Thyroid Care · South Texas
Your thyroid affects everything. Let's actually test it.
Most providers check TSH and call it done. I look at the full picture: TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and antibodies.

Many providers only check TSH and T4, a fraction of the picture. I order a full thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3) plus antibodies, because autoimmune thyroid disease, like Hashimoto's, is one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism and easy to miss with narrow testing.
Diet, lifestyle, and environment all shape thyroid health. Personalized lab testing looks at your whole system, not just one gland in isolation, so your treatment plan actually matches what's driving your symptoms.
A full health history and symptom mapping, so nothing gets treated in isolation.
A full thyroid panel and antibodies, well beyond standard bloodwork.
Nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and treatment built around your results.
TSH alone misses a lot. Free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies together tell a much fuller story. Many people with a normal TSH still have real thyroid dysfunction underneath.
Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid, and it's one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism in the US. Antibody testing is how we catch it.
Yes. The same root-cause approach applies whether your thyroid is under- or overactive.
Sometimes, yes, and that's fine. The goal isn't to avoid medication at all costs; it's to combine the right treatment with the lifestyle and nutrition factors that actually support thyroid function.
Thyroid treatment tends to be gradual. Many patients notice initial changes in energy within 4–6 weeks, with fuller results over a few months as levels stabilize.
Wellness.Balance.You. doesn't bill insurance directly, so I'm not limited by what a plan will or won't cover. I can provide a receipt for your visit that you may submit for out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA/FSA funds can typically be used for consultations, labs, and supplements.
