How Thyroid Affects Weight Loss

The thyroid gland produces energy for the body and regulates the metabolism. Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, can lead to increased weight gain. Fluid retention and weight gain are common symptoms of low thyroid function. Hypothyroidism also causes other symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, cold sensitivity, muscle aches and pains, hair loss, and chronic infections, just to name a few.

Did you know that fluoride can also contribute to a slow metabolism? Fluoride exposure can disrupt the body’s ability to convert the inactive to the active thyroid hormone, causing a slow metabolism. Since the 1960’s, when fluoride was added to our water supply, the percentage of Americans who are overweight has increased from 15% to 80%!

Hypothyroidism is best diagnosed using clinical symptoms. Blood tests alone may not be the best indicator because the “normal” reference range for the TSH test is very wide. Join Dr. Hotze as he discusses how thyroid affects weight loss and learn how to live a life full of energy, vitality, and enthusiasm!

Jason Gourlas, MPAS, PA-C on the ADHD/Brain Support Program

Are you seeking answers to combat brain fog and mental decline, decrease your risk of dementia, or manage the challenges of ADHD? Unlocking the full potential of your mind is essential for a vibrant and fulfilling life. Your brain, often described as the command center (or CEO) of your body, plays a pivotal role in shaping your memory, cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and even your daily functioning, including motor skills and sensory perception.

Join Jason Gourlas, MPAS, PA-C, as he discusses the new ADHD/Brain program available at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. It’s not uncommon to hear people say “Oh, I’m so ADD!” when they are forgetful or can’t focus or concentrate. While we used to associate ADD or ADHD primarily with children, many adults today are being diagnosed with it, as well. Before you assume you have ADHD and go to a doctor who will prescribe dangerous stimulant drugs, you owe it to yourself to find the underlying cause of your symptoms. The good news is that there are natural solutions that can have a profound impact on your brain’s vitality and performance. Our goal is to work closely with you to empower you to take an active role in your health.

The Benefits of Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh– Pharmacist and Physician Liaison

Do you suffer from an autoimmune, gastrointestinal, or neurological condition that just will not resolve? This episode is for you! Naltrexone is a formula that has been available for over fifty years, and it works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which produce endorphins that make you feel better and help reduce pain.

Low-Dose Naltrexone can benefit a variety of other medical conditions, especially autoimmune disease, as it brings the immune system back into balance by controlling inflammation.

Oxytocin may be the answer!  Also known as “the love hormone,” Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone released in the brain that helps balance out stress hormones and restore a sense of calm. For patients with virus-related loss of smell or taste, Oxytocin can help heal the nerve endings in the nose and restore sensations of smell and taste. It can also help with insomnia, anxiety, adrenal fatigue, and to restore hormone balance.

Yeast-Free with Me 2024

Have you ever heard of the saying, “I have a gut feeling?” It’s true, as there are a ton of neurotransmitters in the gut, and your gut health affects your overall health! If your New Year’s Resolution is to take charge of your health, then you need to begin with your gut!  

A common problem that many people experience is yeast overgrowth, which can cause symptoms of weight gain, bloating, fatigue, brain fog, loose stools, yeast infections, and the list goes on. Yeast is in the fungus family and antibiotics are a common culprit for yeast overgrowth because they kill the healthy bacteria, along with the bad bacteria, but do not kill the yeast. Yeast grows on sugar, so eating a high-sugar eating plan also causes yeast overgrowth. 

Join Dr. Hotze as he discusses the symptoms of yeast overgrowth and the benefits of a yeast-free eating program. The Yeast-Free With Me program is an annual eating program sponsored by Physicians Preference Vitamins (www.PhysiciansPreferenceVitamins.com) to eliminate sugar and simple carbohydrates from your eating plan and cleanse your gut. Our goal is for you to have energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life.

We live in a toxic environment that negatively impacts our health and specifically our cellular function.

Today, it is used primarily for mitochondrial function and is only available at compounding pharmacies. People living with neurodegeneration (ALS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, dementia) can see improvement in symptoms with methylene blue. Methylene blue can also help with lack of focus, mood swings, and memory retention.
