Thyroid disorders are some of the most underdiagnosed and mismanaged hormonal conditions today. At Patients Medical in New York City, we believe thyroid health isn’t just about your TSH level. We look deeper—testing the full hormone cascade, identifying autoimmune triggers, and exploring the root causes of imbalance using a functional medicine lens.
If you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, weight changes, hair thinning, mood swings, or fertility struggles—your thyroid could be the missing link.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck. It produces hormones—mainly T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine)—that regulate metabolism, energy, brain function, and body temperature.
Many thyroid issues go undiagnosed for years due to incomplete testing. Symptoms include:
Functional medicine digs deep into the root causes of thyroid dysfunction. Here’s what we look for:
We offer a complete and advanced panel—not just TSH. Your labs may include:
Samantha, age 34, came in with weight gain, depression, and irregular periods. Her TSH was “normal” but she still felt off. We ran a full thyroid panel and discovered Hashimoto’s with elevated antibodies, low Free T3, and poor adrenal function.
Her custom treatment plan included:
Result: Within 12 weeks, Samantha’s energy returned, her cycles regulated, and her antibodies began to drop.
TSH is a starting point but often misses deeper issues like low Free T3 or autoimmunity.
Yes. Many patients have “normal” TSH but abnormal Free T3, high antibodies, or poor conversion rates.
Yes. We use Armour, NP Thyroid, compounded T3/T4, and others as needed.
It’s not curable, but we can often reduce antibodies and control symptoms naturally.
Absolutely. Diet is a major part of thyroid healing—especially gluten-free and anti-inflammatory approaches.
Only if tested and monitored—excess iodine can worsen autoimmunity.
Yes. Stress and cortisol imbalance often suppress thyroid function.
Free T3 is active; Reverse T3 is inactive and blocks Free T3. High rT3 may signal stress or illnes.
We are an out-of-network provider but offer superbills. Many lab tests may be reimbursable.
Some notice improvements within weeks. Deeper healing may take 2–4 months.
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.
