    HORMONE OPTIMIZATION

    Thyroid Hormone Therapy

    The thyroid gland makes two hormones that are essential for all cells in your body to function: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Our Thyroid medications restore these hormone levels to improve energy, metabolism, skin, hair, and more.

    • Regulates energy and metabolism

    • Improved hair, skin and nail quality

    Product Information

    Who it's for
    If you're experiencing signs of hypothyroidism, or low thyroid levels, your clinician will order a hormone test to confirm if your thyroid levels are out of range. Typical symptoms of low thyroid levels can include:

  • Low energy

  • Weight gain

  • Cold intolerance

  • Dry skin and brittle nails

    • Benefits
    Thyroid hormone therapy can help improve:

  • Energy

  • Skin, hair, nails 

  • Joint pains/muscle aches

  • Gastrointestinal function

  • Fertility and menstrual function 

  • Cholesterol

    • What to expect
    Results:

  • While some people report feeling better within a week of taking thyroid hormone therapy, others need to be on the medication for a few weeks to experience improvement.

  • After 6 weeks of treatment, you should experience substantial improvements in your symptoms and overall health.

    • Downsides:
    Thyroid hormone therapy is a generally well-tolerated medication, but getting the right dose is essential. If you’re not taking the correct dose, you might experience signs of hyperthyroidism (or overactive thyroid) which include:

  • Anxiety

  • Increased heart rate and heart palpitations

  • Diarrhea

  • Jitteriness

    How to use

    When
    It's best to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You’ll want to wait 30-60 minutes before eating anything, since food can affect how the medication is absorbed.
    How
    Take the amount directed by your clinician. Be sure to avoid other medications that prevent absorption, such as antacids.
    Good to know
    At Modern Age, we offer three different types of thyroid medication: Synthroid (Levothyroxine), Armour Thyroid, and Cytomel. Your clinician will help determine which one is best for you.

    What our experts say

    “The thyroid gland is critical for overall health, regulating many bodily functions by constantly releasing thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. If your thyroid is less active and the thyroid hormones are low, anything else you do to address your symptoms is going to be limited.”

    ~ Dr. Anant Vinjamoori, MD
