Thyroid Patterns

Whole-person evaluation for fatigue, weight shifts, temperature sensitivity, and “not feeling like yourself.”

Thyroid hormones influence metabolism, energy, mood, digestion, temperature regulation, cardiovascular function, menstrual cycles, and nervous system stability. We help you organize symptoms, review patterns over time, and build a plan that’s practical and individualized.

Care is local and relationship-based. Evaluation and clinical oversight are provided within our complex-illness framework with Dr. Penni, APRN .

Support layers we may explore

Thyroid patterns often overlap with other influences. We look at the full context to prioritize what matters most for you.

Stress physiology

Cortisol rhythm, nervous system load, sleep disruption, and the downstream effects on thyroid signaling.

Nutrient status & absorption

Iron/ferritin, B12, vitamin D, selenium, zinc, iodine — plus digestive factors that affect absorption.

Immune & inflammation patterns

Autoimmune context and inflammatory load that can influence thyroid stability and symptoms.

Gut & microbiome

Digestive function, microbiome balance, and how the gut affects inflammation and nutrient availability.

Liver function & clearance

The liver supports hormone conversion and clearance pathways that can influence symptom patterns.

Environmental exposures

Endocrine disruptors and other exposures that may affect hormone communication and resilience.
