FINDING THE RIGHT THYROID TREATMENT JUST GOT EASIER
A thyroid powerhouse network that gets you well, finally.
LET'S GET REAL
IT'S TOUGH TO BE
A THYROID PATIENT.
YOU KNOW YOUR BODY
BETTER THAN ANYONE
AND YOU KNOW
SOMETHING
JUST ISN'T RIGHT.
(IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY)
YOUR SYMPTOMS TELL A STORY
The art of thyroid testing lies in the careful piecing together of seemingly unrelated, often misunderstood, symptoms.
Neurological Symptoms (migraines, deafness, vision changes, vertigo, tinnitus, sleep problems)
Cognitive & Psychiatric Conditions (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, cognitive decline, reduced attention span, depression, anxiety, bipolar)
Musculoskeletal Pain (fibromyalgia, gout, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, arthritis)
Diabetes & Cardiovascular Risk (hypertension, high cholesterol, edema, heart attack, obesity)
Over 300 potential symptoms (including fatigue, weight gain, menstrual problems, irregular body temperature, infection susceptibility, infertility, dental issues, hair loss, skin problems, digestive complaints)
THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON YOUR SYMPTOMS
That's the magic of this thyroid network.
Dana Trentini
One day my body suddenly broke. I suffered a miscarriage followed by the surgical removal of my baby when my TSH spiked dangerously high in pregnancy. As I was being prepared on the surgical table that fateful day, I vowed to claw my way back to health by devouring every scientific study that I could find and share it with the world. And Hypothyroid Mom was born.
You see, I was once the team leader of an Ivy League professor's research team. I was a young, healthy, always smiling graduate student with no clue how the unique skills I learned from that professor would one day save my life and how the information I uncovered would spread across the internet like a streak of lightening.
OVER ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS
FROM 189 COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD
If you've ever reached rock bottom with hypothyroidism where you can't keep your eyes open and function each day, you know there are no words that will ever come close to describing it. Consumed by unrelenting exhaustion, massive hair loss, headaches, muscle cramps, insomnia, memory loss, mood changes, heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent infections, sudden high cholesterol, I was scared.
One doctor after another dismissed me as a hypochondriac and sent me on my way with prescription after prescription that never helped. Then one day I drove 5 hours to meet the 8th doctor that I had visited by then. And she listened. She really listened to my symptoms. She ran different tests. She prescribed different medications. She used a completely different approach that no one had offered me before. And different was exactly what I needed. One by one my long list of baffling symptoms disappeared. I felt so well and grateful that I cried.
Over the next decade of my role as Hypothyroid Mom, I have received desperate pleas at all hours of the day and night from people around the world struggling to find better treatment. Their cries for help have pierced my soul. I know that pain. I know that fear. Unless you've lived it yourself, you just can't imagine. I want desperately to help everyone that visits my website but the challenge of finding optimal thyroid treatment is very real. You would think it would be easy to find a great thyroid doctor in this day and age but it's not so simple.
You're not a hypochondriac. You're not lazy. You're not faking. Those symptoms are real. You just need someone who truly understands.
After all these years, I can't stand by and watch people struggle any longer. Now I must act. I must do something, something big, to make a real difference, or at least give it my very best try.
I must emphasize a very important point. I am the founder of Hypothyroid Mom LLC. I am not a doctor and Hypothyroid Mom LLC does not provide medical advice or medical care of any kind. I've put my heart and soul into creating an online platform to connect patients to an extensive global network of independent companies including a team of licensed medical providers.
SOLUTIONS
THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS
TSH JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH
Problem: TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone, and yet traditional medicine relies on this one test for the clinical diagnosis and management of thyroid disorders. With a reference range as wide and as deep as the Pacific Ocean, the devastating result is sick people declared perfectly "normal" with symptoms all in their head.
Solution: This network of doctors uses a comprehensive diagnostic approach including advanced thyroid lab testing (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies, Thyroglobulin Antibodies), in-depth medical history and symptom evaluation, and computerized measurement of resting metabolic rate and deep tendon reflexes. A classic sign of hypothyroidism is delayed relaxation of deep tendon reflexes known as Woltman's sign.
A WORLDWIDE DILEMMA
Problem: The World Health Organization estimates that thyroid dysfunction affects 750 million people worldwide and the American Thyroid Association warns that up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.
Solution: In order to reach people across the globe, the solution required an unconventional approach beyond the traditional brick and mortal model. There are NO physical locations. This is a network of independent third-party businesses with medical doctors, laboratories, and pharmacies that offer virtual services for every country in the world.
YOUR PERFECT THYROID MEDICATION
Problem: Synthetic T4 is the gold standard for hypothyroidism treatment in mainstream medicine. Some people do great on T4, however the number of thyroid patients flocking to my website in serious states of illness tell a very different story. These medications simply don't work for everyone. There are alternatives like natural desiccated thyroid and combinations of synthetic T4 and T3, but it is an uphill battle to find doctors willing to prescribe these options.
Solution: The doctors in the network are not just open to the alternative thyroid medication options, they are skilled at titrating these medicines to find the ideal type, combination, and dosage to eliminate symptoms.
THYROID AUTOIMMUNITY IS RAMPANT
Problem: Thyroid autoimmunity is more than a thyroid problem. The immune system is designed to defend against harmful invaders but that immune system may mistakenly attack your own body parts. Like wildfire, that attack may spread from your thyroid (Hashimoto's) to your gut (Celiac Disease) to your joints (RA) to your nerves (MS) to your pancreas (Diabetes). The tragedy is that thyroid antibodies are rarely tested because traditional medicine has little to offer to directly address them.
Solution: The medical team has a high success rate of putting thyroid autoimmunity into remission and halting the autoimmune cascade with protocols developed through rigorous clinical trials.
THYROID TELEMEDICINE JUST FOR US
Problem: It shouldn't be so difficult to find a good thyroid doctor, right? Tell that to the millions and millions of visitors to the Hypothyroid Mom website every year. It's hard, near impossible, especially if you live far from main cities.
Solution: Your appointments with a licensed medical doctor will all take place virtually. They are hormone and autoimmune experts that focus on hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, and Hashitoxicosis.
Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?
That ends now.
THYROID DIFFERENTLY
FINALLY
TESTIMONIALS
I was in a state of severe hypothyroidism that I could barely keep my eyes open with multiple complicated factors that made it impossible for conventional doctors to help me with a quick routine medical visit. I needed someone to dive deep into my case. My body was highly sensitive to everything including thyroid prescription medications. I was getting sicker and sicker and I knew it. I turned myself into a guinea pig to write my beloved blog Hypothyroid Mom. I researched this disease upwards and downwards and I knew that the golden key was to locate the best thyroid doctor on the planet. I found not just one doctor but enough to create a global powerhouse network that can solve even the most complicated cases. For several years I have tested myself with every detail of the design - the innovative reflex speed testing, the advanced lab panel, the comprehensive symptom intake, the virtual doctor consultations, the prescription thyroid medications, the core thyroid nutraceuticals - every single step. I had to know that this unique approach worked. Thanks to years of thyroid research I was already feeling wonderful with hypothyroidism and I felt fortunate every day for my great health. What happened next shocked me. Within a short time with this new approach, I reached a state of health like nothing I ever imagined possible. I am a new woman and it feels like bliss.
I know I am not a good tablet taker, so I haven't been good at taking my tablets. Then I started taking them again to find an incredible difference. Hair growing strong (it had been breaking and falling) and luscious, lots of energy and general looking good again. It is like magic. All this with just a few tablets. The difference is actually quite remarkable.
~ Jenny F., Manila, Philippines
I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and could hardly get out of bed and been to see 6 or 7 doctors. Once I took the thyroid medication and nutraceuticals, within a short period of time, I felt like a teenager again; vital and young. I had my life back. I said to myself, "I'm back. I'm back!"
~ Gail T., Scottsdale, Arizona
I would like to personally thank Dr. T for his attentive attention and care when it comes to my thyroid health. I’m glad to see some of my most troublesome symptoms such as hair fall improve drastically. And of course, it’s definitely a plus not feeling cold throughout the day.
~ Asma, United Arab Emirates
Dr. Noemi is very knowledgeable and after just 3 months on NDT natural desiccated thyroid my energy has improved, anxiety lessened, depression gone, GI is good for the first time in years, nails stronger, more energy. Definitely good quality NDT. Highly recommend.
~ Megan
My name is Claudia. I am 22 years old and had a thyroidectomy 3 years ago. At the age of 18, I noticed an increase of weight and one year later I had gained over 40 pounds of excess weight in addition to feeling depressed and tired. My doctor noticed a "bump" on my neck and recommended I get it examined. It was Papillary Thyroid Cancer and my thyroid was removed. I decided to try checking my thyroid by a new reflex testing device. To my surprise, this was the only test that was able to give an accurate reading of my symptoms. I am thankful that I am almost back to normal. I no longer feel depressed, tired and I am controlling my weight.
~ Claudia, 22 year old, thyroid cancer survivor
I feel compelled to write and thank all those involved in making my experience one that will, quite literally, live with me forever. I must admit to being quite skeptical at first about having my thyroid function tested as I had, only a month before, been to my GP in Australia on the issue of lethargy and "fogginess" in my head and the blood tests had shown my thyroid to be in the "normal" range. What happened next almost blew my mind. On day 3 of taking my prescribed medication, I awoke, well before my alarm, and found that every effort to roll over and go back to sleep, which was my norm, was pointless as my mind and body were energized and wanted to get up and get going.
~ Marcela Z., Thailand
Having thyroid problems, suffered symptoms for over 30 years, and finding there are 12 other members of my immediate family also suffering and having suffered serious thyroid issues, I went about researching thyroid and related problems. I seemed to be able to keep it under control with less stress and a good diet until I suffered a serious Hay fever infection after travelling into NSW in the middle of harvesting late 2008. I couldn’t breath and continuously sneezed and carried on for weeks. I had not suffered sinus problems for over 20 years. Then a virus in 2009 bowled me over. I had been regularly detoxing and supporting my immune and digestive systems but when I suffered this virus I developed an excessive amount of mucous to the point of extreme. No matter what I tried, I could not get well and stay well. I can finally say I am well and have not felt this feeling of health for over 35 years. I feel invincible.
~ Jan S., Medical Practitioner and Patient, Australia
When our medical staff approached me that they wanted to start this new thyroid testing I was very skeptical if the reflex machine was going to impact our patients positively. Now, over 600 patients screened, I am a believer! Within 2 months of testing, 90-95 percent of our patients are coming back feeling much better.
~ Nan L., Registered Nurse
Dr. Noemi changed my life. I was an old woman and now I feel younger every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use this service?
The doctors in the network specialize in the treatment of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, and Hashitoxicosis. If your instincts tell you something isn't right with your body despite traditional thyroid testing & treatment, then this was built just for you.
Is this for men or is it for women only?
I am blessed to have men and women of all ages visiting Hypothyroid Mom and I welcome you all to join. When I created Hypothyroid Mom in 2012 after the unnecessary loss of my unborn child from severe hypothyroidism, Hypothyroid Mom seemed like the perfect name. I had no idea then that my website would reach far and wide across the internet.
Is this right for me if I have no thyroid gland, or partial, due to thyroidectomy, RAI or congenital hypothyroidism?
Yes. If you have no thyroid gland, or a partial gland that is not producing sufficient thyroid hormone, then you are hypothyroid. Every single cell of your body requires thyroid hormone for proper functioning. Providing your body with the right type and dosage of thyroid prescription medicine is not just important - it is vital.
What about people with hyperthyroidism?
Yes. While the name of my blog is Hypothyroid Mom, I've never forgotten about all the people in the world struggling with hyperthyroidism. It was important to me to include doctors in the network that specialize in the treatment of hyperthyroidism as well.
I have the thyroid autoimmune disease Hashimoto's or Graves' disease. Is this for me?
Yes. Treating thyroid autoimmune disease takes more than thyroid prescription medicine. Your immune system has gone awry destroying your own body part. I often hear from Hypothyroid Mom readers diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases. This is not surprising really. When your immune system attacks one body part it can begin attacking other body parts. Statistically someone with an autoimmune disease is at risk to develop a total of 7 autoimmune diseases in his or her lifetime. The medical doctors in the network have high success rates in putting Hashimoto's, Graves' disease, and Hashitoxicosis into remission with a unique approach based on rigorous clinical trials including prescription medicines not yet widely used in mainstream medicine.
Is this right for children?
No. This is for adults over the age of 18 only.
What if I am pregnant or nursing?
No. The network doctors do not treat pregnant or nursing mothers.
Is natural desiccated thyroid available?
Yes. The pharmacies in the network are well stocked with thyroid medications including natural desiccated thyroid.
Is this available for every country?
Yes. This is a thyroid telemedicine platform with virtual delivery worldwide.
Is an in-person visit to a location required?
No. An in-person visit is not required. It is highly recommended but completely optional. A trained technician provides computerized measurement of deep tendon reflex speed and resting metabolic rate. These calculations help your thyroid doctor pinpoint the optimal dose of thyroid medication for your body together with your lab results and symptoms. However, if you live far from the locations listed, you may proceed as an "Exception" and skip the physical visit so that the treatment is fully virtual. You will always be welcome to add-on this test to your services in future when a location opens near you.
How long does the visit take?
To minimize contact time in the new pandemic world, the optional visit to a trained technician for computerized measurement of deep tendon reflex speed and resting metabolic rate has been intentionally structured to take no more than 10 minutes
What protective measures are taken for COVID-19?
The trained technicians are located within independent third party businesses and each business is responsible for following regional COVID safety requirements. To minimize contact time, expect your visit to take no more than 10 minutes.
Are thyroid blood markers analyzed?
Yes. Laboratories in the network will mail you a comprehensive at-home thyroid lab kit with simple instructions for you to complete and mail the collected specimen for analysis. Thyroid lab markers include TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies, and Thyroglobulin Antibodies. Where regional regulations apply, including New York state, alternative options will be provided.
Can New York residents participate?
Yes. Due to regional rules, the at-home thyroid lab kit is not available for residents of New York state. However, alternative options to obtain thyroid lab testing externally will be provided and a refund for the lab kit portion of the package will be given.
What if I have no thyroid diagnosis but suspect it?
Yes. It is estimated that 750 million people suffer with thyroid disease worldwide but up to 60 percent remain undiagnosed. A thorough examination like this by a doctor that specializes in thyroid disease is key.
Can I visit a location for services in person?
No. This is a thyroid telemedicine network delivered virtually. There are NO physical locations. The optional reflex testing is delivered within independent pre-existing businesses with their own separate business names on the store fronts. Their role is to deliver the computerized reflex measurement only. All doctor appointments are virtual.
Can I use the telemedicine for my general healthcare?
No. The network doctors focus on hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, and Hashitoxicosis.
What's included in the package price?
The package includes an online thyroid symptom questionnaire, comprehensive at-home thyroid lab kit, reflex speed & resting metabolic rate testing, one virtual doctor consultation, 3 months supply of thyroid medication, and 3 months supply of two core thyroid nutraceuticals. As the approach is ultra personalized, your doctor may recommend additional laboratory tests and protocols ideal for your case.
What is the frequency of follow-ups and total cost?
A follow-up will be needed 1 month after you begin thyroid medication to retest and titrate accordingly. Most patients reach their optimal thyroid dosage by 1 to 2 follow-ups. Once optimal is reached, maintenance is every 6 months. The total cost for Year 1 ranges on average from $1,600 to $2,300 USD.
Can I use my own lab results instead of the at-home kit?
Yes, external labs may be used. You must provide all 6 thyroid lab markers (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies, Thyroglobulin Antibodies) taken within the last 2 months. A refund for the at-home thyroid lab kit portion of the package will be provided.
What are the qualifications of the doctors providing the telemedicine?
The network doctor are fully registered & licensed medical doctors with expertise in the treatment of thyroid disease.
Will my doctor prescribe thyroid medication?
Yes your doctor may prescribe thyroid medication if your body requires it. They are not only experienced in treating with the many thyroid medication options but they are also skilled at finding the right type and dosage for your body. Our bodies are all different and one of the challenges for thyroid patients is finding doctors not just open to the options but also experienced in navigating the many factors at play in thyroid disorders. It is this complexity in finding good thyroid doctors that has resulted in so many unwell thyroid patients worldwide.
How will I receive my thyroid medication?
Pharmacies in the network will mail your prescription medication to your address.
Are there refunds?
No. There are no refunds. Once you make your purchase, a mammoth machine is set in motion that brings together an elaborate global network of independent providers to deliver you a complete solution for the diagnosis and management of thyroid disorders.
Can I use my health insurance to cover costs?
Health insurance is not accepted. A cash only service enables the network to provide a level of personalized care far above the standard reimbursed by insurers.
What types of online payment are accepted?
Payment by credit card. Payment plans are also available.
Will this help me?
If your body is not producing sufficient thyroid hormone then the right thyroid hormone replacement medication titrated to the optimal dosage for your body by a skilled doctor may be the key thing that finally brings you back to feeling healthy. The additional two prescriptions in the package contain key ingredients that assist your body to best utilize the thyroid hormone in your prescription. The medical team has conducted rigorous clinical trials on 2,200 people over 3 years to find their winning formula. There is no guarantee however as every person's body will respond differently to treatment.
How long will it take for me to start feeling better?
Approximately 82% of patients require 2 to 3 doctor consults initially spread out once a month to reach their optimal dose of thyroid medication.
