Fatigue, Burnout, Brain Fog
From "your labs look fine" and total exhaustion to actually knowing what was wrong
Judi dealt with fatigue and brain fog for years. No one could tell her why. She came to us because she'd run out of options. After thorough testing and working together, she finally got answers about what her body had been trying to tell her all along.

What is a comprehensive thyroid panel?
What is a comprehensive thyroid panel?
A comprehensive thyroid panel tests TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, and Thyroglobulin antibodies. It shows how your thyroid is actually functioning — not just whether your pituitary is trying to kick-start it.
This gives us the full picture of what's happening: whether your thyroid is making enough hormone, whether your body is converting it properly, whether inflammation or autoimmunity is involved, and whether anything is blocking thyroid function.
Most doctors only test TSH. We test all of it.
Why doesn't my regular doctor test my T3 and T4 levels?
Why doesn't my regular doctor test my T3 and T4 levels?
Usually because insurance won't cover it unless TSH is already abnormal.
Conventional medicine follows guidelines built around saving money. TSH is cheap to test. Full panels cost more. If your TSH looks "normal," most insurance companies won't pay for more testing — even when you clearly have symptoms.
That's why so many women get stuck: they feel awful, but their one test comes back "fine," so nothing happens.
What is Reverse T3 and why does it matter?
What is Reverse T3 and why does it matter?
Reverse T3 (rT3) is an inactive form of thyroid hormone your body makes when you're stressed, inflamed, or low on nutrients like selenium or zinc.
The problem: rT3 blocks active T3 from working. So even if your T3 levels look okay, high rT3 means the T3 isn't getting into your cells. You end up with all the classic hypothyroid symptoms — exhausted, gaining weight, can't think straight — even though your TSH and T4 look normal.
This happens all the time in women dealing with chronic stress, gut problems, or autoimmune issues. And most doctors never test for it.
Can I have thyroid problems if my TSH is under 2.5?
Can I have thyroid problems if my TSH is under 2.5?
Absolutely.
TSH doesn't tell you what's actually happening with your thyroid hormones. You can have a TSH of 1.5 and still have:
Low T3 (conversion problems)
High Reverse T3 (blocking thyroid function)
Hashimoto's antibodies (early autoimmune disease)
Low Free T4 (not making enough hormone)
A lot of women start feeling symptoms when their TSH goes above 2.0, even though that's still "normal" by standard ranges.
If you don't feel right, your testing needs to go deeper than just TSH.

I’ve seen so many doctors and still don’t feel better. How is this different?
I’ve seen so many doctors and still don’t feel better. How is this different?
Most doctors' appointments are about managing symptoms. We dig deeper to figure out what's actually causing them.
We take time to listen, run tests that go beyond the standard panel, and look at how your hormones, gut, thyroid, stress levels, and daily habits are all connected.
It's not about throwing more prescriptions at the problem. It's about figuring out what your body is trying to tell you.
What kinds of problems do you help with?
What kinds of problems do you help with?
A lot of our clients come to us after dealing with unexplained fatigue, gut problems, hormone issues, thyroid dysfunction, anxiety, or chronic inflammation for years.
Some have a diagnosis already. Others just know something's off.
If you've ever heard "your labs look normal" but still feel like crap, we can help figure out what's actually going on.
What can I expect from the first appointment?
What can I expect from the first appointment?
Your first visit isn't a quick 10-minute thing. It's a real conversation where we go through your full history - past lab work, symptoms, stress, lifestyle, all of it.
You'll walk away with a clear plan for next steps and personalized testing that actually starts giving you answers.
Do I need to stop seeing my current doctor?
Do I need to stop seeing my current doctor?
No. We're not here to replace your doctor, we work alongside them.
We actually collaborate with your other providers pretty often. The goal is to help everyone on your team see the full picture.
How long does it take to start feeling better?
How long does it take to start feeling better?
It depends. Some people notice changes in their energy and sleep within a few weeks. For others, the deeper stuff takes a few months.
We're not into quick fixes. We focus on real, lasting improvements, so every step actually moves you forward.
Is this covered by insurance?
Is this covered by insurance?
Functional medicine typically isn't covered.
But think of it this way: it's an investment in finally getting real answers and a plan that actually works, instead of spinning your wheels with symptoms no one seems able to help with.
Can you help if I’m not local?
Can you help if I’m not local?
Yep. We do virtual appointments for clients in Michigan, Florida, and Texas.
We can ship testing kits to you, and we'll go over your results in detail during video sessions. You get the same level of care, just from home.
