Together, we’ll utilize a functional medicine approach to improve thyroid hormone production by treating the root cause which can include nutrient deficiency, poor stress management, autoimmunity, and poor gut health. Rise’s virtual functional medicine program utilizes comprehensive testing and personalized interventions to improve your thyroid health from the comfort of your own home.
Our Approach to Thyroid Health May Include Multiple Modalities
Thyroid dysfunction treatment truly depends on the underlying root cause.
It is common practice to only check TSH. Common thyroid labs I order in addition to TSH include: urinary iodine, ferritin, serum zinc and copper, and a full thyroid panel (including free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies).
Treatments include replenishment of deficiencies, gut restoration protocol, low dose naltrexone, thyroid hormone replacement, and personalized stress management techniques.
Once thyroid hormones are improved, you may experience:
Improved energy
Improved mood and cognitive function
Healthier appearance of skin
Regular bowel movements
Reduced bloating
Improved sleep
