Symptoms of a thyroid problem
The thyroid influences nearly every system in the body, so symptoms are easy to misattribute to something else. Common signs of an underactive or imbalanced thyroid include:
- Persistent fatigue, even after a full night's sleep
- Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Brain fog and trouble concentrating
- Hair thinning or hair loss
- Feeling cold when others are comfortable
- Dry skin
- Depression or low mood
- Constipation
- Irregular or heavy periods
Thyroid issues often go undetected because people are treated for these symptoms separately, when they actually stem from one underlying problem.
Why "normal" labs can miss the real problem
Many patients are tested with a single marker (TSH) and told everything is fine. A complete thyroid evaluation looks at much more — including free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies — to reveal what a basic screen can miss, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the autoimmune condition behind most cases of low thyroid function.
Understanding the whole thyroid picture is the difference between managing a number and actually helping you feel better.
Our approach to thyroid care
Comprehensive thyroid testing
A full panel rather than a single value, so we can see how your thyroid is truly functioning and whether autoimmunity is involved.
Root-cause evaluation
We look at the autoimmune, nutritional, gut, and lifestyle factors that drive thyroid dysfunction, not just the thyroid in isolation.
Personalized treatment
Care is tailored to you, which may include thyroid medication options, targeted nutrition, and support for the underlying autoimmune process.
A true partnership
We take the time to explain what’s happening in your body so you understand your own health and feel supported at every step.
Why patients choose Beverly Medical Center for thyroid care
Dr. Goode-Kanawati is a board-certified physician (family practice; formerly board-certified in emergency medicine), an integrative and functional medicine practitioner, and — as a hypothyroidism patient herself — someone who deeply understands what her patients are going through. Her book, The Ultimate Thyroid Book, grew out of decades of uncovering thyroid problems that conventional workups kept missing.
Our philosophy: we listen, we learn, and we partner with you to help you enjoy your healthiest life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you treat Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism?
Yes. Beverly Medical Center provides root-cause evaluation and personalized treatment for hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and complex thyroid conditions at our Raleigh, NC practice.
My thyroid labs came back normal, but I still feel awful. Can you help?
Often, yes. A single TSH result doesn’t tell the whole story. We run a complete thyroid panel — including free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies — to identify problems a basic screen can miss.
What is Hashimoto's thyroiditis?
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. It’s the most common cause of low thyroid function, and addressing the underlying autoimmune process is central to how we approach care.
Does Dr. Goode-Kanawati really specialize in the thyroid?
Yes — thyroid disease is one of her core specialties, and she is the author of The Ultimate Thyroid Book, a guide to understanding and treating thyroid conditions, available on Amazon and other booksellers.
