What’s the deal with thyroids? Seriously—this little butterfly-shaped gland in your neck has one job: manage your metabolism. It’s small, it’s quiet, and it’s doing its thing. But the minute it gets out of whack? Everything else starts acting up.
Welcome to the world of thyroid and parathyroid disorders, Fresno. Where feeling too hot isn’t just because of the triple-digit temps, and feeling too tired isn’t just because you watched one too many episodes of that streaming show you said you’d “just try.”
At Spring Endocrinology in Fresno, we specialize in diagnosing and treating thyroid and parathyroid conditions—and not just because we like saying "parathyroid." We’re talking real medical solutions for real people dealing with fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, bone loss, and more.
So if your body's sending signals that feel more scrambled than a weather forecast in July, let’s talk about how you can stay balanced all summer long.
These two sound like a pair of 90s cartoon sidekicks, but they’re actually crucial players in your body’s hormonal game.
This little gland controls how fast your body uses energy. It influences your heart rate, how quickly you burn calories, your mood, and even how well you sleep.
When your thyroid is:
Underactive (Hypothyroidism): You feel sluggish, cold, constipated, and maybe even a little down in the dumps.
Overactive (Hyperthyroidism): You’re hot, sweaty, anxious, jittery, and wondering why your heart’s beating like you just ran a marathon—even though you’ve only walked to the fridge.
Tiny glands behind the thyroid (yes, behind it—they’re shy), these control your calcium levels. If your parathyroid is overactive, it pulls calcium from your bones and dumps it into your blood.
That means you could be dealing with:
Kidney stones (surprise!)
Bone loss or osteoporosis
Fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog (which we all chalk up to summer heat, but nope—it might be your parathyroid)
See? These glands may be small, but when they’re out of balance, your entire summer can go sideways.
Let’s not play guessing games. At Spring Endocrinology, we’ve seen it all—and we’re ready to help you feel like yourself again.
Low thyroid hormone levels = everything slows down. If you're feeling tired, gaining weight, constipated, cold, or just off—this could be the culprit.
Too much thyroid hormone = everything speeds up. Weight loss, racing heart, anxiety, hair loss? Not fun, not healthy.
An autoimmune form of hyperthyroidism that makes your thyroid go full-speed even when you’re not. It also can lead to thyroid eye disease—yeah, even your eyes get in on the chaos.
Lumps or swelling in the thyroid. Not always dangerous, but they can affect function and need monitoring.
When your parathyroid glands start overproducing hormone, calcium levels go through the roof—not great for your bones or your kidneys.
Look, thyroid and parathyroid issues can be sneaky. You don’t wake up one day thinking, “Hmm, I bet my calcium levels are off today.”
But here’s a list of red flags you shouldn’t ignore:
Constant fatigue (even after 8 hours of sleep)
Unexplained weight gain or loss
Anxiety or depression
Heat or cold intolerance
Brain fog or memory issues
Irregular heartbeat
Brittle bones or frequent fractures
Muscle cramps or tingling in your hands and feet
And if you’re chalking it all up to “just getting older” or “it’s probably the weather,” do yourself a favor—get tested.
Here’s where we get down to business.
We don’t do “quick fix” medicine. We start with a full medical history, symptoms review, and targeted lab tests—including thyroid hormone levels, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and imaging if needed.
Because no two people are the same, your treatment is tailored to your body and your lifestyle. Depending on your diagnosis, this could include:
Medication to restore balance (like levothyroxine or antithyroid meds)
Calcium and Vitamin D regulation
Parathyroid surgery referrals for severe cases
Ongoing monitoring to keep things in check long-term
We're here for the long haul, not just the one-and-done.
Let’s be honest: summer is when we notice stuff more.
You’re more active, so fatigue feels worse.
You wear lighter clothes, so sudden weight changes become more obvious.
You’re socializing more, and mood swings? They don’t go unnoticed.
You’re out in the sun, but still feeling cold? That’s suspicious.
Plus, hot weather can mask symptoms. You feel drained? “It’s just the heat.” Heart racing? “Probably just dehydration.” Let’s not guess—let’s know.
At Spring Endocrinology, we make it easy to check your levels, get answers, and take action—so your summer feels like, well, summer.
We’re not some faceless clinic churning out cookie-cutter treatments. We’re your neighbors. Your guides. And honestly, probably your thyroid’s new best friend.
