Persistent fatigue, stubborn weight changes, and brain fog often trace back to a thyroid that’s shouting for help. We go beyond a quick TSH check to unravel all the factors influencing your thyroid—nutrients, antibodies, adrenals, gut health, and more—so you can reclaim steady energy and mental clarity.
Full thyroid profile – TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, TPO & Tg antibodies
Micronutrients – iodine, selenium, zinc, iron/ferritin, B‑12, vitamin D
Adrenal‑cortisol rhythm & sex hormones to uncover stress or estrogen dominance
Gut & toxin screens for dysbiosis, heavy metals, pesticides that hinder conversion
To steady glucose and hormones
For lean‑muscle support
Enjoyable movement to fire up metabolism
To reset cortisol and rebuild energy
Chosen for your unique biology (never a one‑size‑fits‑all list)
Standard TSH testing only provides a partial picture of thyroid function. Many people with "normal" TSH still have symptoms because other important markers like Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies aren't tested. Our comprehensive thyroid testing evaluates all aspects of thyroid function and identifies issues that standard testing often misses.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune form of hypothyroidism, where the immune system mistakenly attacks and gradually destroys the thyroid gland. This autoimmune process involves the production of specific antibodies, such as thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies, which target the thyroid. Hypothyroidism that is not Hashimoto's means the underactive thyroid is not due to an autoimmune attack by the immune system. Instead, it can be caused by factors such as iodine deficiency, nutrient depletions necessary for thyroid hormone production. Hashimoto's requires addressing the autoimmune component through functional medicine approaches like reducing inflammation, healing gut health, and identifying triggers, not just thyroid hormone replacement.
While Hashimoto's cannot be "cured," many patients achieve remission with significantly reduced thyroid antibodies and improved symptoms through functional medicine treatment. This involves identifying and addressing root causes like food sensitivities, gut infections, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental triggers while supporting immune system balance.
We recommend comprehensive thyroid testing including TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (TPO and Thyroglobulin), and sometimes thyroid-binding inhibitory immunoglobulins (TBII). We also assess related factors like vitamin D, B12, ferritin, and selenium levels, as these nutrients are crucial for optimal thyroid function.
Functional medicine treats Graves' disease by addressing autoimmune triggers and supporting immune system balance through personalized nutrition, stress management, gut healing, and targeted supplementation. While working alongside your endocrinologist, we focus on reducing thyroid antibodies, managing hyperthyroid symptoms naturally, and addressing root causes that triggered the autoimmune response.
