Thyroid disease is an epidemic right now in the U.S. (see my blog article on the subject.), and 90% of the time is a form of an autoimmune condition such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I have seen amazing results with many of my thyroid clients, but as with any condition, results are variable by the individual and aren’t guaranteed. The causes are numerous, but there are interventions I recommend that are targeted to each cause. Certain chemicals called endocrine disruptors, found in plastics, fragrances, and pesticides, have been shown to dysregulate thyroid function. Inflammation in the body leading to oxidative stress can also cause the body to attack the thyroid gland. The thyroid can even uptake fluoride instead of iodide, and this displacement of iodine causes less thyroid hormone production.

At our initial thyroid consult, I will educate you on how to practically avoid phthalates, reduce your pesticide exposure, and reduce fluoride exposure. I will also work to design a food plan and supplements to reduce inflammation, the driver of thyroid disease. Lastly, we will work on improving your gut health, as all autoimmune disease, including thyroid disease, is linked to a leaky gut lining.

I utilize a "high value" type of model, where a lot of education and recommendations are provided at each session, with fewer total visits than most providers. On average thyroid cases require two sessions: an initial, as well as one thyroid/hormone balance follow up. For weight management in conjunction with thyroid issues, I can provide up to two follow ups myself, with associates completing all other follow ups once your condition is stable to allow for room for other new clients in my practice.

I strive to price my services fairly — making them accessible to most individuals while allowing me the time needed to invest intensively in each case to drive real results. Functional Medicine naturally costs more than traditional, insurance-based services for a reason: it demands extensive provider expertise, advanced training, significant time commitment, continuous education, and is still not widely available.

Unlike many Functional Medicine practitioners who require numerous ongoing sessions, my goal is to help the majority of clients within just two to four total sessions, depending on your diagnosis and condition. Typically, the combined cost of these 2–4 sessions, along with recommended supplements, averages around $1000 - $1,500 over the course of 4–6 months.

While many providers order thousands of dollars’ worth of testing, I have learned — through years of experience — how to streamline the process and achieve similar results without unnecessary expenses. After working with so many individuals over the years, I firmly believe that healing the body through a Functional Medicine approach is a one-time investment for a lifetime of better health.

There is no price tag on feeling good and living well.

Moreover, many clients find that their investment comes back to them — often in the form of lower medical bills, fewer medications, and fewer missed workdays. From the IBS or Crohn’s client who can finally get to work on time and engage fully in life, to the IVF client who requires fewer retrievals, the PCOS client who conceives naturally, or the rheumatoid arthritis or colitis patient who reverses disease activity and reduces medication — the financial (and personal) payoff is undeniable.
