Your thyroid is a small gland with a big impact. Located at the base of your neck, it regulates metabolism, energy, mood, weight, and even brain function. When the thyroid isn’t working properly, it can cause a cascade of symptoms that leave you feeling unlike yourself. Fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, brain fog, and mood swings are just a few signs that something is off.
At Genesis Integrative Medicine in Manitowoc, WI, Terra Hartman, FNP, APNP, RN, FAAMM, and her team take a comprehensive approach to thyroid management. Instead of only looking at basic lab numbers, we dig deeper to uncover the root causes of thyroid dysfunction and create a personalized integrative wellness plan to help you feel your best again.
Understanding Thyroid Imbalances
Thyroid issues are common but often overlooked or underdiagnosed. The most frequent conditions include:
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): Causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and depression.
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): Is associated with anxiety, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and sleep problems.
- Hashimoto’s disease: An autoimmune condition leading to low thyroid function.
- Graves’ disease: An autoimmune disorder causing an overactive thyroid.
Standard bloodwork often misses important details, which is why many patients are told their thyroid is “normal” even when symptoms persist.
Our Functional Approach to Thyroid Management
At Genesis, we know thyroid health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our integrative approach includes advanced testing, personalized therapies, and lifestyle support to restore balance. Your plan may include:
- Comprehensive lab testing beyond standard TSH to evaluate T3, T4, reverse T3, antibodies, and adrenal health
- Nutritional support for iodine, selenium, zinc, and other thyroid-essential nutrients
- IV therapy to replenish vitamins and minerals that improve energy and hormone balance
- Peptide therapy to support immune regulation and tissue repair
- Ozone therapy to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in autoimmune thyroid conditions
- Lifestyle coaching for stress, sleep, and diet to support thyroid function long-term
This whole-body approach allows us to treat the thyroid in the context of your overall health.
