Hormone Optimisation & Thyroid Protocol

Comprehensive hormone evaluation and personalised replacement therapy covering testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones. Thyroid assessment includes TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, genetic hormone conversion testing, resting metabolic rate, and key nutrient cofactors. Protocols combine lab-guided prescribing with continuous monitoring to maintain optimal ranges for energy, body composition, and longevity.

Gladden Longevity's hormone optimisation programme in Irving, Texas offers one of the most thorough endocrine evaluations available in the Dallas–Fort Worth market. Rather than treating hormone levels as a single number against a reference range, the clinic interprets results in the context of a client's full biology — including metabolic rate, body composition, sleep quality, and cardiovascular risk. For testosterone optimisation, both men and women are assessed. In men, the programme addresses total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, oestradiol, DHT, and DHEA-S. Dosing protocols consider symptom burden alongside labs, and ongoing monitoring catches any downstream effects early. For women, the programme covers oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone alongside cycle phase, adrenal output, and peri/post-menopausal status. The thyroid protocol is notably detailed. Many Dallas-area hormone clinics run only TSH. Gladden Longevity runs the full thyroid axis — TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies. Genetic testing for hormone conversion polymorphisms (notably DIO2) identifies clients who convert T4 poorly and benefit from direct T3 support. Resting metabolic rate is measured to cross-validate the labs. Nutrient cofactors critical for thyroid function — iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron — are assessed and addressed in supplementation protocols. Hormone prescriptions are individualised and adjusted through quarterly monitoring visits. Clients across the Dallas metro area (Plano, Frisco, Southlake, Fort Worth) access the programme as part of their membership tier. HSA and FSA funds may apply to eligible services.
