Deborah A. age 51 lives in Brooklyn. She is a professional makeup artist, competitive ballroom dancer, and licensed wildlife rehabber.
Life was going fine until one day Deborah notice she was feeling fatigued and weak all day long and she could not shake it off as she had done in the past. To make matters worse, Deborah also experienced insomnia, nervousness, forgetfulness and unexplained weight gain.
At this point, she panicked and started researching on the internet to find the cause of these problems. so, she would have the ability to keep up with her fast pace life as her livelihood depended on it.
Deborah did some research online on her symptoms including fatigue, weakness, insomnia, nervousness, forgetfulness and unexplained weight gain. She concluded that perhaps she was having thyroid and hormone problems.
The internet is also a huge somewhat contradictory source of information and she soon became overwhelmed with all the possibilities, Deborah asked herself.
Deborah saw terms like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroid, Graves disease, thyroid nodules, TSH levels and TSH test just to name a few.
Deborah became depressed with all the knowledge she did not know. Her head began to spin but her keen intuition told her she must find a person that did have the knowledge and expertise to help her.
She did know that she was tired of being tired.
After doing in-depth online research Deborah selected Patients Medical (the oldest holistic wellness center in NY) to help her with her thyroid problems. She was impressed with Dr. Gulatti’s credentials. Unlike most holistic doctors in the New York area, Dr. Rashmi Gulati is a Board Certified Holistic Internal Medicine Practitioner with two MD's - one each in Internal Medicine and Pathology. Dr. Gulati has over 20 years of medical experience and has hospital privileges at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan and a very convenient location on Fifth Avenue and 96th Street in Manhattan.
Deborah came in to meet Dr. Gulati, she loved that the staff was very friendly, and Dr. Gulati always meets her with a warm smile.
At the first medical consultation, Dr. Gulati gave Deborah an in-depth evaluation and discussion about one hour long. Deborah was very surprised about the length of her first visit because most of her visits to her past physician ’s were about 10 minutes where they just wanted to address the symptoms of her medical needs and give her medication.
Deborah discovered that at Patients Medical the physicians work to identify the root cause of her medical problem so they can eliminate it forever (if possible) from her body. So, she was happy that the visit was so in-depth and did not mind it taking an hour or more.
Upon completion of the discussion and examination, Dr. Gulati gave Deborah a "Protocol Sheet" summarizing the findings and a proposed plan of action.
Deborah plan of action included blood, stool urine, testing (including TRH (Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone) Challenge test), recommendations on supplements and a couple of prescriptions. Deborah plan of action was just for Deborah at Patients Medical no 2 patients are treated the same, your plan of action depends upon your specific medical needs.
After a couple of months of following the plan of action Dr. Gulati made for her, Deborah’s thyroid & hormones were totally balanced and as an added bonus Deborah’s cholesterol level was lower with Dr. Gulati in-depth combination of elixirs.
Deborah went on to tell Dr. Gulati that she "never felt better" In fact she wrote the review below in Yelp:
Her Yelp review:
I cannot imagine what I would have done without Dr. Gulati. She is an amazing Doctor and I have been seeing her for almost a year. I have never felt better! I trust her so much with everything she asks me to do. Very bizarre to see the negative opinions. She has totally balanced my thyroid & hormones. Yes, it is a costly and long process, but she does things in increments, so your body can handle the changes. The staff is very friendly, and the medical center is calming. She always greets me with a friendly smile and truly enjoys seeing my progress. She has brought down my cholesterol level with her magical combination of elixirs. I just do what she recommends, and it works. She's awesome!https://www.instagram.com/deborahaltiziomakeup/?hl=en

As the master gland, your thyroid is central to all of your body’s major functions. It influences your metabolism, digestion, energy, body temperature, skin, hair, sleep, mental acuity, nervous system, sex organs, and hormonal system. In fact, it would be very difficult to find a system that is NOT influenced by the thyroid.
When your thyroid is off-balance, most likely, you will feel pretty lousy. Whether your thyroid is working too fast (hyperthyroidism) or working too slow (hypothyroidism), or a combination of the two, there will be trouble. A properly-functioning thyroid helps maintain a delicate balance through a set of complex feedback loops that ultimately define the rate and efficiency of many of our metabolic processes. The thyroid indirectly – but powerfully – influences the way we feel physically, mentally and emotionally.
Because of the thyroid’s widespread effects, malfunction can significantly affect a person’s life and poses a detriment to long-term health. Learning more about the thyroid itself can help you understand why it is important to work with a physician who truly understands the complexities of the organ.
If you’ve been tested for thyroid disease and your TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) test diagnostics reveal that your levels are “within normal range”, but you still are feeling unbalanced, it’s time for more comprehensive testing. Conventional doctors only use the TSH test, which measures your thyroid function from a limited perspective.
Our holistic physicians offer a variety of tests that diagnose “subclinical” thyroid conditions that most conventional doctors miss. Patients Medicaloffers tests for T3, T4, Free T3, Free T4, anti-thyroid antibodies and the TRH Challenge test. These additional tests help our doctors analyze the various aspects of thyroid function and pinpoint the exact dysfunction so that they can better prescribe a treatment plan that will get you feeling better more quickly.
The TRH test is a valuable component of this process. Especially for those cases that are difficult to diagnose through the more common types of testing, the TRH (Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone) Challenge test is essential for analyzing the relationship between the thyroid, the pituitary gland and they hypothalamus gland. Plainly stated, it measures the thyroid’s communication with your brain.
