Thyroid, Hypothyorid & Hashimotos Optimization Services in Memphis, TN
At MetroMed, we take a functional and personalized approach to thyroid health. Many patients are told their thyroid labs are “normal,” yet they still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, mood changes, and brain fog.
That’s because traditional medicine focuses solely on lab numbers rather than how the thyroid is functioning in the body. True thyroid optimization means understanding how hormones like T3, T4, and reverse T3 interact, how your body converts and utilizes them, and how other systems—such as adrenal and sex hormones—affect your metabolism and energy. Our goal is to restore balance and vitality, not just normalize a lab report.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own thyroid gland, is one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism, yet it’s often under-addressed in conventional care. At MetroMed, we are experts in optimizing thyroid health even in the presence of autoimmune disease.
We offer both retail and compounded thyroid preparations, ensuring each patient receives the precise formulation their body needs. Our treatment plans often include targeted vitamin and nutrient supplementation—such as selenium, zinc, vitamin D, and iodine—to support conversion and reduce inflammation. By addressing root causes and symptoms, we help patients regain energy, mental clarity, and overall wellness.
Traditional medicine often relies on outdated reference ranges and focuses only on TSH levels. At MetroMed, we go beyond standard labs to assess active thyroid hormones (Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3) and thyroid antibodies. This allows us to identify functional imbalances that traditional testing overlooks and tailor treatment to how you feel, not just what your labs show.
Unlike conventional clinics that rely solely on one-size-fits-all prescriptions, we specialize in true thyroid optimization. We consider your symptoms, lab patterns, nutrition, and hormonal balance to create a customized plan. Our providers are experts in balancing thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones together—because your thyroid never functions in isolation.
Yes. Many clinics simply prescribe thyroid medication without addressing the autoimmune inflammation that drives Hashimoto’s. At MetroMed, we take a root-cause approach—identifying triggers such as nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalance, and immune dysfunction. We combine thyroid replacement (retail or compounded) with supplements and lifestyle strategies to calm inflammation and protect thyroid tissue.
We provide both retail options (Armour Thyroid) and customized compounded preparations that are bioidentical and precisely dosed. This flexibility allows us to fine-tune your treatment based on your body’s conversion efficiency and sensitivity to ingredients, ensuring optimal results.
Most patients begin noticing improvements in energy, mood, and metabolism within 4–8 weeks, though full optimization may take several months. Our team monitors your progress closely, adjusting your protocol as needed. At MetroMed, we don’t stop until your numbers and symptoms align—because feeling your best is our definition of success.
