Understanding Thyroid Health

The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that has a big impact on your overall health. It helps regulate energy, metabolism, mood, and even body temperature. When your thyroid isn’t working properly, it can cause symptoms that are often mistaken for everyday stress or aging.

Thyroid disorders can show up in many ways:

  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, cold intolerance, constipation, depression.
  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, heat intolerance, sweating, insomnia.
  • Thyroid nodules or enlargement: swelling in the neck, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness.

Because these symptoms can mimic other conditions, proper testing is essential.

Thyroid disorders can affect your quality of life and, if untreated, may lead to complications such as heart problems, infertility, and osteoporosis. By identifying thyroid issues early, we can help you avoid long-term health consequences and restore balance to your body.

At Getuwell, we provide:

  • On-site lab testing for thyroid hormone levels (TSH, T3, T4).
  • Comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of symptoms.
  • Personalized treatment plans — whether that’s medication for hypothyroidism, therapy for hyperthyroidism, or monitoring nodules with imaging when necessary.
  • Ongoing management to ensure your levels stay in balance and symptoms are under control.

We don’t just manage lab numbers — we help you feel better, regain energy, and get back to living fully.
