It can be
challenging to lose weight when you have hypothyroidism, your thyroid medications may have
something to do with it. Getting the dose just right is critical, as is the timing of when you
take it. In some cases, you may need to supplement with another medication. For the sake of your
overall health, as well as your weight-loss efforts, we work with you to get the most out of
thyroid hormone therapy.
In addition to aiding weight loss efforts the thyroid gland
that regulates blood circulation, body temperature, metabolism and cerebral function. It
contributes to energy levels, temperature regulation, and body warmth. It increases fat
breakdown, resulting in weight loss as well as lowering cholesterol. It protects against
cardiovascular disease, improves cerebral metabolism and helps to prevent cognitive impairment.
Thyroid hormone is probably the safest and most beneficial cholesterol lowering agent, yet it is
infrequently used for this. Thyroid function is best evaluated by laboratory levels along with
clinical correlation of symptoms to indicate primary hypothyroidism and tertiary hypothyroidism.
