The Benefits of Thyroid and Hormone Optimization

You’ve known something hasn’t been quite right in your body for a while. Perhaps you’ve been feeling extra tired, experiencing inexplicable weight gain, or having a consistently tough time concentrating. Have you considered that your thyroid and/or hormone optimization levels could be out of balance?

It’s possible you may have even had your doctor check your thyroid and been told that it’s functioning normally. The thing is, standard tests can miss out on detecting hidden thyroid issues, leaving many people continuing to struggle without a clear solution. 

At the Albano Clinic here in Utah, we’ve helped others like you reclaim their lives with optimization of thyroid and other hormones (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT). With our whole body wellness approach, we’re a thyroid clinic, hormone clinic, and BHRT clinic all in one (and a lot more!). We walk with you to discover the root of your problem and develop a personalized treatment plan to get you back to the lifestyle you love. 

So how can thyroid and BHRT help? Read on as we share its key benefits, and imagine how much better life could be if you experienced these benefits yourself. As we get started, it’s important to first discuss the problems you could be facing with imbalanced thyroid levels. 

 

The Challenges of Imbalanced Thyroid Levels

Though small, the thyroid gland is an important part of your body that impacts numerous physiological processes. Collaborating with your brain and bloodstream to release hormones, your thyroid helps regulate vital functions such as body temperature, mood, energy levels, and metabolism.

 

However, culprits such as aging, thyroid disease, diabetes, lifestyle choices, and extreme stress can lead to imbalanced thyroid and hormone levels. This imbalance can impact both women AND men. When your hormones are not at optimal levels, you’re at greater risk of heart disease and certain cancers, and you can experience a number of symptoms:

• Increased fatigue or lack of energy
• Hair loss or thinning
• Weight gain
• Poor learning and memory capabilities
• Reduced sex drive and painful intercourse
• Feeling cold all the time
• Reduced muscle mass
• Dry skin, increased wrinkles, and fine lines
• Anxiety, depression, and mood swings

As you can see, when your thyroid and hormones aren’t functioning optimally, you simply aren’t healthy. This is where optimization of your thyroid and BHRT can really help. Here are some of the benefits you can experience with our personalized thyroid and BHRT treatments:

1. Achieve optimal hormone levels in your body…and finally, address the root causes of your struggles

As a BHRT clinic, we specialize in providing thyroid and hormone replacement medications that bring your poor or even “normal” hormone levels to truly optimal and thriving. This allows your body to keep your overall health in proper balance. With optimal levels of estrogen and testosterone, you’ll not only start feeling better and moving better but living better too.

And some of you may have been struggling for years with the symptoms associated with imbalanced hormones, as well as the nagging frustration of not knowing what’s causing these issues. With optimization of your thyroid and BHRT, you’re able to finally address the root causes of your symptoms once and for all. Can you imagine the peace of mind you’ll experience knowing you’re getting the real help you’ve been seeking all this time? The clarity for your health awaits! 

 

       2. Fight back against unhealthy complications

Did you notice the long list of symptoms associated with poor thyroid function and sub-optimal hormone levels? These symptoms can sometimes lead to serious issues. With optimal hormone levels, you’re able to stave off these health complications, including heart disease, vertebral fractures, and increased mortality. For women specifically, progesterone treatment can help address symptoms of menopause and reduce the risk of developing uterine cancer. 

In addition, optimization of your thyroid and BHRT helps to increase fat breakdown, leading to medical weight loss, as well as decreased cholesterol. With proper hormone balance, you’re also protecting yourself from future weight gain. Not only this, you’re better able to build muscle and stronger bones as well. You can even obtain thicker hair growth and healthier skin! Maybe breaking out that swimsuit you used to love is closer than you think! 

 

    3. Boost your energy and revive your libido

If chronic or extreme fatigue has been a part of your daily life, take note: optimization of your thyroid and BHRT can help increase your energy levels. If you find yourself tired all the time, even after getting sleep, optimizing your thyroid could be just what you need. Instead of languishing on the sidelines of life, you can regain the energy you need to pursue the activities you love most.

Along with an energy boost, optimization of your sex hormones can increase your sex drive and help alleviate painful intercourse. As part of our treatment plans, we offer natural supplements like DHEA that can also help in this area. 

 

    4. Improve your mental health—and feel like yourself again

Hormonal imbalances can often produce brain fog, memory complications, and cognitive challenges. These suboptimal levels can also lead to anxiety, a lack of motivation, mood swings, and depression. By optimizing your body’s hormone levels, you can focus more clearly, protect yourself from memory loss, and increase your sense of wellbeing. Optimization of your thyroid can restore balance to your brain function and most importantly, can help you feel like yourself again.
