ThyroidOur Naturopaths often will do a deep dive and run advanced Thyroid Testing (TSH, FT3, FT4, TPO). Our Naturopaths always screen our fatigue patients for Hypothyroidism.
Our Naturopathic Doctors consider Thyroid an issue especially if accessory Thyroid symptoms are present in addition to fatigue: weakness, depression, constipation etc. We offer Thyroid Replacement Therapy through our Nurse Practitioner - Synthroid, Desiccated Thyroid, Cytomel and T4/T3 combinations are frequently used. AdrenalsHypoadrenalism or "Adrenal Fatigue" is a common cause of fatigue our Naturopaths see in our Edmonton patients. Signs and symptoms of hypoadrenalism may include fatigue, salt craving, positional blood pressure issues, insomnia and poor tolerance to stress. We usually run salivary or urinary hormones (often DHEA and Cortisol) to assess Adrenal health. We commonly see this energy pattern in adrenal fatigue patients: morning fatigue, mid-day dip in energy and best energy in the evening. Occasionally, bio-identical Cortisol replacement is used (low dose Hydrocortisone) as an aggressive Cortisol replacement strategy through our NP. AndrogensWe always screen our Edmonton patients for low male hormones (Androgens) - Testosterone and DHEA. Both Testosterone and DHEA affect energy, memory, muscle mass, mood and libido in men and women. In men, Testosterone levels fall at an average of 1-2% per year after the age of 30. Although herbal options are available to boost these levels, in our experience, the effects are frequently modest. Through our Nurse Practitioner, we offer a range of Androgen Replacement options including Testosterone (creams, gels, shots) and DHEA (orally or as a cream). Furthermore, we work with substances that can augment endogenous Testosterone production such as hCG and Clomid. Adrenal, Thyroid, & Hormonal Test Reports
