STRUGGLING WITH AUTOIMMUNE THYROID CONDITIONS ISN'T A LOST CAUSE
...IT'S A CORRECTABLE ISSUE ROOTED IN COMPLEX, INTRICATE IMBALANCES THAT CAN BE SOLVED
Beyond standard TSH testing, we examine full thyroid panels, nutrient levels, gut health, adrenal function, and environmental factors to identify your unique thyroid disruption patterns.
Address the underlying causes of thyroid dysfunction with personalized interventions targeting inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, and hormonal imbalances.
Implement sustainable dietary changes, stress management techniques, sleep optimization, and targeted supplementation to restore optimal thyroid function naturally.
Regular monitoring, adjustments, and accountability ensure lasting results as your body heals and thyroid function improves.

Myth:
Thyroid problems are just genetic - there's nothing you can do to improve thyroid function.
Truth:
While genetics can play a role, the majority of thyroid imbalances are driven by complex environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors that can be identified and addressed through Functional Medicine protocols.
Myth:
Weight gain, fatigue, and brain fog are just normal symptoms of thyroid problems.
Truth:
These issues are not inevitable. They are frequently linked to underlying nutrient deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, and other functional imbalances that can be resolved.
Myth:
Once you have an autoimmune thyroid condition, there's nothing you can do to stop the progression.
Truth:
Research shows that Functional Medicine approaches can often help put autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's into remission by addressing the root causes.
Meet Shelley Plescia
Combining my expertise in Functional Wellness, Integrative Nutrition, and Mind-Body Therapies, I've developed a proven system for revitalizing the thyroid, physical, and emotional wellbeing of my clients.
Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition -
Eliminate food triggers like gluten, dairy, and processed foods while emphasizing organic vegetables, quality proteins, and healthy fats to reduce inflammation and support thyroid function.
Key Nutrient Restoration -
Replenish critical thyroid nutrients including selenium, zinc, iodine, iron, and vitamins A, D, and B complex through targeted food choices and supplements when necessary.
Toxin Reduction -
Minimize exposure to thyroid-disrupting chemicals in food, water, and personal care products while supporting your body's natural detoxification pathways.
Stress Management -
Implement daily practices like meditation, gentle movement, and breathing exercises to reduce cortisol and support the thyroid-adrenal connection.
Cellular Energy Production -
Thyroid hormones directly influence mitochondrial function and ATP production, your body's cellular energy currency. Optimizing T3 levels enhances mitochondrial efficiency for sustainable all-day energy.
Circadian Rhythm Reset -
Restore proper cortisol rhythm and melatonin production through targeted protocols that align with your thyroid function, improving morning energy and nighttime sleep quality.
Oxygen Utilization -
Improve red blood cell function, iron metabolism, and oxygen delivery to tissues by addressing thyroid-related anemia and respiratory inefficiencies for better stamina.
Adrenal Support -
Balance the complex interplay between thyroid and adrenal function to prevent energy crashes and stabilize your energy reserves throughout the day.
Identify Triggers -
Discover your unique autoimmune triggers through advanced testing, food sensitivity assessments, and environmental evaluations to stop the immune system attack on your thyroid tissue.
Heal the Gut -
Restore intestinal barrier function and rebalance gut microbiome to reduce immune system overactivation, as 70% of immune system function originates in the gut.
Reduce Immune Reactivity -
Implement specific protocols to modulate immune function and decrease antibody production against thyroid tissue, potentially halting or reversing the autoimmune process.
Support Thyroid Regeneration -
Provide targeted nutrition and supplementation to protect remaining thyroid tissue and support cellular repair and regeneration over time.
Balanced Metabolism -
Optimize thyroid hormone conversion to properly regulate your metabolic rate, calorie burning, and energy usage.
Hormone Harmony -
Address related hormonal imbalances in insulin, leptin, and cortisol that interact with thyroid function and affect weight regulation.
Inflammation Reduction -
Decrease systemic inflammation that both impairs thyroid function and promotes fat storage, especially around the midsection.
Lifestyle Alignment -
Implement thyroid-specific exercise, sleep, and stress management protocols that support weight loss without triggering further imbalance.
