What should your TSH goal be?

Dr. Smith uses all types of thyroid hormones, including specialty preparations, natural and compounded options.

Let us find the best hormonal fit for YOU!

This is a widely debated topic, one that Endocrinologists sitting at a round table throw tomatoes over! There are two ways to think about this – safety and efficacy.

From a safety standpoint, data shows us a clear TSH reference range to prevent cardiovascular activation or bone loss from too much thyroid OR cardiac remodeling and cognitive slowing from too little. But just because your TSH numbers are within the reference, this does not mean that your hormonal therapy is effective for you!

This does not necessarily equate to feeling well, unfortunately. It’s not that easy. I work with my patients to achieve both goals – safety and efficacy - with utilization of all thyroid hormones available.

My job is restoring a gland that God created! Trying to replicate intricate design is not an easy process and must be individualized. I will keep your therapy safe AND I believe we can find a plan together that helps you feel better too. Everyone worries about making thyroid hormone changes as it can affect everything. Have no fear, we will work together.
