According to the American Thyroid Association, more than 12% of the U.S. population will develop a thyroid condition at some point in life. Unfortunately, most of these patients will experience a standard of care that focuses solely on masking symptoms and does not address the root cause of disease. In fact, the only tools that traditional medicine utilizes for thyroid issues are basic testing and prescription medications (which often create even more health complications down the line). These limitations leave patients to fight the uphill battle of advocating for their own health in a surface-level system, all while dealing with significant health problems. 

Luckily, there ARE other options.

How is it Going for You?

Are you experiencing limited options?

Do you feel like doctors aren’t listening to you and are sweeping your symptoms under the rug?

Did a healthcare provider prescribe medication to you without even mentioning nutrition, environmental/lifestyle factors, or deep thyroid testing?

A holistic treatment philosophy that considers the medical, physical, neurological, and psychological aspects of an individual’s health, functional medicine focuses on treating the whole person rather than isolated diseases.  After identifying the root cause of disease, a thorough treatment protocol is developed to help provide relief from existing symptoms without causing additional damage or side effects.  

The thyroid, an endocrine gland that produces hormones and regulates metabolism, influences every cell, tissue, and organ in the body and directly impacts critical bodily functions, such as energy level and heart rate. When thyroid functioning is impaired, such as the case with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and a range of other complications, patients may deal with a range of serious symptoms that drastically affect quality of life, including: forgetfulness, extreme weight gain or loss, depression, fatigue, irritability, nervousness, muscle weakness, sleep disturbances, and vision problems, to name a few.
