Thyroxine

Thyroid hormones are essential and primary regulators of the body’s metabolism. Imbalances can significantly affect every metabolic process and have a notable impact on mood and energy production. Thyroid hormones promote metabolism and growth, increase the excitability of the nervous system, and regulate body temperature. They are secreted in response to cold or stress.

Main Functions of the Thyroid
Regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats	Blood Circulation
The utilization of vitamins	Oxygen utilization rate
Regulating body temperature and Energy production	Hormone secretion
Digestive function	Sexual function and Fertility
Muscle and Nerve vitality

An imbalance in thyroid hormones can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, depression, heat intolerance, cold sensitivity, constipation, poor skin condition, headaches, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual irregularities, edema, obesity, anxiety/panic, memory decline, difficulty concentrating, muscle and joint pain, and decreased libido.

Thyroid and OAT 
The relationship between the thyroid, ovaries, and adrenal glands is complex. The body regulates physiological functions through the interactions within the OAT (Ovarian-Adrenal-Thyroid) axis. The thyroid influences the production of SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), prolactin, and GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone), affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility. Thyroid hormones also stimulate estrogen secretion in the ovaries. Additionally, when the adrenal glands experience fatigue and cortisol levels rise, many organ systems, including the ovaries, thyroid, and pancreas, may be affected. Thyroid hormone secretion is disrupted, blood pressure becomes unstable, blood sugar fluctuates significantly, and emotional issues such as anxiety may arise. How to regulate the Ovarian-Adrenal-Thyroid (OAT) axis is a crucial issue we must address.

The important information provided by Thyroid Hormone Analysis is as follows

• Primary or secondary thyroid dysfunction is associated with symptoms such as fatigue, depression, cold intolerance or cold extremities, hair loss, headaches, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), irregular menstruation, edema, unexplained weight gain or loss, anxiety/panic, memory decline, muscle and joint pain, low libido, and infertility.
• Hypothyroidism caused by malnutrition, heavy metal exposure, adrenal stress, enzyme deficiencies, and other chronic diseases is commonly referred to as Euthyroid Sick Syndrome (ESS), Low T3 Syndrome, or Wilson’s Syndrome. This is distinct from hypothyroidism caused by thyroid diseases, which is also known as Nonthyroidal Illness (NTI).
• Thyroid autoantibodies can be used to assess autoimmune responses, metabolic disorders, and whether thyroid function is underactive or overactive. These autoantibodies can interfere with thyroid receptors, triggering inflammatory reactions, such as in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, or postpartum thyroiditis.
• Develop a personalized treatment plan: based on test results, incorporate dietary adjustments, stress reduction, lifestyle changes, and/or the use of nutritional supplements.
