Thyroid hormone therapy

Thyroid hormone therapy involves taking medication to provide the body with the thyroid hormones it may be lacking due to conditions like hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones. These hormones regulate many bodily functions, including metabolism, energy levels, and temperature. The most common medication is levothyroxine, which mimics the natural hormone thyroxine. By restoring hormone levels, this therapy helps improve energy, mood, and overall health. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure the correct dosage and manage any side effects.
