Clinical Overview

How we investigate and address this condition

Standard care frequently tests only TSH and declares labs 'normal' even when patients are losing hair, freezing, and gaining weight. We test a full 7-marker thyroid panel including antibodies and Reverse T3 to identify autoimmune triggers and conversion failure.

Common Symptoms & Signs Patients Experience:

Extreme cold intolerance (hands and feet always cold)

Unexplained weight gain despite diet compliance

Outer third eyebrow loss and diffuse hair thinning

Chronic constipation, sluggish digestion, and puffy face

Depression, slow thinking, and morning exhaustion

Upstream Root Drivers We Target:

1TPO and Thyroglobulin antibody attack on thyroid tissue (Hashimoto's)

2Poor T4-to-T3 conversion in the liver and gut microbiome

3Elevated Reverse T3 blocking active thyroid receptors due to chronic stress

4Nutrient co-factor gaps

The Protocol

Our Structured Approach

We don't guess — we test, prioritize, implement, and track measurable improvement.

01

Full 7-Marker Thyroid Evaluation

Moving beyond TSH to verify cellular active Free T3 levels and antibody load.

02

Immune Trigger Identification

Identifying dietary (gluten, dairy) and environmental (mold, gut dysbiosis) triggers perpetuating antibody attacks.

03

Conversion Cofactor Replenishment

Targeted supplementation with selenium, zinc, and active B vitamins to optimize peripheral conversion of T4 into active T3.

04

Medication Optimization Where Needed

Collaborating compounded T4/T3, T4 only, Desiccated thyroid or Armour Thyroid formulations when hormone replacement is clinically warranted.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my primary care doctor say my thyroid was fine?

Standard reference ranges for TSH are very broad (0.45 – 4.5). Functional medicine uses optimal functional ranges (1.0 – 2.0) and checks Free T3 and antibodies, which are frequently missed in standard checkups.
