Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Treatment in Kansas & Missouri: A Modern, Root-Cause Solution
You’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. You’re taking thyroid medication.
But you’re still exhausted. Your brain is foggy. Your weight won’t budge. Your labs are “normal,” but you don’t feel normal.
You’re not crazy—and you’re not alone.
At EvoHealth Functional Medicine, we help patients across Overland Park, Kansas City, Olathe, Wichita, and Missouri finally get answers and lasting relief by addressing the root cause of Hashimoto’s—not just the symptoms.
What Is Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease, not just a thyroid problem.
Your immune system attacks your thyroid gland, slowly destroying its ability to produce critical hormones. Over time, this leads to hypothyroidism, but symptoms often start years before a clinical diagnosis is made.
Common Signs of Hashimoto’s (That Are Often Dismissed)
Patients with Hashimoto’s often experience:
-
Fatigue or burnout that doesn’t improve with rest
-
Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
-
Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
-
Cold intolerance (cold hands, feet, or always needing a jacket)
-
Thinning hair or dry, brittle nails
-
Brain fog or memory issues
-
Constipation or sluggish digestion
-
Irregular periods or fertility issues
And the most frustrating part? Most of these symptoms are brushed off or blamed on age, stress, or lifestyle—not your immune system.
Why Conventional Treatment Falls Short
Most patients are managed with synthetic T4 monotherapy (levothyroxine), with dosing based solely on TSH levels. However, research shows this approach often leaves patients symptomatic due to:
-
Impaired T4-to-T3 conversion
-
Elevated reverse T3 (rT3) levels
-
Low free T3 despite “normal” TSH
-
Thyroid receptor resistance
-
Ongoing autoimmune activity despite normalized hormones
Studies indicate up to 40% of patients on levothyroxine still report significant symptoms—including fatigue, depression, weight gain, and cognitive dysfunction. (Wartofsky & Dickey, J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2005)
Our approach begins with advanced diagnostics to uncover where the thyroid signaling cascade is disrupted—and why the immune system is attacking the thyroid to begin with.
Functional Medicine Lab Testing for Hashimoto’s in Kansas & Missouri
We run a full thyroid and autoimmune panel, including:
-
TSH
-
Free T3 / Free T4
-
Reverse T3
-
Total T3
-
TPO antibodies (TPOAb)
-
Thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb)
-
Ferritin, iron panel, B12, vitamin D
-
Cortisol (DUTCH or salivary profiles)
-
GI-MAP or stool analysis (gut infections, H. pylori, dysbiosis, zonulin)
-
Mycotoxin & environmental toxicity panels (where indicated)
This allows us to map dysfunction across multiple systems and prioritize interventions that calm the immune system, reduce inflammation, and restore thyroid function—naturally.
Addressing Root Causes of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Hashimoto’s is rarely “just genetic.” Environmental and internal stressors are almost always present. At EvoHealth, our protocols are based on individualized combinations of:
Immune Modulation
-
Identify and remove dietary antigens (gluten, casein, cross-reactive foods)
-
Repair gut permeability (zonulin-mediated tight junctions)
-
Reduce systemic inflammation via personalized nutrition and botanicals
Gut-Immune Axis Support
-
Address intestinal dysbiosis, SIBO, candida, and leaky gut
-
Replace missing digestive enzymes and bile support
-
Restore healthy IgA and mucosal immunity
HPA-Axis & Mitochondrial Support
-
Rebalance cortisol and circadian rhythm to reduce immune flare
-
Support mitochondrial function and cellular energy via key nutrients (selenium, zinc, magnesium, B6)
The Future of Thyroid Replacement: Coming Soon to EvoHealth
Many Hashimoto’s patients do require hormone replacement, but T4-only therapy (levothyroxine) is not always sufficient—especially in those with impaired T4-to-T3 conversion or low peripheral deiodinase activity.
Emerging evidence supports combination therapy (T4 + T3) or compounded bioidentical thyroid formulations for improved quality of life. (Hoermann et al., Thyroid Research, 2019)
At EvoHealth, we’re currently developing personalized thyroid hormone replacement protocols, including desiccated thyroid, bioidentical compounded options, and targeted T3 support—tailored based on each patient’s labs, metabolism, and receptor sensitivity.
Stay tuned—this offering will be available to all Kansas and Missouri patients soon.
