The thyroid and adrenal glands play a critical role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall health.

At Med Matrix, we offer comprehensive treatments, supported by advanced testing, to ensure precise diagnosis and effective management of thyroid and adrenal health, helping you regain balance and restore vitality.
Understanding Thyroid and Adrenal Disorders
Thyroid and adrenal disorders can occur when these glands produce too much or too little of the hormones necessary for normal body function. These imbalances can lead to a variety of health issues, including fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances.
Common Thyroid Disorders:
Hypothyroidism
A condition where the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, depression, and sensitivity to cold.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, often leading to hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism
A condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, causing symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and heat intolerance.
Graves’ Disease
An autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, characterized by symptoms such as bulging eyes, tremors, and weight loss.
Common Adrenal Disorders
Adrenal Fatigue
A term used to describe a collection of symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, difficulty waking up, and a weakened stress response, often attributed to prolonged stress and overworked adrenal glands.
Cushing’s Syndrome
A condition caused by excessive cortisol production, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and skin changes.
Addison’s Disease
A rare disorder where the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol and aldosterone, leading to symptoms like fatigue, muscle weakness, and low blood pressure.
