Hashimoto’s disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.—yet it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. At Patients Medical in NYC, we don’t just rely on basic thyroid lab tests. Our functional medicine team dives deep into root causes through advanced diagnostics, immune markers, gut health analysis, and hormone mapping to uncover the full picture behind your symptoms.
We treat the whole person, not just the thyroid.
Hashimoto’s disease, also known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This leads to inflammation and damage, which impairs the thyroid’s ability to produce thyroid hormones, causing symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Common symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease include:
While thyroid hormone replacement is a common treatment, many patients continue to experience symptoms. Our approach goes beyond just hormone replacement to address the underlying immune dysfunction and thyroid health.
Hashimoto’s often progresses slowly, and symptoms can be subtle—or mistaken for stress or aging. Look out for:
Most conventional doctors only test TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)—which may still appear normal even while autoimmunity is attacking the thyroid. This narrow view leads to delayed diagnoses, mislabeling symptoms, and missed opportunities for early intervention.
Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s don’t happen in isolation. We look at why your immune system became dysregulated in the first place. Root causes often include:
We go beyond basic labs with a full-spectrum integrative thyroid evaluation:
Melissa, age 40, struggled with fatigue, depression, and stubborn weight gain. Her primary doctor said her TSH was “normal.” At Patients Medical, deeper testing revealed:
Her personalized plan included:
Within 4 months, her energy returned, antibodies dropped by 60%, and her mood and metabolism rebounded—without medication.
Yes. Antibodies can be elevated long before TSH is affected.
Hashimoto’s is autoimmune; hypothyroidism is the end result of thyroid destruction.
TPO and TG antibodies combined with Free T3, Free T4, and Reverse T3.
Absolutely—especially gluten, dairy, and soy.
It’s a major contributor to autoimmunity. Healing the gut can reduce antibodies.
Not necessarily. Some patients heal enough to taper off under supervision.
Many patients do—with personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and supplements.
Autoimmunity can be put into remission with the right plan.
Yes. Chronic stress fuels adrenal-thyroid dysfunction.
We are out-of-network, but offer superbills. Many labs are reimbursable.
