Fatigue, Brain Fog, Hair Loss? Your Thyroid Might Be to Blame.
Thyroid Dysfunction Treatment in Tulsa
Your thyroid controls everything—from your energy and metabolism to your hair, mood, and weight. But if your thyroid isn’t functioning optimally, you may struggle with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, thinning hair, brain fog, constipation tendencies, menstrual irregularities, water retention, and more.
At WellSpot Functional Medicine, we go beyond standard testing to uncover the root cause of thyroid dysfunction and create a personalized plan to restore your thyroid health.
Did you know?
60% of people with thyroid disease don’t even know they have it.
Signs of Thyroid Dysfunction
Many people are told their thyroid labs are “normal,” yet still feel exhausted, foggy, or unwell. That’s because symptoms often appear when thyroid levels are below optimal—even if they’re within the standard reference range. We treat based on how you feel, not just what’s on paper.
Optimal Thyroid Ranges: Free T4: 1.1 – 1.5 ng/dL - Free T3: 3.5 – 4.5 pg/mL)
Common Symptoms of Low or Suboptimal Thyroid:
Fatigue & morning exhaustion—even after a full night’s sleep
Brain fog & poor concentration
Weight gain or inability to lose weight
Hair loss, especially at the hairline or eyebrows
Cold hands & feet
Bloating, puffiness, or fluid retention
Dry skin & brittle nails
Irregular menstrual cycles or hormone imbalances
Depression, low mood, or lack of motivation
Symptoms of Hyperthyroid (Overactive Thyroid / Graves’ Disease):
Unexplained weight loss
Heart palpitations or a racing heart
Anxiety, restlessness, or feeling “wired”
Trouble sleeping or frequent night waking
Heat intolerance or excessive sweating
How We Treat Thyroid Dysfunction
Unlike conventional medicine, which only looks at TSH levels, we take a functional medicine approach—digging deeper to identify nutrient deficiencies, adrenal function, autoimmune triggers, and gut health to create a customized treatment plan for lasting results.
-
We test far beyond TSH and look at:
Free T3 (the active thyroid hormone)
Free T4 (the precursor hormone)
Reverse T3 (to check for conversion issues)
Thyroid antibodies (to detect autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s)
Key nutrients like Ferritin and Vitamin D with other minerals and toxin testing available
Cortisol, insulin, and related hormones that can be playing a role in suboptimal thyroid hormones.
-
Root-Cause Support for Suboptimal & Low Thyroid
Nutritional therapy and targeted supplementation (selenium, zinc, iodine, B vitamins, and adrenal support)
Adrenal and stress management (high cortisol diminishes the conversion of Free T4 to Free T3)
Gut health support and blood sugar balance (thyroid function is supported by proper nutrient levels, reduced inflammation, and stable blood glucose/insulin levels)
Thyroid Hormone Optimization
Customized supplement support for key minerals
Natural thyroid medications (T3/T4 combinations if needed)
Liothyronine (T3) may be used in low doses if Free T4 is optimal but Free T3 remains low
Autoimmune & Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Treatment
Reduce inflammation and antibody levels through lifestyle changes
Gluten-free and anti-inflammatory nutrition support
Low-dose Naltrexone and other autoimmune-specific therapies
Supplement support with Vitamin C and immune-supportive nutrients
Hyperthyroid & Graves' Disease Support
Balance the immune response to calm thyroid activity
Nutritional and supplement support to prevent nutrient depletion and rebalance minerals
Stress and adrenal support to regulate hormone fluctuations
Identification of toxins and medically guided detox (autoimmune diseases, including Graves', are often linked to mold, heavy metals, environmental toxins, or viral infections)
Symptoms We Treat
✓ Persistent fatigue and low energy
✓ Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain
✓ Brain fog and trouble concentrating

FAQs
-
Yes. Many people experience symptoms of thyroid dysfunction even when their TSH is within the standard reference range. That’s why we test deeper—looking at Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to assess true thyroid function and catch suboptimal levels that are often missed.
-
Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, cold hands/feet, dry skin, hair thinning, and irregular cycles. These symptoms can appear gradually and are often dismissed until they become severe.
-
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid, often leading to hypothyroidism over time. We test for antibodies to detect Hashimoto’s early.
-
We combine advanced testing, targeted supplementation, nutritional support, gut and adrenal health, and, when needed, natural thyroid medications to restore healthy thyroid function. We treat based on optimal ranges, not just what’s “normal.”
-
Everyone is different, but many patients start to feel improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment. Long-term results come from consistently supporting the root causes of dysfunction while monitoring and adjusting your plan as needed.
