What We Treat
Thyroid and metabolic health care in Kelowna.
Individualized care for thyroid symptoms, blood-sugar regulation, insulin resistance, energy, and body-composition concerns, coordinated with appropriate laboratory testing and medical treatment.
What we look at
Specific concerns and patterns.
Thyroid markers
TSH, free T3 and T4, and antibodies — not just TSH.
Insulin resistance & blood sugar
Fasting Insulin, and post-meal patterns, A1C, and inflammation.
Cholesterol & inflammation
Lipid panels and the markers that predict risk. HS-CrP, Homocysteine, ApoB100.
Weight resistance & body comp
Plans that work by overhauling your physiology.
Approach
How we approach it.
Care starts with a complete lab panel and a metabolic assessment, and your personalized plan combines nutrition, lifestyle, and (when appropriate) thyroid or metabolic support, with monitoring built in.
Personalized assessment
Connect thyroid results with the wider metabolic picture.
Fatigue, temperature changes, hair or bowel changes, and weight concerns can overlap with thyroid disease, nutrient status, sleep, medication effects, and metabolic health. Symptoms and laboratory data need to be considered together.
Review the complete context
We review symptoms, medications, family history, nutrition, sleep, movement, previous thyroid results, and other metabolic markers.
Use labs appropriately
Testing or repeat testing may be considered when clinically appropriate, with prescription decisions coordinated with the prescribing clinician.
Address multiple drivers
Care may include nutrition, blood-sugar support, movement, sleep, and targeted nutrients while avoiding assumptions based on weight alone.
Common questions
Before you book.
What if my TSH is normal but I still have symptoms?
A normal result does not explain every symptom. The next step is to review the full clinical picture and consider other established causes rather than assuming the thyroid is responsible.
Can supplements interfere with thyroid medication?
Yes. Some nutrients and supplements can affect absorption or interact with treatment, so timing and suitability should be reviewed with your prescribing clinician.
Is weight always a thyroid issue?
No. Body composition is influenced by many factors, including sleep, nutrition, activity, medications, hormones, and blood-sugar regulation.
