Most clinicians order TSH and stop. But TSH is a pituitary signal — not a measure of how your tissues are actually using thyroid hormone. Plenty of women have a 'normal' TSH and a quietly under-converting thyroid that is making them miserable.
TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO and TGB antibodies, plus the cofactors (iron/ferritin, selenium, zinc, vitamin D, B12) your thyroid needs to function. We also screen for Hashimoto's, the most common autoimmune cause of hypothyroidism — often missed for years.
Based on your full picture, treatment may include levothyroxine, T3, NDT (natural desiccated thyroid), or compounded combinations — paired with the nutrient and lifestyle support your thyroid needs to actually convert and use that hormone. We re-test and fine-tune until you feel like yourself.

No. We use the right tool for you — including T3-containing options like NDT or compounded combinations — based on labs and symptoms.
Absolutely. Suboptimal thyroid is one of the most common drivers of stubborn weight, fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, and feeling cold all the time.
