  • The Difference Between Hypothyroid and Hashimotos
    2024/08/07
    Explore the distinction between traditional low thyroid or Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease. Gain insight on how traditional hypothyroidism does not typically involve antibody production, while Hashimoto's thyroid disease is characterized by the presence of antibodies. Discover the complexities of Hashimoto's thyroid disease, which can result from both under-active and sometimes overactive thyroid function. Understand that insufficient hormone production can be attributed to a variety of factors such as Hashimoto's, medication-induced low thyroid, radiation therapy, iodine deficiency, and even surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Note that Hashimoto's disease can only be definitively diagnosed through bloodwork that includes antibody level testing. Without detecting the specific antibodies associated with Hashimoto's, it cannot be confirmed as the cause of thyroid dysfunction. Learn how our comprehensive "bug workup" enables us to identify Hashimoto's and develop an appropriate treatment plan. By addressing the underlying autoimmune response, we aim to normalize antibody levels, reduce overproduction, and enhance the efficiency of the immune system.

  • The Thyroid Cortisol Connection
    2024/03/08
    In this insightful three-part series, we delve into the intricate relationship between the thyroid and cortisol. The first part sheds light on the vital role of the thyroid in our overall well-being, acting as our body's "gas pedal" that drives energy, metabolism, weight management, and more. While conventional thyroid tests typically focus on TSH levels, there is a crucial need to also assess T3 and T4 hormones to truly understand thyroid health. The second part of this series delves into cortisol regulation, adrenal fatigue, and their connection to autoimmune thyroid disease. Dr. Lori shares a personal journey of developing autoimmune thyroid disease unexpectedly during residency, experiencing various symptoms like thin skin and fruit allergies post-pregnancy, and the subsequent challenges faced. Exploring the complexities of hormone production and conversion processes within the body, attention is drawn to the significance of factors like iodine and cofactors in the creation of active thyroid hormone T3. Moreover, the discussion highlights common thyroid medications such as levothyroxine (t4) and the limitations posed by poor absorption and the body's capacity to convert T4 to T3. Through this series, valuable insights are shared about the interplay between thyroid function, cortisol levels, and overall health, offering clarity on optimizing thyroid health and understanding the intricate mechanisms governing our body's energy and vitality.

  • Gut-Immune-Bug Case R3AL³ Method
    2023/09/11

    Learn the about my R3AL³ Method through a brief introduction of my cases and a case I had in particular. My patient was feeling unwell for quite some time and wanted to just feel normal again. Initially she came in for hormones. Yet, throughout our discussion I discovered there was a different picture painted. My method focuses on putting the links back together in integrative health and connecting the dots through the interconnectivity within our bodies. Essentially, we’re reviewing all your information through your story/timeline and handling it accordingly that differs from how your primary care doctor may handle it. Our approach goes beyond being a "band-aid" solution by considering the interconnectedness of various factors affecting your mental and physical health. We are not just a band aid, we are a solution.

    If you are a provider listening to this, we have a new teaching on my R3AL³ Method. We would love to get you started. Click on the link below
