Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's is autoimmune thyroid disease. We go beyond TSH to evaluate immune drivers, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental triggers fueling the autoimmune process.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, hair loss, constipation, brain fog, and mood changes despite medication.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Gut permeability, gluten cross-reactivity, selenium and vitamin D deficiency, chronic stress, and EBV reactivation.
Functional Evaluation
Full thyroid panel (TSH, free T3/T4, TPO/TG antibodies), micronutrient testing (selenium, zinc, D, iron), and gut permeability assessment.
Treatment Approach
Thyroid hormone optimization, gluten-free trial, selenium and vitamin D, gut-healing protocols, and immune-modulating strategies.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for severe fatigue with confusion, very slow heart rate, or myxedema symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why test more than just TSH?
TSH alone misses conversion problems (T4 to T3) and rising antibodies that indicate active immune attack.
Does gluten affect Hashimoto's?
Research suggests gluten may worsen autoimmune thyroid disease due to molecular mimicry between gliadin and thyroid tissue.
Can Hashimoto's go into remission?
Antibody levels can often be significantly reduced through diet, gut healing, and nutrient repletion, though results vary.
