What is Hypothyroidism
At FITCLINIC, our specialists explain that hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This leads to a slowed metabolism, affecting weight, energy levels, heart health, nervous system function, and mood stability.
Specialized Hormonal Therapy
We provide hormone replacement therapy using levothyroxine, with precise dosage adjustments to restore health and vitality.
Nutrition Strategies and Weight Management
Since weight gain and slow metabolism are common in hypothyroid patients, we implement long-term weight management programs. Our specialists design personalized diet plans rich in iodine, selenium, and zinc to support thyroid function and enhance metabolism.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
We utilize advanced blood tests and thyroid function assessments to ensure accurate diagnosis and continuous monitoring of hormone levels. This allows us to make precise adjustments to treatment plans for optimal results.
Lifestyle and Wellness Support
Beyond medication, we provide guidance on stress management, sleep optimization, and physical activity to improve overall well-being. Our holistic approach helps patients regain energy, reduce symptoms, and enhance their quality of life.

At FITCLINIC, we use the latest diagnostic techniques to ensure an accurate and effective assessment, including:
- Hormonal blood tests – TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies
- Comprehensive clinical examination
- Lifestyle and medical history analysis to identify factors affecting thyroid function
