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.

The conditions I focus on

If this sounds like your body,
you're in the right place.

Hashimoto's
Hypothyroidism
Hormonal Imbalance
Gut Health
Chronic Fatigue
Inflammation
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. Put your labs and your history side by side and a pattern emerges, one most doctors miss because they stop looking too soon.

Crushing Fatigue

Eight hours of sleep and still empty by 2pm. Coffee doesn't touch it.

Brain Fog

Words vanish mid-sentence. You're thinking through glass.

Weight That Won't Move

You changed the diet and added the workouts. The scale ignores you.

Medication, No Relief

On Synthroid or levothyroxine, still exhausted, and told your levels are "fine."

Normal Labs, Abnormal Life

Every test comes back in range. Your body says otherwise, every day.

Not Being Heard

Ten-minute visits. Dismissed. No one looking at the whole picture.

What I hear every week

Two questions
that finally have an 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, out loud or quietly on the drive home from another dead-end appointment, I've heard those exact words hundreds of times. There is always 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.

"After years of being told my labs were normal while I felt terrible every single day, Dr. Scott found what everyone else missed. For the first time I actually understand what has been happening in my body."

Hashimoto's
"I was unbelievably tired and moody. No energy, hair loss, hot all the time, anxious, constantly craving sweets. Dr. Scott diagnosed me with Hashimoto's and I started the program in January. Just one month in, I already feel 75% better! My energy is changing, my sleep is incredible, and my moods are evening out. If you're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, go get your life back!"

Hashimoto's
"I've had Hashimoto's for 20+ years and tried every thyroid medication on the market. None of them made me feel 100%. Stubborn weight, tired every afternoon, constant gut issues, brain fog, dry skin and hair. Three months into Dr. Scott's program, this is the best I've ever felt. My energy is steady all day, I've lost 15 pounds, the brain fog is gone, and I finally know which foods were working against me. I could not have gotten here without Dr. Scott and his team. I highly recommend him!"

Questions

Everything you’re
wondering about.

I’m not in Utah. Can I still be a patient?

Yes. My practice is fully virtual. Most of my patients have never set foot in Utah, and they get the same care from home that they’d get in my office.

How is your testing different from my doctor’s?

Most doctors run a handful of markers and judge them against broad “normal” ranges. I test comprehensively, built around your case, and read the whole picture. That’s how we catch what a standard panel misses.

What conditions do you focus on?

Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, hormone imbalance, gut issues, chronic fatigue, and the inflammation underneath them. If you’ve had thyroid or chronic symptoms no one could resolve, you’re who I built this practice for.

I’ve spent money on things that didn’t work. Why is this different?

Fair question. I’d be skeptical too. The difference isn’t trying harder, it’s looking wider. Most of what you’ve tried treated symptoms. My job is to find why they’re happening, using your own data instead of a generic protocol.

What actually happens in the Root Cause Consultation?

First, comprehensive lab work. Then a full hour with my clinical team walking through every result and what’s driving how you feel. Most patients call it the most thorough review they’ve ever had. You leave understanding your body better, whatever you decide next.

Do you accept insurance?

No, and that’s on purpose. Insurance pays for ten-minute visits. Working outside it lets us spend a full hour on your case and order the testing you actually need. Happy to walk you through how it works.
