The thyroid hormone plays a major role in regulating different bodily functions and metabolism. When the thyroid is malfunctioning many organs will suffer. Often you may have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as hair loss, brittle nails, constipation, dry skin, poor memory, poor concentration, and cold sensitivity. Your TSH level may be normal.  When the basal body temperature is low and reflexes are slow you may be suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism.  Dr. Lalezar will recommend a natural thyroid supplement to improve thyroid receptor sensitivity. Heavy metal detoxification and adrenal supplements are also necessary to repair your thyroid function.  Generally, chelation therapy enhances the conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) into T3 (active thyroid hormone) and reduces RT3, which is the root cause of subclinical hypothyroidism.  Chelation therapy reverses this poor thyroid hormone conversion and restores optimal thyroid function.

Testimonials

I cannot thank Dr. Lalezar enough for her help. Last year, while I was attending college in Los Angeles, I began suffering adrenal fatigue, IBS type symptoms, and overall feeling lousy- brain fog, tired all of the time, weight gain, hypothyroidism, etc. My previous doctor checked all of my hormone levels and found I was only making trace amounts of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which explains why I was so fatigued and was no longer having my period. However, her only solution was to prescribe birth control. I was dissatisfied with this solution (or lack of) that I searched for a functional medicine physician to help me get to the root cause of my symptoms.

I was impressed by how determined Dr. Lalezar was to help me figure out my health issues. She did a few different lab tests including a heavy metal test and a stool analysis. Turns out a had high levels of mercury in my system and many of my symptoms stemmed from this toxicity. I continued going back to the Health and Vitality center routinely for chelation treatments and was also on an individualized supplement regimen. After the first couple of treatments my energy improved immensely and after a few months I was back to feeling my best.

Sherry, Christine and Dr. Lalezar are such nice people and the center itself is relaxing and welcoming. I definitely recommend Dr. Lalezar because she had a unique approach to addressing my issues and was able to solve my health problems when other doctors could not.

Dr Lalezar is absolutely amazing! I came in with skin issues, chronic fatigue, brian fog, and was well on my way to developing hypothyroid and Dr Lalezar changed my life. She did all of the tests that NO OTHER DR WOULD DO, to completely analyze the state of my health and tell me exactly what was going on in my body. She cleared up symptoms that I didn’t even realize were symptoms :). I have tons of energy, 0 brain fog, and my hormones are under control. We have chelated an obscene amount of mercury out of my system and are well on our way to repairing my leaky gut. I am forever grateful to Dr Lalezar for her continued help and support.
