Achieve Thyroid and Adrenal Wellness at Total Health and Rejuvenation of Birmingham – Serving Madison, Highland Lakes, Mountain Brook, Meridianville, Trussville, and all surrounding Birmingham areas

Many people suffer from thyroid complaints and issues with their adrenal glands. You, or someone you know, may be living with hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid. This condition can host a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to: anxiety, weight gain, headaches, sore joints and muscles, fluid retention, fatigue, low sexual desire, high cholesterol, a swollen neck and more. As you see, these symptoms are anything but fun. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help to alleviate these symptoms.

The adrenal glands secrete several hormones that affect your body as a whole. These are essential hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, give you health and vitality. Due to the aging process, stressful lifestyles, and other illnesses the adrenal function can become depleted, and it does not serve us with the benefits that they once did. This condition is referred to as adrenal fatigue. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue include anxiety and sleepless nights. Dr. Donohue utilizes hormone therapy to resolve these conditions.

THE PROCESS

The thyroid gland secretes Free T4 (thyroxine) and Free T3 (triiodothyronine). A common form of therapy for hypothyroidism is to prescribe Levothyroxine – a synthetic form of T4. And while it does work for some patients, most continue to have symptoms.

At Total Health & Rejuvenation of Birmingham, we do a simple blood draw to determine your precise deficiencies. The bottom line is that your body is not creating enough thyroid hormone for your needs. Therefore, thyroid hormone replacement is necessary. We attempt to reproduce natural thyroid levels and will monitor your progress and health to ensure that you are receiving the best treatment possible.

With adrenal conditions, we utilize herbal remedies and/or bioidentical cortisol replacement to balance the low hormone levels. We review all processes with the patient and will answer all of your questions.

THE BENEFITS

It is important to understand that any treatment for adrenal and thyroid conditions will begin with hormone testing, which we can arrange for you. We test primarily thru urine and blood. If you find yourself struggling with these symptoms, contact Total Health and Rejuvenation of Birmingham to schedule an appointment!

  • My wife and I first starting coming to BodyLogicMD a few years ago because we were both feeling the effects of aging. She was premenopausal with slight weight gain, night sweats, and low energy. I was suffering from very low testosterone, as most men over 40 did, and had little energy. My wife read a book about hormone treatment by Susanne Somers, and we searched out doctors in Birmingham that offered it and found BodyLogicMD. After being on our treatment plans for about 90 days, we both felt amazing, and our symptoms were gone. We have maintained our new lifestyle...Read More
  • "At the age of 44, I was tired of feeling tired. I couldn't sleep through the night, waking up with night sweats and just not able to shut off my brain. During the day, I had zero energy. The 3 pm slump would hit me like a ton of bricks every day - regardless of how well I slept the night before. My libido was pretty much zilch, and I had been severely moody. Worst of all (but don't tell my husband the non-existant libido wasn't the worst), I wasn't able to lose weight to save my life. After hearing about BodyLogicMD,...Read More

  • "Dr. Donohue has been my doctor for several years now and the change in my health has been amazing.  I no longer have that “foggy brain” feeling, and my thoughts are now clear and precise.  I have more energy, and look and feel healthier than I have ever felt before. My friends and family have taken notice and commented favorably.  With this new boost in energy, I’m able to exercise more that I did before, and that has resulted in a better looking and feeling body, and a lower number on the scale!  I absolutely trust Dr. Donohue, he’s knowledgeable...Read More
  • "My husband and I have been a patient of Dr. Donohue for the past several years, and we can honestly say that seeing him has been nothing short of a life-changing experience for us. As we grow “younger”, we have been plagued with many age-related deteriorations, both physically and mentally. Dr. Donohue’s precise BHRT therapy and supplements have made us feel and look as young as we feel in our hearts, plus I love the fact Dr. Donohue is prompt, and we never have to wait more than 5 minutes!!!!!!!! The staff at his office is wonderful as well; professional,...Read More
  • "Our greatest possession is our health. That is what makes everything else in life possible. It’s sad that we live in a civilization where most physicians talk but don’t really listen, and the average patient is given about 90 seconds of face time. Thankfully, I realized that does not have to be the case. Dr. Donohue looks at all facets of your health, in detail, to find the best solutions to optimize your health. Unrushed and face to face, Dr. Donohue explains the treatments in a way that is easy to understand.  Dr. Donohue and his staff are amazing and attentive, and quick...Read More
