THYROID
Thyroid hormone is essential for life. Proper thyroid levels are needed for optimal functioning. Conventional medicine replaces thyroid only when indirect laboratory measurements indicate that it is low. At SLO Aging Institute, we perform more elaborate thyroid testing including measuring the free thyroid hormone, which is the active hormone available to the cells in our body. In addition, we also carefully measure the basal body temperature which is the ultimate indicator of whether we are hyper or hypothyroid. Many times, replacement of human growth hormone or testosterone to more youthful levels creates a greater need for thyroid hormone. In these cases, we add thyroid hormone replacement to our regimen.
