The Functional Medicine Approach to Thyroid Health in Glenview That’s Helping Patients Finally Feel Better

If you’ve been told your thyroid is “normal” but you still can’t lose weight, shake the brain fog, or get your energy back you’re not imagining things.

At Heal n Cure Medical Wellness Center in Glenview, we use a Functional Medicine approach to identify the real root cause of thyroid dysfunction because sometimes, it’s more than just numbers on a lab report.

Key Takeaways

• • Your thyroid controls metabolism, energy, and mental clarity; when it’s off, everything feels off
    
  • Conventional tests often miss early thyroid dysfunction or Hashimoto’s
    
  • Functional medicine digs deeper: hormone conversion, inflammation, gut health, stress, and more
    
  • At Heal n Cure, we create personalized care plans using advanced labs, BHRT, and lifestyle strategies
    

Could You Have a Hidden Thyroid Imbalance?

Here are signs we often see in patients with thyroid dysfunction—even when their labs look “normal” elsewhere:

• Constant fatigue
  
• Trouble losing weight
  
• Brain fog or forgetfulness
  
• Hair thinning
  
• Cold hands and feet
  
• Constipation or digestive issues
  
• Mood swings or anxiety
  

If this sounds familiar, you may have a thyroid imbalance that standard testing has missed.

Why Do So Many Women with Thyroid Symptoms Go Undiagnosed?

Hormone shifts in perimenopause, menopause, and even postpartum can mask or worsen thyroid symptoms. Unfortunately, many women are told their concerns are “just stress” or part of getting older.

At Heal n Cure, we don’t dismiss your symptoms, we investigate them. We understand how interconnected your hormones are and how thyroid health depends on the full hormonal picture.

How Traditional Thyroid Testing Falls Short

Most conventional providers only check TSH, and sometimes Free T4. But this doesn’t tell the full story.

At Heal n Cure, we use a comprehensive thyroid panel, including:

• Free T3
  
• Reverse T3
  
• TPO and Tg antibodies (to check for Hashimoto’s)
  
• Nutrient markers: selenium, zinc, iodine, and iron
  
• Cortisol and sex hormones (which can impact thyroid function)
