What is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid, or bow tie-shaped gland in the neck, does not produce enough thyroid hormone to keep the body functioning properly. Hypothyroidism is very common condition and is treatable. About 20 million people in America live with a thyroid disease. Although thyroid disease is less prevalent in men, its effects are still the same.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?
Some people with hypothyroidism also experience adrenal fatigue. The signs and symptoms of adrenal fatigue are nearly identical to those of hypothyroidism, which sometimes makes it difficult for doctors to distinguish the difference. Adrenal therapy boasts benefits for people with either condition or both conditions. Adrenal therapy restores balance to the adrenal glands, helping them keep hormone secretion, production, and regulation in check. When the adrenal glands are functioning properly, it’s easier for the entire body to work effectively.
What is Hypothyroidism Therapy for Men?
Hypothyroidism poses a set of unique challenges for men. Many report decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and a loss of muscle mass. These are often compounded by lower testosterone levels, which are common in men of a certain age. A combination of thyroid hormone therapy and testosterone replacement therapy can work together to eliminate these issues.
Men utilizing thyroid hormone therapy often experience higher energy levels, better hair growth, and replenishment of muscle mass. Improved mood and better stress management will come naturally when the body’s hormones are restored back to the necessary balance.
Am I a Candidate for Hypothyroidism Therapy?
Nearly anyone with hypothyroidism is a candidate for hypothyroidism therapy. The best treatment options will vary from patient to patient, and may involve treatment for co-existing conditions.
How is Hypothyroidism Treated?
Hypothyroid treatment is best performed holistically. The thyroid needs some extra attention, but so does the entire body. Eating right and exercising are key for healthy body function and weight management. Medicines and supplements can help get patients back on the right track.

What is Recovery Like After Hypothyroidism Therapy?
Hypothyroidism therapy doesn’t require recovery time. You’re free to live your life as normal from the moment you begin treatment.
