Thyroid Hormone Optimization

Meaning

Thyroid Hormone Optimization is the clinical strategy of precisely adjusting the circulating levels of thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), to achieve an ideal balance that supports optimal metabolic function and well-being. This process extends beyond merely normalizing Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels, focusing on ensuring adequate T3 availability at the cellular level. Optimization aims to resolve subclinical symptoms of hypo- or hyperthyroidism, enhancing energy, metabolism, and cognitive function.
