Thyroid hormone—your survival depends on it.  Thyroid hormone significantly affects metabolic rate and body temperature.

As we aged, thyroid levels sometimes decrease.  Low thyroid levels cause decreased body temperature, lower-than-normal metabolism, increased cholesterol and increased body fat.  Often undetected in traditional medicine, low thyroid levels make it fiendishly difficult to lose weight and can contribute to sluggishness, low energy and depression.

Recent studies reveal that most patients with thyroid hormone disorders experience some sexual dysfunctions, which can be reversed by normalizing thyroid hormone levels.  Despite the associated changes in sex hormone levels, the high prevalence of ejaculatory disorders and their prompt reversibility suggest a direct involvement of thyroid hormones in the physiology of ejaculation.  Since low thyroid isn’t correct, maintaining other activity in the healthy range goes hand in hand with healthy cholesterol.

Appropriate T3 levels must be established (before statin drugs are considered) to understand the true need for additional therapy.

Much of the thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland is in T4 form. T4, a major hormone needed to control basal metabolic rate, increases enzyme secretions and is connected to cell energy production.  T4 is converted to T3, the active hormone.

Thyroid hormone supplementation, an inexpensive simple process, restores T3 and T4 cells to their natural ratio and blood concentrations.
