Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Autoimmune Case Study:
Are you curious to see what this process really looks like? Read a full case study showing how one client transformed her health in just a few months. We dive deep into Joanne’s story, a Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis client, providing a real-world example of how our services help clients reduce their symptoms, feel better, and reclaim their vitality and lives.
✨Joanne’s Hashimoto’s Diagnosis and Recovery Path.
Joanne, a 44-year-old working mom with two pre-teen kids, came to me exhausted — mentally, emotionally, and physically. She was dealing with daily fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, bloating, constipation, weight gain, and hair loss. Despite her best efforts to stay healthy, her symptoms were taking a serious toll on her quality of life.
Joanne ate a mostly whole-food diet, but like many busy women, she relied on some processed foods and indulged in sugar and alcohol daily. She exercised intensely — HIIT, cardio, and weight training — waking up early to fit it in before work. She averaged 6–7 hours of sleep per night and had been doing intermittent fasting for over two years, usually skipping breakfast and eating within a 6-hour window. She felt like she was doing everything right, but she was burnt out, discouraged, and stuck — especially with the 20 pounds she’d gained over the past few years. Her doctor told her that her labs were normal and chalked up her symptoms to aging or perimenopause. But Joanne knew something was off. She just didn’t feel like herself anymore.
While some of her symptoms could be attributed to hormonal shifts, I suspected there was more going on — possibly Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, a common autoimmune condition that attacks the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones play a critical role in metabolism, mood, digestion, energy, heart rate, body temperature, and even hair growth. When the immune system disrupts that function, the impact is far-reaching, and unfortunately, Hashimoto’s often goes undiagnosed for years, leaving women like Joanne struggling without answers.
🔍 Digging Deeper: Looking Beyond "Normal"
During our intake, I noticed something that stood out — a previously elevated ANA biomarker, a non-specific autoimmunity marker, which often points to immune system dysfunction. That was enough to justify a deeper look. Since Joanne was due for her annual physical, I suggested she ask her physician for a more complete lab workup. Her doctor planned to run the standard panels (CBC, CMP, lipids, and TSH), but I encouraged her to also request: Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, TGAb), ferritin, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. These markers help create a much more complete picture of thyroid and immune health — especially for someone with Joanne’s symptoms. She advocated for herself, and her doctor agreed to run the full panel and additional labs. A week later, the results confirmed our suspicions.
🧪 What We Found
Joanne’s TSH and Free T4 were technically within range -which is why her thyroid had been labeled normal in years past. But her Free T3 -the active hormone responsible for energy and metabolism -was well below range, validating her symptoms. Also, her TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies were elevated, confirming an autoimmune response against her thyroid. In addition, her routine labs revealed low ferritin, low vitamin B12, low vitamin D, and rising glucose, insulin, A1C, and cholesterol compared to her previous results. Joanne was officially diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and subclinical hypothyroidism, and her doctor referred her to an endocrinologist who gave her a prescription for Levothyroxine. Joanne’s case is incredibly common -women doing everything they can to stay healthy, only to be told everything looks “normal.” By digging deeper and taking a functional, whole-person approach, we were able to uncover what was actually driving her symptoms- and finally give her the clarity and relief she’d been searching for.
🔬 Conventional Labs are Valuable
Joanne’s annual labs — like the Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) — are valuable, and we always recommend that our clients work with their physician to get these done regularly. These tests provide insight into things like immune function, blood health, electrolyte balance, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder function. Even though these markers often look “normal” in people with Hashimoto’s, they help rule out anything serious that may need urgent medical attention. It’s also an opportunity to add a few markers that are valuable in autoimmune and Hashimoto’s health, like vitamin D, B12, and sugar markers like glucose and insulin. And the bonus? These foundational labs are usually covered by insurance.
🌿 Getting to the Root: Why Functional Labs Matter
Along with a thorough health history, symptom review, and nutrition assessment, we often use functional lab testing to help identify the underlying triggers behind our clients’ symptoms. These labs don’t just give us additional detailed data -they help clients like Joanne connect the dots between what they’re feeling and what’s happening in their body. That clarity is empowering and helps people stay committed to the process because they finally feel seen. Joanne was ready to dive deeper. Since she enrolled in our Functional Thyroid Fix, we used three key functional tests:
GI-MAP (Gut Microbial Assay Plus): A comprehensive stool test that assesses the balance of gut bacteria, pathogens, parasites, and markers of gut inflammation—helping to identify hidden infections or imbalances that may be driving immune dysfunction and thyroid issues.
Mosaic/Alletess Food Sensitivity Test: A blood spot test that measures delayed immune responses to foods, helping to uncover hidden food sensitivities that may be contributing to chronic inflammation, leaky gut, and autoimmune flare-ups.
DUTCH Complete (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones): A detailed hormone panel that evaluates sex hormones, adrenal function, cortisol patterns, and hormone metabolites—providing insight into stress, sleep, mood, and the hormonal imbalances that often accompany thyroid dysfunction.
All three of these lab kits are sent directly to our clients’ homes, no need to travel to the lab, or for a doctor’s note. It can take up to 4 weeks to receive the results, but we never wait to get started with our clients. Here’s what we implemented with Joanne right away while waiting for results:
✅ Phase One: Foundational Support
Nutrition: I recommended that Joanne pause the intermittent fasting and eat three balanced meals per day, and focus on whole, unprocessed organic foods, eliminate gluten and alcohol, and reduce added sugar.
Supplement Support: We started with a few core supplements to support energy, absorption, and immune function such as high-quality multivitamin/mineral, vitamin D (with follow-up testing in 3 months), sublingual B12 for energy and neurological support, digestive enzymes to enhance nutrient absorption, and magnesium glycinate for stress, sleep, and relaxation.
Lifestyle + Rest: I asked her to prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night, and add rest breaks or downtime during the day. Chronic stress, overexercising, and poor sleep all suppress thyroid function and immune regulation, so rest becomes non-negotiable for healing.
Liver Support & Hormone Conversion: Because Joanne consumed sugar and alcohol daily and had potential signs of sluggish detox function, we added targeted liver support. This helps to prepare the body for the protocols, and improve T4 to T3 conversion. Even though Joanne’s T4 levels were normal, her T3 -the active thyroid hormone -was low, indicating that her body wasn’t converting efficiently. Poor T4 to T3 conversion can be driven by:
Nutrient deficiencies
Inflammation
Stress/cortisol imbalance
Low ferritin
Insulin resistance
Liver congestion
Environmental toxins
These are all areas we planned to explore and support in her customized protocols, and during our work together.
📉 The Problem with only running TSH for Thyroid Health
Joanne’s story is a perfect example of why the standard TSH test alone often misses the bigger picture. Most doctors only run TSH, and when it falls within range, symptoms are often dismissed -even when there are clear hypothyroid symptoms and an active autoimmune process underway. And here’s what many don’t realize: Autoimmune thyroid disease can start up to 10-15 years before TSH is affected, and during that time, thyroid antibodies (TPO and TGAb) are silently damaging the gland, reducing its ability to create hormone.
🌟 Functional Support at Every Stage
In Joanne’s case, we caught her Hashimoto’s at an early stage, before her TSH had increased. This gave us an opportunity to reduce her antibody levels and prevent further damage to her thyroid, improve her T4 to T3 conversion, and potentially avoid long-term dependence on medication (or increase in medication). This functional approach is also effective when someone is further along in their diagnosis, and will dramatically improve how they feel because we focus on the whole system, not just the thyroid. So whether Hashimoto’s is newly identified or has been present for years, addressing the foundational pillars of health -gut, hormones, immune balance, nutrient status, stress and more -can make a profound difference. Also, tracking antibody levels over time gives us a powerful tool to see what’s working to reduce the autoimmune attack.
Joanne’s journey reminds us that:
You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.
You don’t have to accept “normal” as the final answer.
There’s a better path -one that starts with the right questions.
In addition to a thorough health history, symptom review, nutrition assessment, routine bloodwork and functional testing, we implemented Britesquare’s signature four-part framework to ensure a thorough investigation into all the potential factors that shaped her health. Our four-part framework consists of Diet & Nutrients, Gut Microbiome & Leaky Gut, Environmental & Dietary Toxins and Mindset & Lifestyle.
🥦 Diet & Nutrients
Nutrients are the building blocks of thyroid health. For people with Hashimoto’s, focusing on a nutrient-dense diet and improving nutrient absorption is essential. Joanne was low in B12, vitamin D, and ferritin—deficiencies common in many thyroid patients. These nutrient gaps can stem from factors like modern farming practices and lower food quality, the Standard American Diet (SAD), medications, calorie restriction or intermittent fasting and poor gut health. Plus, thyroid hormones regulate metabolism—including how well your digestive tract extracts nutrients. So, low thyroid function often means less efficient nutrient absorption, creating a cycle of deficiency.
💡 How Joanne’s Deficiencies Impacted Her Symptoms
Vitamin B12: Key for energy production, mood, and brain function. Deficiency can cause fatigue, depression, brain fog, poor digestion, and even hair loss.
Vitamin D: Critical for balancing the immune system. Low vitamin D is linked to worse autoimmunity, higher thyroid antibodies, and disease progression. For Joanne, optimizing vitamin D also meant easing her anxiety.
Ferritin (Iron Storage Protein): Low ferritin can lead to hair loss, fatigue, and impaired thyroid function. Gut issues like H. pylori, SIBO, and low stomach acid can worsen this deficiency.
🥗 Blood Sugar & Thyroid Health: The Vital Connection
Many people with hypothyroidism also struggle with blood sugar imbalances. Healthy thyroid function relies on balanced blood sugar. When blood sugar swings too high or low, it can weaken and inflame the gut, disrupt hormone balance, exhaust adrenal glands, interfere with detox pathways and impair metabolism. This creates a perfect storm that drags down thyroid function. Joanne was about 20 pounds overweight, and her labs showed rising glucose, insulin and cholesterol markers -so limiting sugar, wine and processed foods, and regulating blood sugar, was a key part of her plan.
🌿 Finding Triggers with Food Sensitivity Testing
Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s often involve widespread inflammation, and the gut plays a huge role. Reactive foods can trigger inflammatory responses that worsen symptoms throughout the body. Joanne’s food sensitivity test revealed several reactive foods -including healthy ones like mushrooms, bell peppers, and avocado. Removing these foods temporarily helps to calm inflammation and heal the gut lining so we can retrain the immune system to tolerate these foods again. And when we do reintroduce the foods, we do so strategically to make sure the body has a good response. Our aim is to broaden the diet again over time, support nutrient variety and increase microbiome diversity. The goal is never to restrict the diet unnecessarily, but to enjoy a sustainable, anti-inflammatory diet that feels good and supports long-term health.
🌱 Gut Microbiome & Leaky Gut
Gut health sits at the heart of overall wellness — especially for those with Hashimoto’s. Poor gut health can suppress thyroid function and even trigger autoimmunity, while low thyroid function can worsen gut inflammation and cause leaky gut (intestinal permeability). Our gut microbes have evolved alongside us and influence nearly every aspect of health: digestion, nutrient absorption, detoxification, mood, and immune defense. A balanced gut microbiome has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidanteffects, while an imbalanced one is linked to autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel issues, obesity, neurological disorders, and even cancer.
🔍 Why Gut Health Matters in Autoimmunity
Experts agree that autoimmunity requires three key factors: a genetic predisposition, one or more triggers (like stress or infections) and intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Since about 70% of the immune system lives in the gut, I always start here. My favorite test is the GI-MAP stool test, which detects opportunistic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, overgrowth of normal flora, and markers of inflammation, immunity, and digestion. Most clients with Hashimoto’s have gut infections, and addressing these often leads to significant symptom improvement.
🦠 Joanne’s Gut Health Findings
Joanne’s GI-MAP revealed:
H. pylori bacteria and the parasite Blastocystis hominis (Blasto)
Dysbiosis and overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria
Below detectable limit of important bacteria like Akkermansia
Low elastase and secretory IgA (SigA), markers of digestive enzyme function and gut immunity
The GI-MAP rarely comes back clean for any of our clients, but these results are actually encouraging because they point to clear targets for improvement that can often have dramatic impact on autoimmune conditions and Hashimoto’s.
🛡️ Why Addressing Gut Health is Crucial
Chronic infections and dysbiosis are common triggers of Hashimoto’s. Treating Joanne’s H. pylori and Blasto was a major opportunity. H. pylori is known to trigger Hashimoto’s and cause symptoms like bloating, hair loss, and anxiety. It also increases food sensitivities and thyroid antibodies. Plus, H. pylori lowers stomach acid, which likely contributed to Joanne’s B12 and ferritin deficiencies despite her animal-based diet. Addressing Blastocystis hominis has been linked to reductions in thyroid antibodies and TSH, showing potential for improving or even putting Hashimoto’s into remission. Joanne’s symptoms like bloating and fatigue matched this diagnosis.
Gut health affects nutrient absorption: The gut lining has tiny projections called villi that absorb nutrients. Inflammation and dysbiosis can shorten villi, reducing absorption of key nutrients like iodine and selenium—both vital for thyroid function.
Gut bacteria help convert thyroid hormones: About 20% of the conversion of inactive T4 to active T3 occurs in the gut. Inflammation raises cortisol, which lowers active T3. Animal studies even show that germ-free rats (with no gut bacteria) have smaller thyroid glands, highlighting the gut’s critical role.
Constipation and hormone imbalance: Joanne’s constipation—a common Hashimoto’s symptom due to slowed gut transit—increased inflammation and malabsorption. Constipation can also raise estrogen, which increases thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) and lowers free thyroid hormones available to the body.
Beneficial bacteria and metabolism: Joanne’s low levels of Akkermansia -a helpful bacteria- are linked to metabolic problems like insulin resistance, inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Akkermansia supports gut lining health and promotes production of short-chain fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and improve gut barrier function. Supporting its growth can aid weight management and reduce leaky gut.
The Gut-Liver-Detox Connection: A healthy, diverse gut microbiome helps eliminate toxins. Since toxins can trigger or worsen autoimmunity, this is crucial. The gut filters harmful substances and supports liver detox pathways. It also ensures regular bowel movements, preventing toxin buildup. Without proper gut function, detoxification falters -making it harder to restore thyroid and immune health.
⚠️ Environmental & Dietary Toxicities
Toxins are an often overlooked but powerful trigger for autoimmune disease. Environmental toxins impair the immune system, disrupt detox pathways, promote inflammation, and damage gut bacteria. Even tiny amounts can harm our health. We’re exposed daily to thousands of chemicals—over 83,000 in the U.S. alone, with more than 74 billion pounds produced or imported every day. Common offenders include mercury (which alters immune system gene expression), lead and arsenic (which create oxidative stress), cadmium (linked to autoimmune antibody production).
Detoxification: During our Functional Thyroid Fix, we focused on reducing toxic load by maximizing toxin elimination and minimizing toxin exposure. We supported liver function and regular bowel movements, and detoxified the diet, skin care products, and home environment.
Diet: We started by cleaning up Joanne’s diet. Choosing organic, locally grown produce, organic/grass-fed meats and other high quality proteins, and plenty of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, helps support liver detoxification, provide essential micronutrients like B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, choline, glycine, and polyphenols that assist detox processes and reduce inflammation. Additionally, obesogens -chemicals that disrupt fat metabolism and insulin- can contribute to weight gain. Since Joanne struggled to lose weight, optimizing liver function to help eliminate these toxins was key. Weight loss involves much more than calories; it’s influenced by liver health, hormones, gut bacteria, and more.
Supporting the Liver: Joanne’s low T3 despite normal T4 suggested that suboptimal liver function might be a factor -since the liver converts T4 into the active T3 hormone. Knowing she drank alcohol daily, ate sugar and some processed foods, we started her on a liver-support supplement and increased liver-friendly foods in her diet. Supporting the liver early prepares the body for the gut health protocol, when we detoxify pathogens and bacterial overgrowth.
Bowel Movements: Many toxins leave the body through stool. Joanne wasn’t yet having daily bowel movements, so we focused on improving this before starting her GI-MAP gut protocol. Without regular elimination, released toxins can be reabsorbed, undermining detox efforts.
Hydration: Staying well hydrated is critical. The liver processes many water-soluble toxins, which the kidneys then excrete via urine. Joanne increased her water intake to support these vital detox pathways.
Sauna & Sweating: Detoxing through the skin. I recommended sauna sessions a few times a week. Research shows sweating helps eliminate heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium -all linked to autoimmune risk. Since Joanne couldn’t visit a sauna regularly, she used a sauna blanket for 20 minutes, three times a week. Joanne’s daily workouts helped her body detox by keeping her blood and lymph moving, but as discussed, many toxins hide out in fat tissue. Since they don’t come out easily with exercise alone, extra heat and deep sweating from the sauna gave her body another way to excrete them.
Detoxing the Environment: Overhauling toxin exposure all at once can feel overwhelming -especially while juggling a new diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes. So we took a gradual approach. First we purified her drinking water. Water supplies often contain over 315 pollutants including volatile organic compounds, endocrine disruptors, fluoride, heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria, and pharmaceutical residues like antibiotics and hormones. After that we tackled air quality, skin care products, cleaning supplies, cookware, and more. We took it one step at a time to reduce Joanne’s overall toxic load, and the overwhelm.
✨ Mindset & Lifestyle
Britesquare considers the mental and emotional elements of the individual as integral to immune health. The connection between stress and immune function has been documented for over a century and is an established risk factor for autoimmune disease. It can be a significant issue for women with Hashimoto’s since the thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive hormones are intimately connected and influence each other to maintain balance. This is why I recommend the DUTCH Complete -a comprehensive hormone panel- to my clients. The DUTCH gives incredibly detailed information on stress hormones like cortisol and reproductive hormones like progesterone and estrogen, which can impact mood, energy, sleep and more. As suspected, Joanne’s DUTCH results returned with elevated cortisol, a disrupted circadian curve, and declining reproductive hormones. This made a lot of sense considering her symptoms, and this data helped us connect the dots between how she felt and what was happening in her body.
🔄 Hormonal Insights: What Joanne’s DUTCH Test Revealed
Like many of our clients, Joanne was stressed, and also perimenopausal. During this time, hormone levels shift dramatically, and for many women, it feels like being on a hormonal rollercoaster. In addition to her abnormal cortisol levels and cortisol curve, her DUTCH results showed:
High cortisol levels and an abnormal cortisol curve (elevated evening cortisol) indicate HPA axis dysregulation, likely driven by chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, or hormonal imbalance.
Low estrogen (estradiol): This can cause mood swings, hot flashes, poor sleep, and worsen thyroid symptoms.
Low progesterone: Progesterone has a calming effect on the brain and helps support restful sleep. When it drops, many women feel anxious, irritable, or struggle with insomnia — just like Joanne.
Lower end of normal DHEA for her age range -DHEA begins to decline as early as age 25 years.
Impaired methylation of phase 2 estrogen detox (may be due to low nutrient status such as magnesium, zinc and B vitamins, or genetic SNPs).
Elevated 8‑OHdG (oxidative DNA damage marker). This makes sense since autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s are often associated with increased oxidative stress and altered methylation and detoxification.
🌿 Why Stress Matters in Hashimoto’s
Chronic stress is a very common trigger for Hashimoto’s and is critical to address. Stress creates leaky gut, preventing healing even with perfect diet and supplements. Chronic stress also suppresses beneficial gut bacteria, allowing harmful bacteria to thrive. Addressing both bacterial overgrowth and chronic stress supports long-term gut health. In addition to psychological stress, other factors that stress the adrenals include blood sugar swings, gut dysfunction, food sensitivities (especially gluten), environmental toxins and chronic inflammation. All of these cause the adrenals to produce more stress hormones. This multi-factorial load is why our program lasts several months -healing requires a comprehensive approach.
Joanne was a busy, multitasking working mom — a go-getter who saw slowing down as a waste of time. Only once Joanne saw her DUTCH results revealing abnormal cortisol levels did she realize how much stress was physically impacting her body. I encouraged her to prioritize self-care. Since autoimmunity is essentially an “overactive” immune response, calming the immune system by sending the body a “safety signal” is essential. Meditation, in particular, has strong scientific backing for reducing stress and rewiring the brain to better handle challenges. Stress-reducing activities vary for everyone -the key is consistency. Quick stress relief tools that Joanne implemented included a few minutes of diaphragmatic breathing to shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest” mode, daily 5-min meditations, and using her sauna blanket time for mini guided visualizations. Joanne did not have time for involved meditation rituals, but she soon found that even a few minutes of mindfulness a day makes a difference.
💡 How Adrenal Stress Impacts Thyroid Health
Disrupts the HPA Axis. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis controls thyroid hormone production. Chronic adrenal stress weakens the hypothalamus and pituitary, which lowers thyroid function.
Reduces T4 to T3 Conversion. Stress interferes with converting inactive T4 into active T3 hormone. Joanne’s labs confirmed this conversion was impaired, making stress reduction crucial.
Promotes Autoimmunity. Adrenal stress weakens immune barriers (GI tract, lungs, blood-brain barrier), allowing proteins and antigens into the bloodstream and brain. This irritates the immune system, increasing autoimmune risk.
Causes Thyroid Hormone Resistance. Inflammation from stress suppresses thyroid receptor sensitivity. This is one explanation for why some patients still feel hypothyroid despite normal lab values and medication adjustments.
Causes Hormonal Imbalances. Prolonged cortisol elevation lowers the liver’s ability to clear excess estrogen. High estrogen increases thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), which binds thyroid hormones and makes them inactive. The result? Lower levels of free, active thyroid hormones despite “normal” total hormone levels.
🌙 What We Did With That Info
We chose to collect the DUTCH a couple of months into our work together, which meant that she’d addressed her gut infections, optimized her liver function, calmed her inflammation, and implemented a nutrient-dense diet with targeted supplementation. All of these factors already contributed significantly to healthy, happy hormone production. But now, armed with her DUTCH results, we were able to fine-tune our approach even further.
We doubled down on supporting her adrenals with additional emphasis on stress management techniques, supplements and adaptogenic herbs.
We optimized her circadian rhythm and sleep hygiene by maintaining a consistent sleep/wake schedule, sleeping in a completely dark room and avoiding blue light for at least an hour before bed to protect melatonin production.
We introduced targeted supplements and botanicals to improve estrogen and progesterone levels naturally, and to help her improve her estrogen detox and methylation.
🌟 Conclusion: Why a Functional Approach Matters
Within a few months, Joanne had reversed her symptoms and put her Hashimoto’s into remission -not by masking symptoms, but by addressing the root causes. This work goes beyond the thyroid, it builds a foundation for long-term health. Joanne’s story is a powerful example of what’s possible when we look beyond standard labs and take a root-cause, whole-body approach. She came to me exhausted -suffering from fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, bloating, constipation, and weight gain -but over the course of our work together, we systematically addressed each of these symptoms by uncovering the root causes, supporting her body with targeted nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and personalized protocols. What felt overwhelming at first became manageable -and ultimately transformative -as her energy returned, her mind cleared, and she began sleeping through the night again. She also lost 15 pounds, and was having daily bowel movements. She felt calm, relaxed and hopeful, and began to feel at home in her body again.
Because we caught her Hashimoto’s early, we were able to calm her inflammation and overactive immune response, and halt the autoimmune attack. She had her thyroid panel retested upon completion of our program and her body was no longer making any antibodies to her thyroid! Her T3 was back in range -Joanne felt great and no longer needed her medication. But avoiding medication was never the point: thyroid hormones can be very beneficial and can restore energy and mood, making it easier to implement lifestyle and dietary changes. They also prevent further thyroid damage by lowering TSH, which can reduce the autoimmune attack. Importantly, medication and natural healing aren’t mutually exclusive; thyroid meds serve as a supportive tool while deeper imbalances like gut issues, infections, or nutrient deficiencies are being addressed. The goal is to support the body so that, whether you're on meds or not, you improve hormone conversion, reduce inflammation, eliminate symptoms, and address the autoimmune progression.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, already on thyroid medication, or just suspect something's off, the Functional Thyroid Fix is designed to:
Decode your lab results beyond just TSH, and improve T4 to T3 conversion so your body can actually use the hormones you make or take
Lower thyroid antibodies to calm the autoimmune attack
Address hidden triggers like gut infections, stress, toxins, and nutrient deficiencies
Reduce your risk of developing additional autoimmune diseases — something 1 in 4 women with Hashimoto’s will face
