Energetic Assessments

Getting well  is often a combination of the above issues that need to be addressed.   A protocol is put in place to begin working through these areas for  you.  Nutritional supplements are often needed to address the lack in  nutritional foundation. 

These can be found at tennantproducts.com.

Can  these consults be done remotely? Yes! Heavy metal/mineral status will  no be addressed in a remote visit but general detox will be discussed.  

Do you have low thyroid function?  How many of these symptoms do you feel?

There  are thyroid receptors on every cell of the body, that is why it affects  so many organ systems.  The thyroid must be optimized to achieve better  health and vitality.  The pituitary gland releases TSH to talk to  the thyroid.  The thyroid organ then releases T4 (storage hormone) which  much be convereted to T3 (active hormone) to be used at the cellular  level.  Genetic mutations have been found in individuals that decrease  the conversion of T4 to T3.  Stress, poor nutrition, heavy metal  exposure, emotional stress can decreased this conversion.  A patients  TSH test may be normal but they are cellularly hypothyroid with  symptoms.  The T3 must be optimized a patient to have the cellular  energy to have proper function and for symptoms to resolve.  

The TSH test is inadequate to identify cellular thyroid function and T4  only replacement (Synthroid) is inadequate for many patients. A Free T3  and Reverse T3 tests are always ordered and often will add a Thyroid  Peroxidase Antibody and Anti-Thryoglobulin Antibody tests to rule out  Hashimoto's thyroiditis (the leading cause of hypothyroidism in the  United States).

Natural desiccated  thyroid replacement (T3/T4) and bioidentical compounded T3/T4  combinations are used.  Sustained release options are also used.   Ultrasounds of the thyroid are ordered if needed to assess nodules  or inflammation. 

Do you have low adrenal function?  How many of these symptoms do you feel? 

• Dizzy when standing (low blood pressure)
  Brain “fog”
  Crave sugar or salty foods

• Inability to handle stress

• Decreased sex drive

• Chronic or worsening fatigue, not relieved by adequate sleep or rest

• Insomnia

• Moodiness

• Exhausted after exercise (feeling wiped out)

• Muscle weakness

• Swollen ankles which worsen at night

• Recurrent infections

• Loss of appetite (weight loss)

• Food sensitivities

• Inability to tolerate thyroid replacement therapy

• What can cause adrenal fatigue?
  Prolonged emotional stress
  Chronic disease states
  Hormone imbalance
  Surgery or accidents
  
  Helping  to support the adrenal glands requires a prolonged approach with  nutrition, supplements based on which part of the adrenal gland is low,  and lifestyle changes.  Replacing adrenal hormone at times is necessary  for short time period.
