Restore Energy. Balance Hormones. Reclaim Your Life.

Traditional treatment typically focuses on diagnosing and treating overt hypothyroidism using TSH levels and prescribing levothyroxine (T4 only). Thyroid optimization, on the other hand, takes a more comprehensive and individualized approach by assessing the full thyroid panel and addressing subtle imbalances, symptoms, and overall hormone health.

A full thyroid panel goes beyond the basic TSH test and includes:

• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)

• Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)

• Free T4 (Thyroxine)

• Reverse T3

• Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies

• Thyroglobulin antibodies

These values give us a more complete picture of how well your thyroid is functioning and where imbalances may exist.

Even if your labs are "normal," you may still experience symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, including:

• Persistent fatigue

• Brain fog or poor concentration

• Weight gain or inability to lose weight

• Cold intolerance

• Thinning hair or hair loss

• Irregular menstrual cycles

• Depression or anxiety

• Dry skin or brittle nails

We don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Based on your lab values, symptoms, and response to treatment, we may recommend:

• T4-only therapy (Levothyroxine)

• T3/T4 combination therapy

• Desiccated thyroid extract (natural thyroid)

• Adjusted dosages based on Free T3/Free T4 ratios

• Ongoing lab monitoring and symptom tracking

Your plan will be tailored to your individual needs and health goals.

Yes. The thyroid plays a central role in regulating multiple body systems. Imbalances can impact:

• Mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, irritability)

• Reproductive health (e.g., irregular cycles, infertility)

• Cardiovascular health (e.g., cholesterol, blood pressure)

• Digestive function and metabolism

That’s why a holistic approach is essential for long-term wellness.

Most patients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and mental clarity within 4 to 8 weeks. However, full optimization and fine-tuning your dosage may take several months. Regular follow-ups and lab work help ensure you're progressing safely and effectively.

Yes. In addition to treating thyroid hormone imbalances, we explore contributing factors such as:

• Nutrient deficiencies (iron, selenium, iodine, etc.)

• Chronic stress and adrenal fatigue

• Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

• Gut health and inflammation

• Environmental toxin exposure

This root-cause approach helps prevent recurrence and supports long-term health.

Yes, when overseen by an experienced healthcare provider and guided by lab results, thyroid optimization is a safe and effective way to restore balance. We carefully monitor your symptoms and labs to ensure your treatment plan is both effective and well-tolerated.
