September 17, 2012ADHD Measurements: Consider Hormone Imbalance 
If you don't first consider, then measure for specific hormone imbalances you'll remain unconvinced that hormone fluctuations do often create significant ADHD symptoms. Well then, you may ask, what hormones matter?
Consider This Brief ADHD Hormone List
- Estrogen/Progesterone balance
- Medication dosage and Periods
- Menopause
- Adrenal Fatigue, Insufficiency
- Thyroid Imbalance – Hyperactivity
- Thyroid Imbalance – Inattentive
- Andropause
Too many who suffer with ADHD symptoms are treated with stimulants for underlying, measurable biomedical issues.

I have just received back test results for a full thyroid profile which i suspected might be contributing to my afternoon energy drop. It showed that I have all measures ‘within normal limits’
However the Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies are elevated but under 34IU/mL – the figure was 31 and the same test last year it was 11. So my antibodies are increasing but not above what Dr’s consider abnormal.
Do you have any advice?
John,
1. First read these 2 books:
a. Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? – http://astore.amazon.com/cpbks-20/detail/0985690402 -Then you’ll know I’m not out there in left field for this next second set of suggestions. [It’s exceedingly well referenced.]
b. Why Isn’t My Brain Working? same author: http://astore.amazon.com/cpbks-20/detail/0985690437 – same reason.
2. Then,
a. Get an IgG test for food allergies [qualitative] – the why documented in detail in these videos: http://bit.ly/mindgut IgG challenges directly effect thyroid.
b. It won’t fix you but Thyroid Synergy at our shop will support thyroid function w/o taking thyroid per se — but don’t expect it to work if you’re still eating the allergen[s]. [2 in the AM if the rest of your thyroid does look good: https://store.corepsych.com/Thyroid-Synergy-Capsules-120s_p_414.html%5D
c. Get your Vit D3 Tested for sure [25 Hydroxy D] – it should be free at your doc’s, [but if that’s a hassle see the testing options a this article below] in the 50-70 ng/ml level, not just squeaking around 30, maybe.

If you hit a stonewall on any or all of those items give me a call for a Brief Chat, as we can test you up and get on it wherever you are: Brief Chat Details: http://corepsych.com/services
