Optimizing thyroid health is our absolute number one priority.
Get Scheduled TodayThyroid balance is crucial for every organ in our body to function properly including brain, heart, bone, and muscles. We also need thyroid hormone to properly utilize energy and keep our bodies at the right temperature. If thyroid hormone is either too high or too low we experience a wide range of symptoms that affect almost every body system including energy and weight changes, sleep and mood disturbances, skin and hair problems, menstrual cycle shifts, gastrointestinal issues and muscle weakness.
A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to understanding your thyroid. Dr. Glueck performs her own thyroid ultrasounds and biopsies regularly in the office. She sends the cells to a specialized laboratory for Afirma Thyroid FNA analysis. This specialized test allows genes to be tested that can further help clarify whether a nodule is benign or malignant and can often avoid the need to repeat a biopsy or unnecessary surgery.
Before, during, and after pregnancy thyroid balance is absolutely crucial.
Normal ovary function depends on thyroid hormone. Thyroid problems can lead to both subfertility and pregnancy complications. Most women with underlying thyroid problems need additional hormone supplementation during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester. Increased frequency of testing and careful attention to adjust thyroid function is very important to maintain both mother and baby's health.
