Understanding Thyroid Health
Your thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ at the base of your neck that produces hormones controlling your metabolism. These hormones affect virtually every cell in your body, influencing energy levels, weight, temperature, mood, and more.
Thyroid dysfunction is common, especially in women, and often goes undiagnosed or undertreated. Many patients are told their thyroid is "normal" based on TSH alone, while they continue to experience symptoms.
Our approach involves comprehensive testing to understand your complete thyroid picture, not just TSH. We look at free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to identify issues that basic testing misses.
Signs of Thyroid Imbalance

Treatment Options
Treatment depends on your specific thyroid condition and test results. For hypothyroidism, we may prescribe thyroid hormone replacement using T4 (levothyroxine), T3, or a combination based on your needs.
We also address underlying factors that can affect thyroid function, including nutrient deficiencies (iodine, selenium, iron), gut health, and autoimmune triggers. This comprehensive approach helps optimise not just your thyroid numbers, but how you actually feel.
Regular monitoring ensures your treatment remains effective and allows us to make adjustments as needed.
