What is Thyroid Optimization?

Thyroid optimization goes beyond simply checking your TSH levels. Our comprehensive approach examines the complete thyroid panel, including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to create a complete picture of your thyroid function.

Unlike conventional medicine that often relies solely on TSH and synthetic T4 medication, we recognize that many patients continue to experience symptoms despite "normal" lab values. Our approach focuses on optimizing your thyroid hormones to their ideal functional ranges, not just bringing them within the broad "normal" laboratory ranges.

Signs You May Need Thyroid Support

• •  Persistent fatigue despite adequate sleep
  •  Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  •  Hair loss or thinning hair
  •  Cold intolerance (always feeling cold)
  •  Brain fog and memory issues
  •  Dry skin and brittle nails
  •  Depression or anxiety
  •  Constipation
  •  Muscle aches and joint pain
  •  Menstrual irregularities or fertility issues

Our Thyroid Optimization Approach 

1. Comprehensive Testing: We analyze your complete thyroid panel, not just TSH.
2. Personalized Medication: We prescribe the right type of thyroid medication for your specific needs, whether that's T4, T3, or a combination.
3. Nutrient Optimization: We identify and address key nutrient deficiencies that impact thyroid function.
4. Hashimoto's Management: For autoimmune thyroid conditions, we use Low Dose Naltrexone to reduce antibodies and manage inflammation. 
5. Gut Health Support: We address the critical gut-thyroid connection to improve hormone conversion and absorption.
6.   Adrenal Balance: We optimize adrenal function, which directly impacts thyroid performance.

The Hashimoto's Connection 

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, yet it's frequently overlooked in conventional care. This autoimmune condition requires a different approach than simple hypothyroidism. Our protocol addresses the immune system dysfunction at the root of Hashimoto's while optimizing thyroid hormone levels.

Your Thyroid Optimization Journey 

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and thorough lab testing. Based on your results, we'll create a personalized thyroid optimization protocol that may include prescription medications, targeted supplements, and lifestyle modifications. Regular follow-up appointments ensure your protocol evolves as your health improves.
