My passion is to find the root cause of your health issues. From there, I work with you on your healing path so that you can regain your health again. My first route of treatment is God's natural pharmacy of food and healing supplements. Pharmaceuticals are not ruled out; however, the goal is to get each person less dependent on them as their body heals and health is regained. Functional Medicine's goal is to heal the root cause.

Your thyroid makes T4 — but T4 is almost entirely inactive. Your body has to convert it to T3 before it can actually do anything.
That conversion depends on more than just your thyroid:
👉🏻 Iodine + tyrosine build the hormone
👉🏻 Selenium activates the enzymes that convert it

✅ Liver handles ~60% of T4→T3 conversion
✅ Kidneys & gut contribute the rest
But even with the right nutrients, conversion can stall.

Chronic stress raises cortisol → suppresses conversion enzymes → pushes T4 toward reverse T3 (inactive) instead of active T3. The result? Classic hypothyroid symptoms with “normal” labs.
Gut inflammation, a sluggish liver, and poor kidney function quietly do the same.

Thyroid health isn’t just about your thyroid. It’s about the whole system supporting it — liver, kidneys, gut, stress levels, and nutrient status all matter.

Headline: Women who start hormone therapy within 5 years of menopause have significantly better outcomes.
❤️28% lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events
❤️𝟑𝟖% 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 (that’s a hazard ratio of 0.72 for heart events and 0.62 for death.)

That’s not neutral.

Taking things from “attack” perspective and taking it personal only activates your own nervous system, which downstream affects your gut absorption leading to malabsorption, leading to low functioning thyroid & hormonal dysregulation.
If we look at the hurtful words of others from an aerial view, we begin to see things from a different perspective.
It’s not your problem their pain & wounds speak louder than your words.

Nutrition is the foundation of all medicine. So this move is decades behind.
