Do you have a thyroid problem but were told you were in the "normal range?" Tune in to hear the experts explain why the thyroid can be overlooked.

Thyroid is tested in every one of our patient's blood work that comes in for wellness visits including hormones. 

"Normal" is relative because patients may have normal levels but have symptoms. This is why we go for "OPTIMAL" and symptom resolution! 

Active hormones need to be checked including T4, but T3 (the most active hormone) is overlooked a lot but is the most important. 

Dr. Durst and Farideh list several symptoms of thyroid issues while the list goes on! 

The most common medications that people are put on are synthetic and for T4. T3 and T4 medications are Dr. Durst and Farideh's favorite. Sometimes the ratio of the two can be tweaked to optimize the thyroid level which is why RMD uses a compounding pharmacy. Compounding pharmacies are so important for this reason. Every patient is different and has different levels. 

Nutrition can cause thyroid problems. Soy can decrease thyroid function. Low Zinc, iodine, fluoride poisoning, etc can also cause thyroid issues. Estrogen dominance in women can also cause issues. Stress is another thing that can play a big part in your thyroid function.

Hyperthyroidism can be diagnosed by coming into the office and having hormones drawn along with T3. A lot of times it can be treated with lifestyle changes and sometimes medication. 

T3 can have a direct effect on muscle building and heart health. 

Clinical Findings:Depression, Weight gain, Constipation, Headaches/migraine headaches, Brittle, ridged, striated, thickened nails, Rough, dry skin, Menstrual irregularities, Fluid retention, Slow speech, Nails that are easily broken, Anxiety/panic attacks, Decreased memory, Inability to concentrate, Muscle and joint pain, reduced heart rate, Slow movements, Morning stiffness, Puffy face, Swollen eyelids, Decreased sexual interest, Cold intolerance, Cold hands and feet, Swollen legs, feet, hands, abdomen, Insomnia, Fatigue, Low body temperature, Horse, husky voice, Low blood pressure, Muscle weakness, Agitation/Irritability Hypercholesterolemia, Infertility, PMS, Hyperinsulinemia,  Some studies supporting T4/T3

Adlin, V., et al., Subclinical hypothyroidism: deciding when to treat,” Amer Fam Physician 1998; 57(4):776-80. 62

Lab results were not better but patients felt better when both T3 and T4 were replaced.

Woeber, K., “Levothyroxine therapy and serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine concentrations,” Jour Endocrinol Invest 2002; 25(2):106-09.65

DHEA is a pro-hormone! It is part of your steroid hormone pathway. DHEA is called the "mother of all hormones"! It affects all the hormones including sex hormones. When stressed, your sex hormones pay the price.

DHEA can be great for mood, weight, bone health, sexual and reproductive health, age-related changes, skin health, brain health, sustained energy, cardiovascular health, peri and post-menopausal, etc. 

Labs are important in order to take DHEA because there is such thing as "too much,  so checking your levels on a regular basis is important when supplementing to keep them optimal. It comes in different doses which is why it's so important to have levels checked. Men and women need different doses. 

Supplements are not regulated which is why it can be dangerous to buy it from anywhere. Make sure to buy professional-grade supplements or make sure where you're buying from does their research! Professional grade is very important in this case!

DHEA can also be given vaginally which can help with dryness. It counteracts stress levels like cortisol and decreases stress. It can be directly correlated to depression!

Regenerative medicine

Not feeling well is a common cause of patients seeking out physician guidance. Traditional doctors often will tell you everything looks good or normal. Regenerative doctors think outside of the box. Anti-aging providers want to give the body back what it needs to feel its best.  This could be vitamins, minerals, iv therapy, bioidentical hormones, hrt, peptides, or regenerative procedures such as the PRP or PRF procedures, gainwave, or laser vaginal rejuvenation. It is a comprehensive approach to look, feel and function optimally.

Did you know you can get Cialis and Viagra combined in troche form? Compounding pharmacies allow an opportunity to create better treatment options. 

Tim Smith with P3 Compounding Pharmacy in Knoxville, TN joins Dr. Durst and Farideh on the podcast to discuss unique compounded medications. Tim is the owner, operator, and pharmacist at P3 compounding pharmacy--he is a wealth of information. Dr. Durst loves having his compounding expertise when deciding on more complex cases as he is experienced with customizing patient-specific formulas. 

Tim created a compounded medication which is a combination of Cialis and Viagra in one troche. Lower Nitric Oxide levels will lead to sexual wellness issues, especially among men. The troche is a combination of a short-acting along with a Long-acting medication. The troche is also amazing because it can be a lower dose of medication, lower side effect profile, and taken on a daily basis.  There are safe supplements that can be taken that are proven to increase the nitric oxide level within hours.

Bigger around the middle? Wearing your belt under your belly? Gaining weight? Blood pressure higher now?  Cholesterol high? You may have Metabolic dysfunction. Learn more about 

Metabolic Syndrome (MS). 

Call or text RevitalyzeMD at 865-293-5828 to set up a consultation! 

MS is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.  It’s all a syndrome caused by bad habits. Metabolic Syndrome can be reversed!!

Five signs of metabolic syndrome:

A large waist: Waist size: Men greater than 40 inches, women greater than 35 inches

A high triglyceride level

Reduced HDL or “good” cholesterol. Men’s HDL less than 40, women HDL less than 50

Increased blood pressure: Levels 130/85 mm Hg or higher

Elevated fasting blood sugar

Just a 5-10% reduction in weight can help reduce metabolic syndrome. Walking 30 minutes, 5 times a week can also help. 

Obesity is a risk factor for Covid and hospitalization! Nutrition is not as talked about to avoid chronic diseases but is a huge issue related to disease and the costs of medical care. If you have fat you can see, then you have visceral fat which is fat around your organs. 

1 out of 7 Americans has metabolic syndrome. 30-40% of people that are in the normal range on the BMI index, still have metabolic syndrome. The best way to reverse metabolic syndrome is to be active, make good choices, eat healthily, etc.

Peri-Menopause happens around 40-45. A drop in progesterone and testosterone happens while estrogen stays the same. Estrogen dominance can cause anger, anxiety, night sweats.

Progesterone is the "feel good" hormone that will help sleep and happiness. When this drops, this is when women can tell they don't feel well. Progesterone dosages can cause a side effect of drowsiness in the morning because it is a slow-release taken at night. Creams can help this side-effect if taking a capsule earlier doesn't help this feeling. 

Bloating and water retention happens more with progesterone. Playing with the dosages can help this. 

Low testosterone can lead to brain fog, low energy, low libido, no energy for exercise, and several other unwanted side effects. When these levels are normal, testosterone can help with fat burn. Hair changes and acne is a side-effect of supplementing with testosterone. This can be avoided when it stays level. Injections can be hard for some because of the consistency. Pellets are a great option to keep all levels consistent. 

Pellets are one of Dr. Durst and Farideh's favorite treatment options for hormone replacement with fewer side effects and fewer spikes. Every patient is different and getting each patient to their optimal level is our goal.

Negative side effects of hormone replacement therapy are the main concern we hear in the office! Dr. Durst and NP Farideh discuss all of the concerns and side effects with it. 

Testosterone converts to estrogen and too much estrogen in men can cause extreme emotions, bloat and water retention, nipple tenderness, and negative sexual side-effects. Low estrogen can also cause issues with sexual function. 

Every patient is different and getting the patient to their optimal level is our goal. If your levels are not at their appropriate level for each patient, a blocker can be added in a pellet or compounded with the injections. 

Testosterone not only can convert to estrogen but can also convert to DHT which is stronger. Like estrogen, we want some of it but too much of it can cause acne, hair loss or gain, urinary tract changes, and other negative side effects. There are a lot of options for treatment options to keep this from happening. 

Lastly, an increase in red blood cells can come from a spike in testosterone. It is monitored closely in our office. 

Pellets are one of Dr. Durst and Farideh's favorite treatment options for hormone replacement with fewer side effects and fewer spikes.

Our IV Therapy is the best of the best. Tune in to hear how we stand out from others and keep our patients healthy and happy!

RMD's Farideh and Marissa join Dr. Durst in the studio to share their input on all things IV Therapy, how it became a treatment at RMD, and how it is so beneficial.

RevitalyzeMD has an IV Lounge in the office and it's everyone's favorite place to hang out. Patients leave feeling refreshed. 

The drips are put together and the bags are made special to each patient. Kits are not used in our office. It is not a one-size-fits-all at RevitalyzeMD. There is a huge advantage and benefit to having an IV customized to the patient's needs. Adjustments can be made for patients where we can add or remove ingredients. 

IV typically takes about an hour. Some take a little longer with add-ons and with stronger bags. 

NAD is a drip offered in RevitalyzeMD. It is DNA support and repair with cardiovascular and brain support along with so many other incredible benefits. NAD is science-backed for being greatly beneficial to so many patients. 

Dr. Durst discusses the value of learning new techniques and continuing to study medicine as time goes on and not being close-minded as a doctor. 

Glutathione is a very popular add-on in our office. The research behind it is huge. It helps liver detox, reduces stress, is anti-aging, and is also known as the "beauty bag" in Hollywood. 

Vitamin D is not one that is given in an IV bag due to being fat-soluble.

Vitamin C is water-soluble and has a major benefit as immune support in an IV bag.
