Our ThyroidVIP® (Thyroid Virtual Integrative Program) allows patients to pursue optional, integrative testing to determine their underlying root causes of autoimmunity and inflammation.  ThyroidVIP services include specialized integrative testing, exploring the root cause of why a patient has continued autoimmunity or thyroid nodules/cancer.  For example, we know that exposures to certain chemicals, food intolerances, or undiagnosed asymptomatic infections can potentiate and worsen an autoimmune condition.  With ThyroidVIP, we are committed to discovering your unique and individual root cause of thyroid disease.

ThyroidVIP® provides additional services beyond what health insurance reimburses or covers.

ThyroidVIP^® offers the most innovative, state-of-the-art assessment to help discover your individual root cause of thyroid disease. It is available to all of our thyroid patients, but especially for:

• Hashimoto’s Disease
• Graves’ Disease
• Thyroid Nodules
• Thyroid Cancer

Your insurance companies may not pay for exploratory testing to determine why you have thyroid disease, what underlying vitamin deficiencies may be contributing, or what toxins and environmental exposures impact your thyroid disease. Most of the time a person’s root cause of thyroid disease is not readily apparent and may be due to multiple underlying issues, many of which remain clinically silent without symptoms. There are many reasons patients develop autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s disease, Graves Disease), thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancers. Although genetics contribute to disease development, environmental exposures (including toxins, foods, vitamins, allergens, and infections) play an even bigger role.

ThyroidVIP^® offers tests for the following:

• Gut microbiome testing
• Food and allergen sensitivity testing
• Stress and emotional hormone testing
• Environmental testing (heavy metals, mycotoxins, and environmental chemicals)
• Immune system balance testing
• Other integrative specialized testing
