Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.—yet it’s often misunderstood and mismanaged. At Patients Medical in New York City, we believe you deserve more than lifelong medication. Our integrative, functional medicine approach focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of Hashimoto’s disease so you can reclaim energy, balance, and thyroid function naturally.
We don’t just suppress symptoms—we restore your health.
Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune thyroid condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to chronic inflammation and underactive thyroid function (hypothyroidism). Over time, this damages thyroid tissue and disrupts metabolism, mood, and hormone balance.
Many patients suffer for years with vague symptoms before getting a proper diagnosis.
Hashimoto’s doesn’t happen randomly. Functional medicine uncovers why the immune system starts attacking the thyroid. Common triggers include:
We go beyond the standard TSH test. Our advanced testing helps us get to the root of your Hashimoto’s:
We personalize anti-inflammatory, autoimmune-friendly diets such as AIP, paleo, or gluten-free plans to calm the immune system and support thyroid function.
We use targeted supplements based on your labs:
All supplements are physician-selected and dosed for safety and effectiveness.
We offer customized IV infusions to boost energy, detoxification, and immune modulation.
We prescribe natural desiccated thyroid or bioidentical T3/T4 when needed—always tailored to your body’s needs and based on full thyroid panels.
We help you manage stress with acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, and mind-body support to reduce cortisol and autoimmunity triggers.
Priya, a 39-year-old teacher, came to us with chronic fatigue, hair loss, and cold sensitivity. Labs showed elevated TPO antibodies and low Free T3.
Her personalized 4-month integrative plan included:
Her antibody levels dropped by 60%, her energy improved, and her symptoms resolved—all without synthetic drugs.
It’s an autoimmune condition, often triggered by leaky gut, infections, toxins, or nutrient deficiencies.
Yes. Chronic stress raises cortisol, which suppresses thyroid function and worsens autoimmunity.
Genetics can increase your risk, but lifestyle and environment play a major role in activating the disease.
While it may not be fully “cured,” many people achieve remission and symptom-free living through functional medicine.
Gluten can mimic thyroid tissue and trigger immune attacks due to molecular mimicry.
Not always. Some improve with lifestyle changes alone, while others benefit from natural or bioidentical hormone support.
TSH isn’t enough. We test TPO/TG antibodies, Free T3/T4, Reverse T3, and more to understand your full thyroid picture.
Hashimoto’s is autoimmune-driven; hypothyroidism is the result. You can have normal TSH but still have autoimmune damage.
Diet is essential, but we often combine it with gut healing, detox, stress management, and nutrient therapy for best results.
Absolutely. We work alongside your current care to help reduce symptoms, lower antibodies, and restore optimal function.
