Functional Hypothyroidism Correction

Meaning

Functional Hypothyroidism Correction is a comprehensive clinical strategy aimed at resolving symptoms and optimizing cellular metabolism in individuals who present with classic hypothyroid symptoms but whose standard thyroid panel results may fall within the statistically “normal” laboratory reference range. This approach focuses on improving the peripheral conversion of T4 to the active T3 hormone and enhancing cellular T3 receptor sensitivity, rather than solely relying on TSH or total T4 measurements. The correction targets the underlying physiological barriers to thyroid hormone action.
