Bottom Line Up Front

Mathew Jadan, Holistic Practitioner offers comprehensive thyroid Support for Florida residents suffering from hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or thyroid hormone resistance. Unlike conventional doctors who only test TSH and prescribe levothyroxine (synthetic T4), we perform complete thyroid panels including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. As a licensed physician, Dr. Jadan can prescribe all forms of thyroid medication including natural desiccated thyroid, compounded T3/T4 combinations, and time-release formulations—options many conventional practitioners won't consider.

Understanding Thyroid Dysfunction

Your thyroid gland controls metabolism, energy production, body temperature, weight, mood, and countless other functions. Even mild thyroid dysfunction can dramatically impact quality of life.

Hypothyroidism (Low Thyroid)

Underactive thyroid production leads to slowed metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, depression, brain fog, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and more. Affects 5-10% of adults, particularly women.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland causing gradual destruction and declining function. Most common cause of hypothyroidism in developed countries. Requires immune modulation alongside thyroid hormone replacement.

Thyroid Hormone Resistance

Normal thyroid lab values but hypothyroid symptoms due to cellular resistance, conversion problems, or reverse T3 dominance. Conventional doctors often miss this because TSH appears "normal."

Thyroid Dysfunction Symptoms

Energy & Metabolism

  • Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
  • Difficulty waking in the morning
  • Weight gain despite diet/exercise
  • Inability to lose weight
  • Slow metabolism
  • Low body temperature

Mental & Cognitive

  • Brain fog and mental sluggishness
  • Poor memory and concentration
  • Depression and mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Difficulty thinking clearly
  • Lack of motivation

Physical Symptoms

  • Hair loss and thinning
  • Dry skin and brittle nails
  • Muscle weakness and aches
  • Joint pain
  • Puffy face and fluid retention
  • Cold hands and feet

Digestive & Hormonal

  • Chronic constipation
  • Slow digestion
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Low libido
  • Infertility
  • High cholesterol

Comprehensive Thyroid Testing

Conventional doctors typically only test TSH. We perform complete thyroid panels to identify the full picture of thyroid function and dysfunction.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

Pituitary hormone signaling thyroid to produce hormones. High TSH suggests hypothyroidism. However, normal TSH doesn't rule out thyroid dysfunction—many patients have "normal" TSH but low Free T3.

Free T4 (Thyroxine)

Primary hormone produced by thyroid gland. Must be converted to active T3 in tissues. Many patients have adequate T4 but poor conversion to T3, causing symptoms despite "normal" labs.

Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)

Active thyroid hormone that drives metabolism and energy. This is what actually matters at the cellular level. Low Free T3 explains why patients feel hypothyroid despite normal TSH.

Reverse T3 (rT3)

Inactive form of T3 that blocks thyroid receptors. High Reverse T3 causes thyroid hormone resistance—adequate T4/T3 in blood but cells can't use it. Often elevated with stress, inflammation, or toxins.

Thyroid Antibodies

TPO (thyroid peroxidase) and TG (thyroglobulin) antibodies indicate Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis. Identifies patients needing immune-modulating interventions alongside thyroid hormone.

Supporting Nutrients

Vitamin D, selenium, zinc, iron/ferritin, and B12 are essential for thyroid hormone production and conversion. Deficiencies prevent optimal thyroid function even with medication.

Thyroid Support Options

Levothyroxine (Synthetic T4)

Examples: Synthroid, Levoxyl, Tirosint

Synthetic T4 hormone that requires conversion to active T3. Works well for some patients but insufficient for those with conversion problems or who need direct T3 supplementation.

Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT)

Examples: Armour Thyroid, Nature-Throid, WP Thyroid

Contains both T4 and T3 from porcine thyroid glands. Provides the full spectrum of thyroid hormones the body naturally produces. Many patients feel significantly better on NDT than synthetic T4 alone.

Liothyronine (Synthetic T3)

Examples: Cytomel, Liothyronine

Direct T3 supplementation for patients who don't convert T4 to T3 effectively. Can be used alone or combined with T4. Particularly helpful for reverse T3 dominance.

Compounded T4/T3 Combinations

Custom-compounded thyroid medications with precise T4:T3 ratios tailored to individual needs. Allows flexibility in dosing that commercial products don't offer. Available in sustained-release formulations.

Time-Release T3

Compounded slow-release T3 that provides steady levels throughout the day rather than peaks and crashes. Better symptom control and more stable energy for many patients.

Supportive Therapies

Selenium, zinc, vitamin D, iron, iodine (when appropriate), adaptogenic herbs, gut healing, inflammation reduction, and stress management to optimize thyroid function and hormone conversion.

Our Thyroid Support Process

1

Comprehensive Evaluation

Detailed symptom assessment, medical history, family history of thyroid disease, medication review, and evaluation of factors affecting thyroid function (stress, toxins, inflammation, gut health).

2

Complete Thyroid Panel

TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, TG antibodies. Plus supporting nutrients: vitamin D, selenium, zinc, ferritin, B12. We test what matters, not just TSH.

3

Root Cause Identification

Identify underlying factors: Hashimoto's autoimmunity, nutrient deficiencies, conversion problems, reverse T3 dominance, adrenal dysfunction, gut issues, chronic infections, or toxin exposure affecting thyroid function.

4

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on lab results, symptoms, and individual factors, Dr. Jadan prescribes appropriate thyroid medication (T4 only, NDT, T3, or combinations). Includes nutrient repletion, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle modifications.

5

Monitoring & Optimization

Regular follow-ups (every 6-8 weeks initially, then every 3-6 months) with repeat thyroid testing to assess response and optimize dosing. We adjust medication type, dosing, or timing based on symptoms and lab values.

6

Hashimoto's Management (if applicable)

For autoimmune thyroiditis: immune-modulating interventions including gluten elimination, gut healing, selenium supplementation, vitamin D optimization, stress reduction, and addressing infections or toxins triggering autoimmunity.

Why Choose Dr. Jadan for Thyroid Support?

Comprehensive Testing

We test beyond TSH to include Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies. This complete picture reveals dysfunction that conventional testing misses and explains why patients still feel hypothyroid despite "normal" TSH.

All Medication Options

Access to levothyroxine, natural desiccated thyroid (Armour, Nature-Throid), liothyronine (T3), compounded combinations, and time-release formulations. We find what works for YOU, not just what's easiest to prescribe.

Treat Symptoms, Not Just Labs

We optimize thyroid function based on how you feel, not arbitrary lab ranges. Many patients feel best with Free T3 in upper-normal range—we adjust medication to achieve symptomatic improvement, not just "normal" numbers.

Root Cause Approach

We identify and address why your thyroid isn't functioning optimally: autoimmunity, nutrient deficiencies, conversion problems, inflammation, gut dysfunction, or toxin exposure. This integrative approach enhances treatment effectiveness.

Hashimoto's Expertise

Specialized protocols for autoimmune thyroiditis including immune modulation, dietary interventions (gluten-free, AIP), gut healing, nutrient repletion, and identifying autoimmune triggers. Thyroid hormone alone isn't enough for Hashimoto's.

Virtual Consultations

Telemedicine appointments for Florida residents. Receive expert thyroid care, medication prescriptions, and lab orders from home. No need to travel—convenient thyroid Support accessible statewide.

What to Expect from Thyroid Support
