As we age, our hormones have different effects on our bodies! In our youth these are mostly positive. However, when we reach our 30’s & 40’s the natural decline in hormone production can have a negative impact on our overall health. Hormones are specific molecules made by our endocrine glands. A hormonal imbalance can inhibit your body’s ability to maintain good metabolism and ideal body weight. Join Dr. Hotze today as he explains the function of hormones in our body and how their imbalance can have a direct impact on our weight and overall health. Many women unknowingly are estrogen dominant, which adversely affects the body’s ability to properly utilize thyroid. Low thyroid leads to low energy, which leads to low metabolism, which leads to increased weight.

The one hormone in your body that produces energy is Thyroid! As we age, so many of our hormone levels decline, including Thyroid. Unfortunately, hypothyroidism is commonly undiagnosed because traditional doctors sole use of blood tests for diagnosis. The “normal” ranges for thyroid hormones vary so drastically that almost all of us will fall within “normal” ranges, regardless of symptoms. The downfall is that many doctors will treat symptoms of Hypothyroidism with prescription drugs for individual symptoms of depression, joint pain, insomnia, etc. without getting to the root cause. Join Dr. Hotze today as he leads us in a frank discussion about how the Thyroid hormone affects so many areas of our body and its normal function. There are many symptoms of Hypothyroidism, and low energy is, many times, the first sign of inadequate production of active thyroid.

When it comes to your health, think outside the box! Don’t run with the herd, run away from the herd and let the herd follow you! No one is in charge of your health except for you. You must be energetic in order to be enthusiastic, and the number one hormone in your body that produces energy is Thyroid! Thyroid governs every cell in your body. A diagnosis of hypothyroidism doesn’t come from a blood test! Over 95% of us will have “normal” levels of thyroid according to standard blood tests because the “normal” range is VERY hard to fall out of. Most doctors will treat symptoms of Hypothyroidism with prescription drugs for depression, joint pain, sleep aids, etc. Symptoms of Hypothyroidism are fatigue, mood swings, depression, lack of focus, overweight, low body temperature, muscle aches and pains, abnormal bowel function, abnormal menstrual cycle and many others. Join Dr. Hotze today as he discusses how many Americans suffer from the #1 most commonly undiagnosed condition. The inactive thyroid hormone – called T4- must be converted into the active hormone – called T3 – for our cells to produce energy. Low energy is the first sign of inadequate production of active thyroid. Make sure to use natural thyroid, not synthetic thyroid, which is prescribed by most doctors. Find out about the common symptoms of Hypothyroidism and how to get back to your happy, healthy self again!
