Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto’s Treatment in St. Louis

A Functional Medicine Root-Cause Approach

If you’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s and still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not alone. Many patients in the St. Louis area come to our clinic frustrated by fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation, irritability, digestive issues, brain fog, and “normal” labs that don’t explain how bad they feel.

At Premier Health Care, we take a functional medicine approach to thyroid health focused on why you thyroid is struggling, not just managing numbers on a lab report.

What’s the Difference Between Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s?

Hypothyroidism means the thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormone.

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism and is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks the thyroid.

Many patients are treated with medication alone without ever being told they have an autoimmune disease. Most doctors don’t even look for the cause of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s because they already know the treatment; just give the patient thyroid hormones. Patients don’t get better with this type of care because no one knows what is causing it in the first place.

Why Medication Alone Isn’t Always Enough

Thyroid Medication can help, but it doesn’t address root causes such as:

  • Chronic stress and adrenal dysfunction
  • Gut health issues and inflammation
  • Food sensitivities( especially gluten)
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Blood sugar Imbalance
  • Immune system triggers
  • Infections

Your thyroid is connected to your gut, hormones, immune system, and nervous system. Functional medicine looks at the whole picture.
