How Our
Method Works
We use the Conscious Medicine Method™ to move you through three steps:
Investigate → Revive→ Thrive
Rather than focusing solely on medication adjustments, we work to understand factors affecting your thyroid function and overall health.
Phase 1: Investigate
Comprehensive assessment of thyroid function and overall health
This Step includes two 75-minute consultations beyond standard testing to understand your health concerns and needs.
🩺 Initial Clinical Consultation (75 minutes)
We’ll discuss:
- Your health history and when symptoms began
- Hormone patterns, stress factors, digestive health, and immune history
- Previous lab results and treatments you’ve tried
- Areas that may benefit from further evaluation
- We may recommend comprehensive laboratory testing that assesses:
- Free T3 and Free T4 – thyroid hormone levels and activity
- Reverse T3 – stress-related thyroid markers
- TPO and TG antibodies – for autoimmune thyroid conditions
- Nutrient markers – including selenium, iodine, B12, zinc, and liver function
- Inflammatory markers and detoxification pathways
- Mitochondrial health and heart rate variability
📊 Results Review (75 minutes)
We’ll review your results and discuss:
- Factors that may be affecting your thyroid function
- Whether concerns relate to hormone production, conversion, immune factors, or cellular function
- A personalized plan for the Support Step
Phase 2: Revive
Creating optimal conditions for thyroid health
Our approach goes beyond hormone replacement to support your body’s ability to utilize hormones effectively while addressing underlying factors.
Your personalized protocol may include:
- Digestive and liver support to address inflammation and immune triggers
- Nutritional support (selenium, iodine, magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, B12) to support thyroid hormone production and conversion
- Detoxification support to optimize cellular function
- Stress management and adrenal support, including cortisol balance and nervous system regulation
- Bioenergetic therapies to support mitochondrial function and immune balance
- Anti-inflammatory nutrition plans and lifestyle modifications to support hormone function
- Supporting thyroid health involves addressing the complete health picture.
Phase 3: Thrive
Long-term health optimization and vitality
We focus on long-term optimization once thyroid hormones are better supported and your system is more balanced.
This Step may include:
- Fine-tuning thyroid support, including natural or compounded medications when appropriate
- Hormone balancing for menstrual health, menopause, or adrenal support
- Mitochondrial support and regenerative approaches
- Weight, mood, and metabolism optimization
- Autoimmune support strategies
- Health tracking for sustained energy and well-being
- Personalized routines for continued energy, mental clarity, and emotional balance
- This Step focuses on helping your body function optimally rather than just managing

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How to take care of yourself with Hashimoto's disease?
Caring for yourself with Hashimoto’s starts with listening to your body. Focus on:
- Eating nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods (like leafy greens, healthy fats, and lean proteins)
- Supporting gut health, since digestion and immunity are connected
- Managing stress with tools like meditation, breathing, and gentle movement
- Getting quality sleep to help your body heal and reset
Working with a practitioner to understand your labs, track thyroid dysfunction signs & symptoms, and create a plan that works for your life, not just a prescription.
What triggers a Hashimoto's flare-up?
Flare-ups can happen when the immune system gets overwhelmed. Common triggers include:
- Stress (emotional or physical)
- Poor sleep or overexertion
- Gluten or inflammatory foods
- Gut imbalances or infections
- Hormonal changes
- Environmental toxins or mold exposure
At Conscious Medicine, we help you find and gently remove your triggers while supporting your body’s ability to stay balanced.
What supplements should you avoid with Hashimoto's?
Not all supplements are helpful; some may even make things worse. Be cautious with:
- Iodine, especially in high doses, can worsen autoimmune activity.
- Ashwagandha, which may overstimulate the thyroid in some people
- Iron or calcium taken too close to thyroid meds (can block absorption)
- Selenium or zinc, if taken without proper testing
We always test before recommending, so your supplement plan supports your thyroid without harming it.
How does Hashimoto's affect your everyday life?
Hashimoto’s can impact how you feel day to day, including:
- Feeling tired, even after rest
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Mood swings or feeling low
- Weight changes or cold sensitivity
- Digestive troubles or hair thinning
You may not “look sick,” but we know these symptoms are real. Conscious Medicine supports your whole self, not just your labs.
What shouldn't you do with Hashimoto's?
To avoid worsening symptoms, it’s best to:
- Avoid ignoring symptoms or brushing them off as “normal”
- Don’t self-dose supplements without guidance
- Don’t push through fatigue — listen to your body
- Avoid extreme diets or harsh cleanses that stress your system
- Don’t skip regular check-ins — your needs may change over time
We’re here to guide you gently, so you don’t have to guess your way through it.
What are the five stages of Hashimoto's?
Hashimoto’s often progresses through stages. Understanding where you are helps you take the proper steps. The five stages include:
- Genetic Susceptibility – You may have genes for autoimmunity, but no symptoms yet
- Immune Activation – Your immune system starts attacking the thyroid silently (labs may be normal)
- Subclinical Hypothyroidism – TSH rises slightly, but many doctors still call it “normal”
- Overt Hypothyroidism – Thyroid hormone levels drop, and symptoms become more noticeable
- Thyroid Failure – The thyroid can no longer keep up without support
At Conscious Medicine, we don’t wait until stage 4 or 5; we support healing and balance at every Step.
