Thyroid Health

Watch our Thyroid + Nutritional Health Webinar! 

 

At Enhanced Wellness Living Functional Medicine Clinic we understand that healthcare is not a “one size fits all” practice and we offer a variety of healthcare treatments to ensure that our patients are building strength, immunity, hormone balance, sexual health, and a lifestyle of energy, vitality, and longevity!  To do this, we believe it’s important to focus on thyroid health!  Our thyroid impacts every aspect of our health, yet most of us do not truly understand it, the hormones it produces and how much our nutritional choices impact it.
What have you heard about the thyroid? You may know someone who has faced thyroid health concerns or even thyroid cancer, but do you really understand why your thyroid is so important to your body’s functioning and ability to achieve optimal health?  The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck which produces the hormone thyroxine.  Your thyroid controls how your body uses energy from food, aka your metabolism.  Thyroid health is critical because if you do not have enough thyroid hormone your body processes slow down, if you have too much of the hormone your metabolism over accelerates.

Your thyroid gland and hormones:

  • Regulate metabolism
  • Control body temperature
  • Regulate heartbeat
  • Support immune system functionality
  • Stimulate blood flow to the brain
  • Support oxygen flow to the kidneys, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles
  • Promote healthy sleep, mood, and mental health
  • Regulate how your body burns calories
  • Are vital for proper bodily function, overall health, wellness, and longevity…left untreated, thyroid diseases can lead to heart failure and be deadly

Thyroid Facts: 

  • Over 20 million Americans have a form of thyroid disease, sadly, 60% are unaware of the issue or have been misdiagnosed
  • Thyroid issues impacted people of all ages and ethnicities
  • Women are 5 times more likely to have thyroid issues than men
  • People aged 30-50 are at the highest risk for developing thyroid cancer
  • 90% of chronic disease is related to inflammation
  • The inability to get good quality sleep could mean an underlying thyroid health issue or other hormonal imbalance
  • Even with proper diet and exercise, if your thyroid hormone is not in balance you will face weight loss challenges
  • Thyroid disease is preventable and treatable! A holistic approach, combined with diet and lifestyle changes, will improve your thyroid and overall health!  Maintaining a healthy, nutritional diet filled with fruits and vegetables will reduce your risk of thyroid and other diseases!
    • Nutritional Health:  Eat these fresh foods to support your thyroid and overall health!  Asparagus, carrots, leafy greens, avocado, organic meats, salmon/tuna/sardines/wild caught fish, brazil nuts, seaweed, beets, and drink lots of water!
    • Avoid these foods: soy, gluten/bread/pasta/rice, fatty and fried foods, sugar, processed and prepackaged foods, and alcohol

Contributors to thyroid disorders, disease, and cancer include:

  • Environmental toxicity
  • Iodine deficiency
  • Inflammation-thyroiditis
  • Hashimoto’s
  • Stress
  • Postpartum
  • Grave’s disease
  • Exposure to high levels of radiation
  • Family history of goiters or thyroid cancer

Hypothyroidism vs Hyperthyroidism 

Hypothyroidism–when your thyroid gland is unable to produce enough of the hormone your entire body will slow down as your body is using energy slower than it should.  Symptoms include: a constant feeling of cold, cold hands and feet, puffy skin and bloating, fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, forgetfulness, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle and joint aches and pains, heavy or irregular menstrual periods, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism–when your thyroid gland overproduces the hormone and causes the body processes to speed up as your body is using energy faster than it should.  Symptoms include: rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, anxiety and nervousness, irritability, weight loss, heat intolerance, trouble sleeping or insomnia, weakness in the muscles and joints, vision and eyesight problems, increased appetite, light or skipped menstrual periods, and a visibly enlarged thyroid gland.

Now, more than ever, it is critical that both men and women focus on our nutritional health, physical health, hormonal health, sexual health, and mental health.  At Enhanced Wellness Living our goal is to continue to support our patients and to be a source of reassurance, support, education, stress reduction, and wellness!

Kelly Englemann, NP, and Functional Medicine Practitioner, and the Enhanced Wellness Living clinic team in Ridgeland, Mississippi are here to support your wellness and nutritional goals! To schedule your new patient consultation, wellness consultation, nutritional consultation, or any other appointment you may need please contact us at 601-724-7885, Info@EnhancedWellness.com, or the “Get Started” form, on our site.

Always exhausted?  Working to get healthy and lose weight but still gaining and not seeing results?  Noticing hair loss?  Feeling depressed or anxious?  Can’t sleep at night?  All of these are signs of a potential hormone imbalance.

At Enhanced Wellness Living we take an in-depth look at your overall health through your thyroid hormone health.  Measuring levels of TSH, T3, T4, TPO, RT3, and Antithyroglobulinan gets to the bottom of health concerns such as inability to get a good nights sleep, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, low energy, anxiety, depression, lack of sex drive/libido, and more.

-Thyroid Specific Hormone-A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should.  This test will tell us if your thyroid is overactive, hyperthyroidism, or underactive, hypothyroidism

-T3-Triiodothyronine is a hormone that impacts your body’s metabolism.  T3 testing is used to ensure that you are not living with hyperthyroidism, a condition in which your body produces too much of the thyroid hormone

-T4-Free thyroxine is a hormone that regulates body weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood

-TPO-Thyroid peroxidase; this test measures the levels of thyroid antibodies in your blood and ensures that your thyroid gland is properly functioning

-RT3-Reverse triiodothyronine aka Reverse T3 is a biologically inactive metabolite.  Triiodothyronine is one of the two major hormones produced by your thyroid.  Stress can also cause these levels to rise

-Antithyroglobulin-is essential to the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.  This test checks to ensure that your immune system is not causing damage to your thyroid gland

Thyroid conditions such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, impact overall health as well as your sleep, energy, body temperature, skin health, mental health, and more.  Measuring these levels can get to the bottom of health concerns such as the inability to get a good night’s sleep, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, low energy, and more.

Your thyroid gland and hormones regulate metabolism, controls body temperature, regulates heartbeat, supports immune system functionality, stimulates blood flow to the brain, supports oxygen flow to the kidneys, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles, regulates how your body burns calories, and ss vital for proper bodily function, overall health, wellness, and longevity…left untreated, thyroid diseases can lead to heart failure and be deadly.

Nutritional Health Special

At Enhanced Wellness Living, we take a food first approach to wellness! From April 1-June 30, we’re offering a Nutritional Health Lab to all EWL Members for $64, where we take a deep dive into your Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and Red Blood Cell Magnesium levels! Stress management and better sleep rely on proper nutrition, and resilience comes from good stress management, great sleep, and even better nutrition! This is why it’s so important to take a food first approach to health, but blood work is also handy to see what’s going on from the inside out!

Vitamin B12 is needed to convert food into energy, is important for metabolism health, gut health, producing red blood cells and DNA, and brain health. B12 can be found in foods such as beef, liver, chicken, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, and potatoes. You may be low in B12 if: you have swelling of the tongue, numbness in your hands or feet, infertility, irregular heartbeat, anemia, or irritability to name a few. Vitamin B12 deficiencies can take years to develop, but don’t wait until you have symptoms, get your levels checked now! Having a sufficient level of B12 can increase energy levels, improve memory, and help prevent birth defects!

Red Blood Cell Magnesium is the actual concentration or amount of magnesium in your red blood cells. These RBC Magnesium levels are important to prevent heart disease, control blood pressure, and regulate healthy levels of cholesterol. It is difficult to get enough magnesium from food alone, but high magnesium food sources are: almonds, avocado, bananas, swiss chard, dark chocolate, spinach, and pumpkin seeds. Some signs of magnesium deficiency include: poor appetite, nervousness, mood disorders, and muscle spasms or tremors. Just as too little magnesium can be a health hazard, too much can also! The best way to find out where you are at, is by getting your levels checked!

With the clocks changing and the seasons transitioning, it’s a great time to take a closer look at your Vitamin D levels. Taking too much Vitamin D can be just as detrimental as having too little, so be sure to get these levels checked each Fall (October) and Spring (April)! You may be deficient in Vitamin D if: you live in an area with high pollution, live in an area with little sunlight, spend the bulk of your time indoors, or have dark skin. Low Vitamin D can look and feel like: fatigue, aches and pains, bone or muscle pain/weakness. Strive to get outdoors more for that natural light exposure to raise your Vitamin D levels, and eat foods rich in D such as eggs, tuna, herring, liver, mackerel, mushrooms, salmon, sardines, shrimp, and tuna.

Take advantage of this awesome Nutritional Health Lab Special from April 1, 2022-June 30, 2022 to get a better idea of how healthy you are from the inside out!

Heart Health

At Enhanced Wellness Living Functional Medicine Clinic in Ridgeland, Mississippi we understand that healthcare is not a “one size fits all” practice and we offer a variety of healthcare treatments to ensure that our patients are building strength, immunity, hormone balance, sexual health, and a lifestyle of energy, vitality, and longevity!  Throughout January, February, and March and we are focusing on building a lifestyle of health, energy, and longevity through your heart health and nutritional health!  Our hearth health impacts every aspect of our lives, yet most of us do not truly understand how much our nutritional choices impact our overall health, mental health, mood, and support in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and premature death.  Nurse Practitioners Kelly Engelmann and Amanda Carter, along with the EWL team, are here to support you on your Wellness Journey to Live Life Well!

Have Hope!  Heart Disease is preventable and treatable!

We’ve all heard that Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death in the US.  Heart Disease is often called the “silent killer” because it typically has no symptoms until after it has done significant damage to your heart….that’s why understanding your Heart Health is so important!

Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease, refers to a collection of health conditions that involve narrow or blocked blood vessels and can lead to heart attack, chest pain or angina, stroke, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, congenital heart disease, and heart failure.

Contact us to schedule your lab special today! 

Enhanced Wellness Living Members!  Now through 3/31 take advantage of our Health Heart Panel!  

This lab is a deep dive, not only into your heart health, but into your inflammation levels and overall metabolic health. 

Tracking your health matters and our lab specials help you to understand what is going on under the surface!

–CBC with Differential-measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood.  This panel can uncover infection, disease, and blood cell cancers (Leukemia)

–Comprehensive Metabolic Panel-a deep dive into your metabolic health looking at your glucose (sugar) level, calcium, electrolyte and fluid balance, liver and kidney function, and more.  Your liver is your major detox organ so it is important to monitor these levels

–Homocysteine-is a amino acid, higher levels show that you may have a vitamin deficiency and increased risk for blood clots, dementia, stroke, and heart disease

–C-Reactive Protein-this protein is produced in your liver and helps the body fight injury or infection.  C-RP is a key inflammatory marker.  High levels of C-RP tell us that you are facing chronic inflammation, potentially Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, and have an increased risk of heart disease

-Lipid Panel-measures fats and fatty substances that your body uses as a source of energy.  This panel tells us your total cholesterol, LDL-bad cholesterol”, HDL-“good cholesterol”, and triglycerides-most common type of fat in your body.  High lipids tells us you are at risk for arterial blockages as fat is building up in your blood vessels

–Ferritin-an intercellular protein that stores and releases iron.  Low levels of ferritin tell us you could have an iron deficiency and could be anemic.  Ferritin is a crucial marker for acute and chronic inflammation

A few facts about heart health:

  • Your Heart Beats 115,000 times a day!
  • The first open-heart surgery was performed in 1893 and the first pacemaker used in 1958
  • Women’s heartbeats are slightly faster than men
  • Erectile Dysfunction can be a sign of a heart problem
  • 1 in 4 American deaths can be attributed to heart disease
  • Stress, hormonal imbalances, obesity, poor diet, lack of sleep, and other underlying medical conditions may lead to heart disease
  • Eating a whole foods, nutrient-dense diet support heart health, hormone balance, and overall health and wellness.  Foods that support heart health include: berries, leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens, avocados,  coconut oil, chia seeds, almonds, walnuts, and salmon.
  • Foods for hormone balancing include, coconut, coconut oil, healthy fats like avocado and butter, pumpkin seeds, spinach, and wild-caught seafoods.

Pay attention to these early warning signs of heart disease: chest pain and tightness, shortness of breath, pain, numbing and/or weakness in your legs or arms, pain in the jaw, neck, throat, or upper abdomen and back, abnormal heart rate or fluttering, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, extreme fatigue, and exhaustion,  or erectile dysfunction.

Treatment and Prevention!  A healthy lifestyle can help to prevent heart disease!  Understanding your heart health combined with diet and exercise helps you to prevent heart disease, heart attack, stroke, heart failure and more.  A few helpful hints: understand and control your blood pressure and cholesterol, quit smoking and limit alcohol, detox your body, exercise regularly, reduce your salt and fat intake, manage stress, get a good nights sleep, maintain a healthy weight and body composition, take appropriate vitamins and supplements!

 

What you can do to prevent Heart Disease:

-Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.  Healthy nutrition includes salmon, mackerel, avocados, pomegranates, blueberries, turmeric, kale, beets, spinach, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, figs, sardines, and more!

-Limit sugar intake

-Understand your biomarkers through appropriate testing, complete a CNS VS test, and/or Cyrex LINX panel (all available through our Enhanced Wellness Living clinic!)

Thyroid + Nutritional Health at Enhanced Wellness Living!

Watch our Thyroid + Nutritional Health Webinar!

At Enhanced Wellness Living Functional Medicine Clinic we understand that healthcare is not a “one size fits all” practice and we offer a variety of healthcare treatments to ensure that our patients are building strength, immunity, hormone balance, sexual health, and a lifestyle of energy, vitality, and longevity!  Throughout August and September and we are focusing on building a lifestyle of health, energy, and longevity through your thyroid health and nutritional health!  Our thyroid impacts every aspect of our health, yet most of us do not truly understand our thyroid health and hormones and how much our nutritional choices impact our thyroid health.

We’ve all heard of our thyroid, most of us even know someone who has faced thyroid health concerns or even thyroid cancer, but do we really understand why our thyroid is so important to our bodies functioning and our ability to achieve optimal health?  The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of our necks which produces the hormone thyroxine.  Our thyroid controls how our bodies use energy from food, aka our metabolism.  Thyroid health is critical because if you do not have enough thyroid hormone your body processes slow down, if you have too much of the hormone your metabolism overaccelerates.

Our thyroid gland and hormones:

  • Regulates metabolism
  • Controls body temperature
  • Regulates heartbeat
  • Supports immune system functionality
  • Stimulates blood flow to the brain
  • Supports oxygen flow to the kidneys, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles
  • Promotes healthy sleep, mood, and mental health
  • Regulates how your body burns calories
  • Is vital for proper bodily function, overall health, wellness, and longevity…left untreated, thyroid diseases can lead to heart failure and be deadlyOrder your Thyroid + Nutritional Health Lab Panel Today and Save $222!  Now-9/30!

Thyroid Facts: 

  • Over 20 million Americans have a form of thyroid disease, sadly, 60% are unaware of the issue or have been misdiagnosed
  • Thyroid issues impacted people of all ages and ethnicities
  • Women are 5 times more likely to have thyroid issues than men
  • People aged 30-50 are hat the highest risk for developing thyroid cancer
  • 90% of chronic disease is related to inflammation
  • The inability to get good quality sleep could mean an underlying thyroid health issue or other hormonal imbalance
  • Even with proper diet and exercise, if your thyroid hormone is not in balance you will face weight loss challenges
  • Thyroid disease is preventable and treatable! A holistic approach, combined with diet and lifestyle changes, will improve your thyroid and overall health!  Maintaining a healthy, nutritional diet filled with fruits and vegetables will reduce your risk of thyroid and other diseases!
    • Nutritional Health:  Eat these fresh foods to support your thyroid and overall health!  Asparagus, carrots, leafy greens, avocado, organic meats, salmon/tuna/sardines/wild caught fish, brazil nuts, seaweed, beets, and drink lots of water!
    • Avoid these foods: soy, gluten/bread/pasta/rice, fatty and fried foods, sugar, processed and prepackaged foods, and alcohol

Contributors to thyroid disorders, disease, and cancer include:

  • Environmental toxicity
  • Iodine deficiency
  • Inflammation-thyroiditis
  • Hashimoto’s
  • Stress
  • Postpartum
  • Grave’s disease
  • Exposure to high levels of radiation
  • Family history of goiters or thyroid cancer

Hypothyroidism vs Hyperthyroidism 

Hypothyroidism–when your thyroid gland is unable to produce enough of the hormone your entire body will slow down as your body is using energy slower than it should.  Symptoms include: a constant feeling of cold, cold hands and feet, puffy skin and bloating, fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, forgetfulness, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle and joint aches and pains, heavy or irregular menstrual periods, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism–when your thyroid gland overproduces the hormone and causes the body processes to speed up as your body is using energy faster than it should.  Symptoms include: rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, anxiety and nervousness, irritability, weight loss, heat intolerance, trouble sleeping or insomnia, weakness in the muscles and joints, vision and eyesight problems, increased appetite, light or skipped menstrual periods, and a visibly enlarged thyroid gland.

Now, more than ever, it is critical that both men and women focus on our nutritional health, physical health, hormonal health, sexual health, and mental health.  At Enhanced Wellness Living our goal is to continue to support our patients and to be a source of reassurance, support, education, stress reduction, and wellness!

Kelly Englemann, NP, and Functional Medicine Practitioner, and the Enhanced Wellness Living clinic team in Ridgeland, Mississippi are here to support your wellness and nutritional goals!  We are offering Virtual Online Consultations, to continue to support our patients and to help keep your health and plans on track.  To schedule your new patient consultation, wellness consultation, nutritional consultation, or any other appointment you may need please contact us at 601-724-7885, Info@EnhancedWellness.com, or the “Get Started” form, on our site.

Always exhausted?  Working to get healthy and lose weight but still gaining and not seeing results?  Noticing hair loss?  Feeling depressed or anxious?  Can’t sleep at night?  All of these are signs of a potential hormone imbalance.

Our Thyroid +Nutritional Health Special $152 (regular price $374) for August and September is an in-depth look at your overall health through your thyroid hormone and nutritional health.  Measuring levels of TSH, T3, T4, TPO, RT3, and Antithyroglobulin as well as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and Magnesium RBC can get to the bottom of health concerns such as inability to get a good nights sleep, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, low energy, anxiety, depression, and more.

Thyroid Specific Hormone-A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should.  This test will tell us if your thyroid is overactive, hyperthyroidism, or underactive, hypothyroidism (often linked to fatigue, depression).

T3-Triiodothyronine is a hormone that impacts your body’s metabolism.  T3 testing is used to ensure that you are not living with hyperthyroidism, a condition in which your body produces too much of the thyroid hormone.

T4-Free thyroxine is a hormone that regulates body weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood.

TPO-Thyroid peroxidase; this test measures the levels of thyroid antibodies in your blood and ensures that your thyroid gland is properly functioning.

RT3-Reverse triiodothyronine aka Reverse T3 is a biologically inactive metabolite.  Triiodothyronine is one of the two major hormones produced by your thyroid.  Stress can also cause these levels to rise.

Antithyroglobulin-is essential to the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.  This test checks to ensure that your immune system is not causing damage to your thyroid gland.

Vitamin B12-an essential nutrient needed for your body to produce enough red blood cells and keep your nervous system functioning.  A lack of proper B12 can lead to anemia, Chron’s disease, Celiac disease, Graves/Autoimmune diseases, and other health complications.

Vitamin D-is produced naturally in the body when exposed to sunlight, it promotes calcium absorption in the gut, and is essential for bone strength and building muscle.  A lack of proper Vitamin D can result in weakness and pain in your bones, muscle weakness, increased risk of heart disease/heart attack, cognitive decline as you age, and other health complications.

Magnesium RBC-a mineral which impacts your heartbeat, nerve and muscle and function, bone development, energy levels, blood pressure and more.   A magnesium deficiency may leave you with muscle cramps/tremors/spasms, chronic fatigue, heart blockages, loss of appetite, diarrhea and more.
