Fatigue, hair thinning, cold intolerance, and lab results that stay within range despite ongoing symptoms, we’re ready to find the root cause with you, and heal the whole of you. Let’s begin.
Thyroid dysfunction, primarily hypothyroidism, affects an estimated 5 percent of the general population and up to 1 in 8 women over their lifetime, with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis representing the most common underlying cause in iodine-sufficient regions. Clinical presentation includes fatigue, unexplained weight change, cold intolerance, hair thinning, and cognitive symptoms.
A clinically significant subset of patients report persistent symptoms despite thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) values within standard reference ranges, an area of active clinical discussion regarding optimal reference ranges and the value of assessing free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies alongside TSH.
| Clinical Presentation | Underlying Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain | Reduced circulating thyroid hormone, lowering resting metabolic rate |
| Hair thinning, dry skin | Thyroid hormone’s role in regulating hair follicle and epidermal cell turnover |
| Cognitive symptoms, low mood | Thyroid hormone’s direct effect on central nervous system neurotransmitter activity |
| Symptoms despite in-range TSH | Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, detectable via thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody testing |
Thyroid function also interacts with gut health and micronutrient status, particularly iodine, selenium, and iron.
This checklist supports self assessment and does not constitute diagnosis.
Assessment includes existing thyroid panel review (TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies where available), micronutrient status, and gut health, prior to any dietary recommendation.
Built from existing thyroid panel results and symptom history.
Adds microbiome testing, given documented gut-thyroid axis interactions, particularly relevant where Hashimoto’s is suspected or confirmed.
Adds genetic testing related to nutrient metabolism relevant to thyroid function. Treated as one input, not a standalone predictor.
Full review of thyroid panel results and symptom history in the first consultation.
A protocol addressing nutrient status and gut health relevant to thyroid function, with clinical reasoning made explicit.
Scheduled follow-up to track symptoms and, where relevant, repeat lab values.
Continued support until symptoms and lab values stabilize.
Connect via secure 1-on-1 video call from anywhere in the world. Ideal for clients requiring flexible scheduling or residing outside Kerala.
Available in Trivandrum, including in-person body composition analysis.
Existing thyroid panels are used where available.
