Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US — and dramatically underdiagnosed. These are the symptoms our patients describe when they first come to us.

Chronic fatigue & low energy
Brain fog & poor memory
Unexplained weight gain
Hair thinning or loss
Cold hands and feet
Depression or anxiety
Constipation & bloating
Dry skin & brittle nails
Joint and muscle pain
Irregular periods
Heart palpitations
"Normal" labs — still feel awful

Why Conventional Testing Misses Hashimoto's

Most primary care physicians only order a TSH test — a single marker that tells an incomplete story. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition, meaning the immune system is attacking the thyroid. TSH alone cannot detect this.

A comprehensive functional thyroid panel includes Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, and Thyroglobulin antibodies — revealing dysfunction even when TSH appears "normal."

An important distinction: Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease first, and a thyroid problem second. Treating only the thyroid without addressing the immune system is why so many patients remain symptomatic on medication alone.

“
I was experiencing brain fog, weight gain, fatigue and pain. I received treatments from Dr. Lane this past year that have left me feeling the best I have ever felt! My brain fog is gone. I have tons of energy and I am at my lowest weight in 30 years. I also have a lot less pain in my knees.
