Do you have sub-clinical hypothyroidism?

Many women in their 50's experience symptoms of lethargy, hair thinning or loss, malaise, cold extremities, slowed heart rate and/or weight gain.  The most common complaints I have heard in my practice are cold hands and feet and thinning hair.  After having their thyroid tested, the blood levels appear, "normal."  First, what is "normal" for one person is not necessarily "normal" for the next; this appears to be overlooked by many primary care doctors.  Second, just because the thyroid hormone levels are within normal limits, doesn't mean that a person's thyroid is functioning, optimally.  If you are experiencing any or all of the above-mentioned symptoms, there is an excellent chance that you have a low-functioning thyroid, also known as sub-clinical hypothyroidism.

Too frequently, women are immediately put on synthetic thyroid if they show the above symptoms.  Once put on a synthetic thyroid, your own thyroid shuts down and, eventually, never functions, again.  Another approach is to give the properly dosed homeopathic thyroid which, I have found, encourages the thyroid to begin functioning normally, in many cases. ( We have worked in concert with many patients' medical doctors who monitor blood levels to ensure that the thyroid is functioning normally.)

However, that being said, I have found that many times a low-functioning thyroid gland is not the primary culprit.   Surprisingly enough, many women who have been put on thyroid hormone replacement therapy still do not have the energy they once had, still are not sleeping well, still have trouble maintaining their desired weight and still have some thinning hair problems.  Sometimes, these women also find themselves getting sick more frequently than when they were younger, feeling nervous or depressed and experiencing hormonal imbalances such as significant mood swings and hot flashes.  In this case, we have found that the problem is with a segment of the autonomic nervous system.  This is the part of our nervous system that is responsible for all our biochemical and physiological functions.  The autonomic nervous system tells the thyroid what to do.  We have found in our practice that many people have what we have come to call, "Sympathetic hyper-stimulation Syndrome". 

You will not find this syndrome listed anywhere and it won't come up on "google."  It is a term we have coined after years of research and experience with those with persistent symptoms that just won't go away, no matter what has been tried.  Fortunately, there are protocols that we have developed that have been shown to offer effective nutritional support.
