What Is The Thyroid?
The thyroid is the key to how your body uses and regulates it’s energy
The thyroid is a vitally important hormone that plays a large role in the energy metabolism of our cells. It helps control the rate at which our body uses energy sources, and can play a role in weight gain. Hormones secreted by your thyroid interact with all of your other hormones including insulin, sex hormones, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.
If you want to look and feel good, maintaining the health of the thyroid is of critical importance. Too much or to little from this gland can mean bad things for your health either way.
Having a doctor that understands the thyroid and can optimize it’s function can mean the difference between feeling great or feeling lousy. Dr. Nancy has has worked with countless thyroid patients over the years, and has developed a reputation as a thyroid optimization specialist.
Hypothyroidism
Often misdiagnosed, this condition affects millions of American and most are unaware of it
Research shows ten to forty percent of Americans are affected by suboptimal thyroid performance, the majority of which are middle aged women.
Hypothyroidism occurs when your body produces too little thyroid hormone, which is commonly associated with iodine deficiency. Many people that suffer from hypothyroidism show no obvious symptoms in lab tests, causing the condition to go undiagnosed. That means only a small number of individuals that suffer from hypothyroidism get treatment, while the majority remain unaware.
While it takes an expert like Dr. Nancy to diagnose hypothyroidism, symptoms often include lack of energy, weight gain, rough or dry skin, hair loss, cold sensitivity, and low body temperature. If you suspect your thyroid is not operating at optimum levels and you live in the Canton, Akron or Cleveland areas of Northeastern Ohio, please contact us today.
