Thyroid Optimization & Hormone Support in Myrtle Beach

Regain Energy, Metabolism, and Vitality

At Unity Health in Myrtle Beach, we offer thyroid optimization services to help patients restore metabolic balance, improve energy, and support overall wellness. Thyroid dysfunction can affect weight, mood, energy, and hormone balance, making daily life challenging.

Our approach is personalized and lab-driven, focusing on optimizing thyroid hormones with a combination of bioidentical therapy, nutrition guidance, and metabolic support. Dr. Almog Gal and our clinical team design treatment plans tailored to your lab results, symptoms, and health goals.

How Thyroid Optimization Works

Thyroid optimization begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed health history and a full thyroid panel measuring TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies if needed. This allows us to identify hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s, or subclinical imbalances.

Once we understand your thyroid function, we create a personalized optimization plan, which may include:

  • Bioidentical thyroid hormone therapy (T3/T4 combinations or natural desiccated thyroid)

  • Lifestyle and nutritional guidance to support metabolism and hormone balance

  • Regular lab monitoring to track thyroid function and adjust dosing

Our goal is to restore your thyroid to a balanced, optimal state that supports energy, weight management, mood, and overall well-being.

Benefits of Thyroid Optimization

Patients often experience the following improvements with thyroid optimization:

  • Increased energy and reduced fatigue

  • Improved metabolism and easier weight management

  • Enhanced mood, focus, and mental clarity

  • Balanced hormones supporting reproductive and overall health

  • Long-term cardiovascular and bone health support

  • Personalized care with ongoing lab monitoring

Optimizing thyroid function can also enhance the effectiveness of other hormone therapies, creating a synergistic approach to overall wellness.

Who Thyroid Optimization is For

Thyroid optimization may be right for you if you experience:

  • Unexplained fatigue or low energy

  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise

  • Mood swings, depression, or anxiety

  • Hair thinning, dry skin, or temperature sensitivity

  • Symptoms of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s

Not suitable for: Individuals with certain thyroid cancers or untreated heart conditions. A consultation and lab review ensure thyroid therapy is safe for you.
