The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. Its primary function is to regulate the body's metabolism by producing and releasing thyroid hormones.

Whenever we are looking at lab panels, we always assess the thyroid and check folks for Hashimotos Thyroiditis. We want a nice Free T4, a great Free T3 and less Reverse T3 to help support our bodily functions!

🧠 Free T4 itself doesn't act much directly; instead, it serves as a precursor to T3, the active thyroid hormone.

🧠 Free T3 helps regulate:

🔥 Metabolism (how your body uses energy)

❤️ Heart rate

🌡️ Body temperature

🧠 Brain function and mood

🦴 Bone health

🔄 What Is Reverse T3?
Your body converts T4 → T3 (active) or T4 → rT3 (inactive).

Reverse T3 is structurally similar to T3 but does not activate thyroid hormone receptors.

It actually blocks T3 from binding, acting like a "brake" on metabolism.

Are you aging in dog years?

I am always assessing DHEA Sulfate on folks and here's why we need to replace it if it's low:

⏳ Slows Aspects of Aging

🔄 Hormone Precursor
*Converts into testosterone and estrogen.
*Plays a critical role in balancing s*x hormones, especially during aging.

🧬 Supports Sexual and Reproductive Health
*Affects libido (s*x drive) in both men and women.
*Influences fertility and menstrual cycles.

🧠 Affects Mood and Cognitive Function
*May support memory, focus, and emotional well-being.
*Low DHEA is sometimes associated with depression and fatigue.

💪 Regulates Body Composition
*Helps maintain muscle mass, reduce fat accumulation, and support bone density.

🛡️ Supports Immune Function
*Modulates the immune system and may have anti-inflammatory properties.

We are all in this together!
Kemper Health and Wellness will be with Balanced Shield August 1st in Bainbridge, Indiana!

Balanced Shield is an insightful course presented by Levi App, a US Navy Veteran and current Law Enforcement Professional with extensive experience in high-stress career fields. Throughout the course, App delves into the intricate connections between mental health and physical well-being, drawing from his personal journey. He candidly shares the perils he faced as the stressors from both his professional and personal life threatened to overwhelm him, ultimately leading him down a treacherous path. However, App's story also highlights how he regained control and learned the transformative power of "Balance" in his life.

The Balanced Shield course not only fosters resilience but also emphasizes the importance of mindfulness. With a strong focus on recognizing the symptoms of mental distress and overcoming the associated stigma, the program equips participants with the tools to cultivate a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

We offer biotin injections!

Biotin injections—typically containing vitamin B7—are often promoted for various health and beauty benefits. Here are the main benefits associated with biotin injections:

💉 Improved Hair Health
*Promotes hair growth and may help reduce hair thinning or hair loss.
*Strengthens hair strands, making them thicker and shinier.
*May be beneficial for people with biotin deficiency-related alopecia.

💉 Improved Skin
*Supports skin hydration and smoothness.

💉 Stronger Nails
*Helps reduce brittle or splitting nails.
*Encourages nail growth and strength.

💉 Energy and Metabolism Support
*Biotin plays a key role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.

💉 Supports Nervous System Function
*Essential for neurological health.
*May help improve cognitive function and prevent nerve damage in people with a deficiency.

💉 Why Use Injections Instead of Oral Supplements?💉

*Better absorption: Especially in people with gastrointestinal issues or malabsorption problems.

*Faster results: Injections deliver biotin directly into the bloodstream.

*Ideal for people with severe biotin deficiency or who cannot tolerate oral supplements.
