Our Whole-Person Integrative Care Model

Patients Medical blends conventional medical expertise with functional and holistic therapies. Our thyroid treatment plans address not just hormones, but the upstream causes that affect thyroid performance — including gut health, stress response, nutrient levels, toxins, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan May Include

  • Thyroid hormone balancing (T4, T3, or combination therapy when appropriate)
  • Nutrient repletion (oral or IV supplementation)
  • Anti-inflammatory and thyroid-supportive nutrition
  • Gut-healing protocols for Hashimoto’s or autoimmune disease
  • Adrenal support to improve stress response
  • Detoxification support if toxins or mold affect thyroid function
  • Mitochondrial and metabolic support for energy
  • Medication management when needed
  • Lifestyle optimization for sleep, stress, and weight balance
  • Follow-up labs to monitor progress

Every plan is individually designed based on your labs, symptoms, and overall health goals.

Symptoms of Thyroid Imbalance

Many people live with thyroid symptoms for years without a diagnosis. Common signs include:

Advanced Diagnostic Testing We Use

Standard TSH labs are often not enough. At Patients Medical, we go deeper:

Full thyroid panel: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3

Thyroid antibodies: TPO and TG for Hashimoto’s

Adrenal testing (cortisol levels, DHEA)

Gut microbiome and leaky gut testing

Heavy metals and environmental toxins

Nutrient deficiencies

Sex hormone panel (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)

Integrative Treatment Options

Personalized Nutrition

We design anti-inflammatory, thyroid-supportive meal plans tailored to your body’s needs. These may include:

  • Gluten- and dairy-free protocols
  • Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diets
  • Iodine and selenium balancing
  • Gut-healing protocols

 

Natural Thyroid Hormones

We prescribe bioidentical or natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) options like Armour® or WP Thyroid® when appropriate, rather than relying solely on synthetic T4 medications.

IV Therapy

IV drips with B12, selenium, magnesium, vitamin C, and glutathione to detox, energize, and reduce inflammation.

Herbal and Nutraceutical Support

Targeted supplements such as:

  • Ashwagandha (for adrenal-thyroid axis)
  • L-tyrosine (for hormone synthesis)
  • Selenium and zinc (for T4 to T3 conversion)
  • Myo-inositol (for Hashimoto’s support)

Gut & Autoimmune Healing

We repair the gut lining and rebalance microbiome health to lower antibody production and support immunity.

Hormone Balancing

Our team addresses related hormone issues, including estrogen dominance and adrenal fatigue, to bring the entire endocrine system into harmony.

Case Study: Rebecca’s Road to Recovery

Rebecca, age 43, had struggled with fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain for 5 years. Despite “normal” TSH labs, she felt exhausted and depressed. We discovered:

  • Low Free T3 and elevated Reverse T3
  • High thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto’s)
  • Gut inflammation and nutrient deficiencies

We implemented a 3-month protocol:

  • Natural desiccated thyroid
  • Gut-healing program
  • Autoimmune-friendly diet
  • IV nutrient therapy
  • Stress reduction with adaptogens

Three months later, her antibodies dropped by 60%, her energy returned, and she lost 15 pounds without calorie counting.

Frequently Asked Questions

 In many cases, yes—especially Hashimoto’s. With the right nutrition, gut healing, and hormone balance, symptoms can improve dramatically.

Yes. We use bioidentical and natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) when it fits the patient’s needs.

Yes. We evaluate and manage nodules with ultrasound, labs, and targeted natural support when appropriate.

Genetics, autoimmunity, stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, and hormonal imbalance may all contribute.

Traditional tests may miss imbalances like low T3, antibody activity, adrenal stress, or nutrient deficiencies.

Yes — we specialize in root-cause-based autoimmune thyroid care.

Full thyroid panel, antibodies, nutrients, adrenal function, gut health, and inflammation markers.

Absolutely — impaired thyroid function slows metabolism, energy production, and hormonal balance.

Yes, when needed. We use T4, T3, or combination therapy depending on your case.

We address root causes like autoimmunity, gut issues, inflammation, and nutrient deficits — not just hormone replacement.

Not necessarily. We may complement your current plan or transition gradually, under medical supervision.

We are an out-of-network provider. However, we provide superbills for potential reimbursement. Some labs may be insurance-covered.

Many patients feel better within 6–12 weeks depending on their condition and treatment plan.

Yes. Low or high thyroid hormones can affect energy, cognition, and emotional balance. Many patients feel clearer and more stable once hormone levels and root causes are addressed.

Absolutely. We assess inflammation, antibodies, gut health, nutrient levels, and triggers such as stress, infections, or toxins to create a comprehensive integrative plan.

Yes. Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism. When levels are disrupted, weight changes are common. We address hormonal balance, insulin resistance, stress, sleep, and nutrition for sustainable results.

We provide integrative options such as nutrition therapy, targeted supplements, adrenal support, and lifestyle optimization. If medication is needed, we blend both approaches safely.

Many patients notice improvements within 4–8 weeks, though timelines vary depending on hormone levels, inflammation, autoimmunity, and metabolic health.

Yes. Thyroid imbalance can contribute to menstrual issues, infertility, digestive symptoms, cardiovascular concerns, and chronic fatigue. We evaluate all interconnected systems to support whole-body healing.

Yes. Chronic stress can disrupt cortisol levels, which directly affects thyroid hormone conversion and energy regulation. We evaluate adrenal function and support both systems for better long-term balance.
