Millions of people suffer from low thyroid function and don’t even know it. Many are told they simply have “hypothyroidism,” but are never tested for Hashimoto’s disease, the most common autoimmune cause.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we look beyond TSH levels. We combine conventional endocrinology with functional medicine and holistic therapies to identify root causes—and help you truly heal.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones to meet your body’s needs. It can be caused by a variety of factors—nutrient deficiencies, stress, medications, or autoimmune attack.
Symptoms include:
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition—your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid tissue, gradually damaging it. Over time, this leads to hypothyroidism.
Hashimoto’s is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.
It’s not just about low thyroid output—it’s an immune system issue that requires a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Conventional care rarely asks why your thyroid is struggling. We do.
Functional medicine identifies deeper causes such as:
We go far beyond basic TSH testing. At Patients Medical, we run:
We create custom thyroid-supportive meal plans that reduce inflammation and nourish your thyroid. These may include:
We prescribe medical-grade supplements to restore balance:
All dosages are tailored and monitored by your care team.
If needed, we prescribe bioidentical thyroid hormones (T4 and/or T3) and optimize related hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone for whole-body healing.
IV infusions of vitamin C, B12, magnesium, and glutathione support detox, immune health, and energy.
We use therapies like acupuncture, guided breathwork, infrared sauna, and adaptogenic herbs to reduce inflammation and calm the autoimmune process.
Olivia, 39, came to us with chronic fatigue, hair loss, and brain fog. Her TSH was “normal,” but she had never been tested for Hashimoto’s.
After thorough testing, we found:
Her custom 4-month plan included:
By month four, Olivia’s energy soared, brain fog lifted, and her antibodies dropped by over 50%.
No—Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease that often causes hypothyroidism. But not all hypothyroidism is autoimmune.
While the autoimmune tendency may remain, inflammation and antibody levels can be lowered—and symptoms significantly improved or reversed.
Some do, some don’t. We help you explore all your options through comprehensive care.
Many conventional doctors only check TSH. We dig deeper to uncover root causes.
Absolutely. Removing inflammatory triggers like gluten and processed foods can reduce antibodies and improve function.
