The Value of Holistic Care
Most medical professionals only look at TSH levels to diagnose and care for low thyroid. This ignores the fact that there are six patterns of hypothyroidism, which may cause problems and not affect your TSH levels. Only using TSH for diagnosis risks missing something vital.
Also, the Endocrine Society changed the TSH normal lab levels to 1.8 to 3.0, and most labs have yet to catch up. That’s why your lab work may come back as normal, although you’re still experiencing symptoms. Our providers take a unique approach to care, using neurological and functional medicine to get to the root cause of the issue.
