Thyroid Imbalance
Often, patients come to our clinic with a thyroid problem that has gone undiagnosed, despite the patient reporting fatigue, weight gain, depression, high cholesterol and other symptoms to their healthcare provider.
Why does this happen so frequently? Some reasons include not listening to the patient, relying only on the results of the lab test, or on the result of the wrong lab tests, prescribing T4 only medications, and misdiagnosis – for example, prescribing anti-depressants for depression or iron tablets for fatigue.
What to Expect:
At Integrative Healthcare, Nurse Practitioner Tracey Glenn takes a holistic approach to search for the underlying cause of symptoms. She then creates a safe and effective treatment plan to help the body overcome or prevent illness. Relying only on blood tests ignores the basic tenet of medicine – treating the patient as an entire being.We will NOT:
- Prescribe Levothyroxine
- Use the TSH as the only lab test for thyroid function
We Will:
- Prescribe a non-synthetic, compounded - natural thyroid hormone.
- Focus on you and not a computer screen.
- Listen to you!
