Functional Medicine for Hashimoto's & Thyroid Conditions

Your labs
say normal.
Your body
says otherwise.

If you've spent years being dismissed, medicated without answers, and told to accept feeling this way — you haven't had the right doctor look at your case yet. I find what others miss.

You've been trying to explain this for years

These aren't
signs of aging.
They're clues.

Every symptom you've been dismissed for is a data point I'm trained to read. When I look at your labs and your history together, a pattern emerges — one most physicians never see because they stop looking too soon.

Crushing Fatigue

You sleep 8 hours and wake up exhausted. By 2pm you're running on empty. No amount of coffee changes that.

Brain Fog

You can't think clearly. Words disappear mid-sentence. You feel like you're operating behind glass.

Weight That Won't Move

You've changed your diet. You're exercising. The scale doesn't respond — or moves in the wrong direction.

Medication Without Results

You're on Synthroid or levothyroxine and still feel terrible. Your doctor says your levels are fine.

Normal Labs, Abnormal Life

Every test comes back within range. But something is clearly wrong and you can feel it every single day.

Not Being Listened To

You leave every appointment feeling dismissed. Ten-minute visits. No one is actually looking at the full picture.

What I hear every week

Two questions I was
built to answer.

"
Why do I still have symptoms even though I'm on medication — or my labs are completely normal?
"
My doctor doesn't listen to me. I want to know why I'm feeling this way — and I need someone who will actually find out.

If you've said either of those things — out loud, or quietly to yourself on the drive home from another disappointing appointment — I want you to know I have heard those exact words hundreds of times. And I have the answers. Every single time, there is a reason. My job is to find yours.

Why I do this work

I didn't find
functional medicine.
My wife led me there.

My wife had been struggling for years. Hormones. Energy. Weight. A body that felt like it was failing her in ways nobody could explain. It got so bad she was sleeping through the entire day — waking up right before I got home from work so I wouldn't know how bad things really were. She went from doctor to doctor. Every appointment ended the same. A prescription. A referral. No real answers.

Then one night she leaned over and said: "You have to figure this out for me. Nobody else is getting anywhere."

So I did. Over $200,000 invested. Medical conferences across multiple countries. Seminars, specialists, and advanced clinical training that most doctors never pursue. I was not going to stop until I understood exactly what was happening in her body — and exactly what to do about it.

We figured it out. And what I learned in that process changed the way I practice medicine forever. I stopped seeing patients the conventional way entirely. Every patient I see now gets what my wife finally got — a doctor who looks for the reason why, not just a prescription to manage symptoms until the next visit.

This isn't conventional medicine

What makes this different from
everything you've already tried.

01

We test what your case actually requires — not a standard menu.

Every patient gets a diagnostic plan built around their specific case — not a standard panel pulled from a menu. We order what your situation actually calls for. The goal is never to run tests for the sake of it. It's to build a complete picture of what's happening in your body that nobody has taken the time to build before.

02

We find the root cause — not a symptom to manage.

Fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog are downstream effects. We work upstream — examining inflammation, gut health, adrenal function, and hormonal balance — to find where the problem actually originates.

03

Your protocol is built for your specific physiology.

No generic programs. No cookie-cutter protocols. Every recommendation is built from your actual lab data. This is personalized medicine executed with real precision.

04

We see patients virtually — anywhere in the world.

You don't need to be in Utah to work with me. Our fully virtual practice delivers the same depth of care to patients across the country and internationally without compromise.

How this works

A clear path from
confusion to answers.

Every patient goes through the same methodical process. No guesswork. No generic recommendations. Just a specific plan built on what your body is actually telling us.

Step 01

Comprehensive Blood Work

Before any conversation about strategy, we get data. Every patient starts with a comprehensive blood panel that goes far beyond what most doctors order — a full baseline picture of what's actually happening in your body. This is the foundation everything else is built on. Most patients tell us it's the most thorough workup they've ever had.

Step 02

Case Review with Dr. Scott

A full hour with me personally. I walk through every result, give you a real explanation for what I'm seeing, and show you specifically what's been driving your symptoms.

Step 03

Personalized Root Cause Protocol

A complete plan built for your specific physiology — advanced testing, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle strategy aligned to exactly what your labs reveal.

Step 04

Guided Implementation

You're not handed a plan and left alone. We implement together — with regular check-ins, follow-up labs, and real-time adjustments as your body responds.
