Are you experiencing the effects of low thyroid function although your blood tests have been interpreted as “normal?” Join us for “Hypothyroid: the Silent Epidemic” workshop on Saturday, August 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Bend Pilates. This free workshop will be led by Dr. Shanhong Lu, MD, PhD, who will discuss the causes, symptoms and potential treatment of hypothyroidism.
Additionally, Dr. Lu will offer OligoScan testing and consultations between 5 and 6 p.m. for $100 per person. You must know your blood type prior to this non-invasive test, which evaluates mineral, heavy metal and oxidative stress levels.
Some of the symptoms of an under-functioning thyroid include weight gain despite diet and exercise, immune system challenges, musculoskeletal pain, digestive issues, reproductive issues, cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol, cold hands and feet, difficulty focusing or “brain fog,” swelling and puffiness, and brittle nails, dry skin and thinning hair.
Dr. Lu is an internist certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, as well as rhythmic bio-identical hormone replacement. She also has a PdD in Human Physiology and a post-doctoral fellowship in the Genetics of Hypertension at UCSF. She is the medical director of Mt. Shasta Integrative Medicine and has helped thousands of patients for over 17 years by bridging the gap between Eastern and Western medicine.
Please RSVP to Debby Mandeville-Bowen for the free workshop, and RSVP to Dr. Lu for the OligoScan testing. Email us for more information, or call us at 541.647.0876.
