone and/or conversion of T4 to T3
Poor conversion of T4 to T3 from chronic stress, aging and other factors
Thyroid hormone resistance where there is adequate T4 and T3, but it is not utilized adequately by our cells and tissues

There are many underlying causes and contributors to thyroid hormone deficiency including pregnancy, a history of radiation to the neck, medication side effects, diet, gut health and others.

Benefits of Thyroid Therapy at Texas Vitality

Our patients experience a significant boost in energy levels, helping them feel more active, focused and productive throughout the day.

Thyroid Therapy can improve your ability to concentrate on tasks, improve memory and improve mood.

One of the most noticeable benefits of Thyroid Therapy can be a boost in energy, along with improved strength and endurance.

Regulating your thyroid helps with improved growth and quality of hair and nails. It also helps with skin, making it less dry, flaky and itchy.

Positive changes include lower cholesterol levels that lead to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, and protection from autoimmune diseases like diabetes and celiac disease.

Treating Thyroid insufficiency often leads to more regular menstrual cycles and bowel functioning.

Hypothyroidism Treatment

At Texas Vitality, we prescribe medication to replace missing or insufficient thyroid hormones. The process is very simple and includes a blood draw for a comprehensive lab panel, a consultation with one of our expert practitioners, either in person or via Telehealth, prescribing medication if necessary and then follow up and monitoring of your thyroid health.

Thyroid insufficiency requires careful and precise monitoring and treatment for the remainder of a patient’s life and better results can lead to better overall health in these individuals. For example, diseases like high cholesterol, heart disease, and nerve damage are known to follow untreated thyroid insufficiency, but treatment often demonstrates a reduction in these and other serious complications.

I have been a patient of Texas Vitality for over a year. And their clinic team is amazing and the providers are extremely knowledgable and answer my questions thoroughly. I would recommend them to needing or interested in learning more about low-t therapy for men.

Texas Vitality made me feel so comfortable. I was really nervous and unsure about what to do for my testosterone levels. Going to the gym and working out harder than before and not getting the same results was an absolute killer. My energy levels were not the same as before. The questions and concerns I had they answered them. They are kind and personable. I am so happy and grateful to them!

Since my enrollment in Texas Vitality’s hormone replacement therapy program, my experience has been exceptional. Sean, who is my central go-to contact for management and administration of my account is always congenial and super responsive to phone calls and email correspondence. PA, Matthew Rossomando, who acts as my essential clinician in discussing periodic lab reports, is patient, thorough and deeply knowledgeable of blood chemistry and HRT. Office staff are always pleasant and professional, with the in-house phlebotomist always getting it right the first try. Texas Vitality was my first choice for supplemental men’s healthcare, and it probably should be yours as well.
