Hyperthyroidism—an overactive thyroid—is often misunderstood and mismanaged with short-term fixes. At Patients Medical in New York City, we approach this condition differently.
Instead of masking symptoms with medications alone, our integrative team investigates the underlying imbalances that cause your thyroid to become overactive. Using a blend of conventional medicine, functional diagnostics, and holistic therapies, we work to restore long-term thyroid balance—naturally and sustainably.
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone (T3 and T4), accelerating the body’s metabolism. This overstimulation can affect nearly every system in the body—heart, digestion, brain, skin, and more.
Hyperthyroidism can present subtly or dramatically. Many people may dismiss early signs as stress or hormonal fluctuations. Look out for:
At Patients Medical, we don’t just ask what’s wrong—we ask why. Functional medicine looks beyond the thyroid to the deeper biological imbalances that drive hyperthyroidism.
We go far beyond basic labs. Our thyroid evaluations include:
We guide patients toward gluten-free, dairy-free, nutrient-rich diets to reduce autoimmunity and inflammation.
A leaky or inflamed gut is often at the root of autoimmunity. We use:
Our physicians recommend herbs and nutrients clinically proven to regulate thyroid function:
Chronic stress can overstimulate the thyroid. We implement:
In women, estrogen dominance may aggravate thyroid autoimmunity. We assess and gently correct hormonal imbalances using natural hormone therapy where appropriate.
We help the liver and lymph system clear toxins that may trigger thyroid dysfunction. Includes:
Emily, age 39, came to us with tremors, rapid weight loss, and anxiety. Her TSH was suppressed, T3/T4 were elevated, and her TSI (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin) confirmed Graves’ disease. She was advised to consider radioactive iodine therapy.
Instead, she chose our integrative path.
We implemented:
Within 4 months, her T3/T4 levels normalized, and her antibodies began to decline. Today, Emily is symptom-free without conventional thyroid destruction.
In many cases—yes. With proper gut healing, autoimmune calming, and nutrient repletion, symptoms and labs can normalize.
Yes. We aim to preserve thyroid tissue and balance immune overactivity with natural interventions.
Absolutely. Chronic cortisol elevation can trigger or worsen hyperthyroid conditions.
Not immediately. We may taper under supervision if natural support stabilizes your levels
Yes—when customized and monitored by our functional medicine team.
Most patients see symptom relief in 6–12 weeks. Autoantibody decline may take 3–6 months.
In many cases, anti-inflammatory and gluten-free diets significantly reduce symptoms—especially for autoimmune types.
We still support your remaining gland and optimize metabolism with integrative strategies.
Yes. While more common in women, men with thyroid disorders benefit greatly from our care.
We don’t treat lab numbers—we treat the whole person. Our care combines science, lifestyle, and root-cause healing.
