Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.—and it’s far more serious than many realize. Left untreated or improperly managed, it can affect every organ system, leading to fatigue, brain fog, infertility, depression, weight gain, and autoimmune complications.
At Patients Medical in NYC, we don’t just manage your thyroid levels—we investigate why your immune system is attacking your thyroid. Using an integrative, functional medicine approach, we personalize your care to help you reclaim energy, balance hormones, and reduce autoimmunity.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and reduced hormone production (hypothyroidism).
Over time, Hashimoto’s can destroy thyroid tissue, leading to chronic fatigue, metabolism issues, and other systemic effects.
Very serious—if ignored. While symptoms may start mildly, the condition can silently worsen for years. If left untreated or mismanaged, Hashimoto’s can:
That’s why early diagnosis and integrative, personalized care are essential.
At Patients Medical, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and understanding Hashimoto’s disease. Our diagnostic tests include:
Rachel, age 42, came to us with constant exhaustion, hair thinning, and anxiety. Despite normal TSH, her TPO antibodies were elevated, and her gut microbiome showed dysbiosis and candida overgrowth.
Results: Rachel’s antibody levels dropped by 60%, energy returned, sleep improved, and she lost 12 pounds—all without increasing her medication dose.
While the autoimmune process can’t be “cured,” you can reduce antibodies, restore function, and feel dramatically better with the right support.
Some patients do, but with healing, dosages may decrease. Others stabilize through integrative care alone.
We look beyond TSH and treat root causes, not just lab numbers.
There’s a genetic link—but lifestyle, gut health, and stress often determine expression.
Hypothyroidism is low thyroid function. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune attack that causes it.
This is common. We test free T3, T4, antibodies, and reverse T3 for a full picture.
Yes—gluten, sugar, and dairy can worsen inflammation. We guide you with tailored nutrition plans.
They are markers of autoimmunity against the thyroid. Reducing them is key.
Absolutely. Chronic stress increases cortisol, which worsens immune dysfunction.
We are out-of-network but provide superbills for reimbursement. Many labs may be partially covered.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
