Do You Have Thyroid Issues?
More than 27 million Americans have some kind of thyroid disorder, which can cause issues such as fatigue, trouble keeping your weight in balance, dry skin and hair, depression, and much more.
Depending on your specific symptoms and laboratory test results, we may recommend supplementation containing iodine with zinc and selenium combined with a low-inflammatory diet plan and an overall decrease in stress. Additionally, we may just recommend continued monitoring or when necessary, medication.
At Modern Women’s Health, we are pleased to offer our patients advanced programs to help with nutrition, weight loss, and even treating and preventing disease. No matter what your personal goals are, we will be more than happy to help you on your journey to getting your body in balance.
Ideal Protein
Ideal Protein is more than a regular diet. This FDA-approved program involves you visiting us once a week, and you will be physician-supervised by our Ideal Protein Coach, Kelly Zimbelman. Kelly has guided over 2,000 people on their Ideal Protein weight loss journeys, helping them to not only lose weight and keep it off, but also helping them to understand how their body does this.
Ideal Protein is considered ketogenic, but it modifies regular keto diets to also restrict fat intake for some of the time. When Ideal Protein is followed, your body will be put into a state of ketosis. The program follows three phases to help you first burn fat and lose weight; then to help you maintain your weight loss and new eating habits, and finally to stay on track with regular visits to your Ideal Protein coach, Kelly.
Nutraceuticals
We are pleased to offer a variety of nutraceutical products. Nutraceuticals are bioactive compounds such as ginseng, antioxidants, green tea, glucosamine, omega 3, etc. that are consumed via pills, powders, capsules, and vials. These types of compounds have been used for hundreds of years to aid people in wellness, and they have been known to assist in the prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
If you’re interested in utilizing completely natural compounds to help you feel better and prevent disease, we will formulate a treatment plan just for you with nutraceuticals.
With a focus on overall wellness for women, our practice is proud to help patients get on track with diet and nutrition. If you think you may have a thyroid issue, please call us at (512) 301-6767 or request an appointment.
