Frustrated by your hypothyroidism diagnosis and looking for answers?
Unlike ‘conventional’ medicine specialists, we don’t just treat the disease itself, but instead identify the underlying imbalances in the body that are causing the disease. i.e. the reasons why you thyroid isn’t working optimaly.
- We find out what is exactly going on in your body through a thorough in-depth analysis and world’s best lab testing.

We may also recommend other appropriate testing, including gut microbiome and function testing.
