Millions of people struggle with thyroid dysfunction — yet most go undiagnosed for years. Why? Because standard testing often stops at one lab marker, TSH, and when that looks “normal,” patients are told everything is fine — even when they still feel exhausted, foggy, and frustrated.

At Trident Anti Aging, we know better. We look deeper, measuring multiple thyroid markers, listening to your symptoms, and crafting a plan that treats the root cause, not just a number.

Don’t Let a Sluggish Thyroid Steal Your Energy, Mood, or Metabolism

Your thyroid is the master regulator of your body’s energy system. When it slows down — even slightly — every cell feels it.

You may notice:

Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Fatigue even after a full night’s rest
Brain fog or poor concentration
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Cold hands and feet or sensitivity to cold
Thinning hair, brittle nails, or dry skin
Irregular periods or fertility challenges

If more than one of these sounds familiar, your thyroid may be under-performing — even if your labs say otherwise.

How Trident’s Thyroid Approach is Different

Most clinics focus narrowly on TSH. At Trident Anti Aging, we take a comprehensive, whole-body approach that reveals the real picture of your thyroid health.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Expanded lab testing: Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, and more
Root-cause analysis: Gut, adrenal, stress, and hormone balance all influence thyroid function
Personalized treatment: No “one-pill-fits-all” — your plan fits you
Telehealth convenience: Expert support, follow-ups, and adjustments — all from home

When your thyroid is balanced, your energy, metabolism, and mood all come back online.

Thyroid Health FAQs

What’s the difference between TSH and a full thyroid panel?

TSH only measures one signal from your brain to your thyroid. A full panel checks Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies — giving a complete view of how your thyroid is actually working.

Can I have thyroid issues even if my labs are “normal”?

Yes. Many patients feel unwell despite “normal” TSH levels. That’s why Trident tests multiple markers and treats based on both labs and symptoms.

What treatments are available if my thyroid is low?

Treatment may include thyroid hormone replacement, adrenal and nutrient support, lifestyle guidance, and targeted therapies to rebalance your system naturally.

How soon can I feel better once treatment begins?

Many patients notice improved energy, clarity, and mood within a few weeks. Lasting results depend on consistency and follow-up care.
