Often someone will call our office saying that they think they
may have a problem with their adrenal or thyroid gland, stating
further that their primary care doctor has tested them and said
they were fine. Yet, they remain unconvinced, as they still have
symptoms such as:
|
- Brittle nails
- Frequent colds
- Menstrual irregularities
- Palpitations
|
- Diminished energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor memory
- Sleep disturbances
- Constipation
|
- Depressed or irritable mood
- Panic attacks
- Anxiety
- Cold hands & feet
|
Proper glandular function cannot be investigated accurately with
one or two blood tests alone. To fully evaluate a patient for
hypothyroid and or hypoadrenal function, all of these factors
must be assessed:
- Ability of the glands to produce thyroid hormones properly
- Ability of the body to absorb essential nutrients needed to
support hormones
- Receptivity of the body’s tissues to the hormones
- Function of the associated glands
- Body levels of toxic metals and yeast
- Stress levels
- Amount of rest and adequacy of nutrition
- Presence of autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland
To truly understand the function of theses all-important glands,
you need to seek out a physician who addresses all of these
factors in her assessment.
