Your Personalized 8-Month Autoimmune Hypothyroid (Hashimoto's) Program

Living with undiagnosed or poorly managed Hashimoto’s can feel like you’re quietly struggling under a heaviness no one else can see.

The fatigue is relentless, untouched by rest or sleep. You may notice increased hair loss, dry and dull skin, and brain fog that affects memory, focus, and mood. Weight gain may feel sudden and unexplained, confidence may waver, and cold intolerance or digestive changes can become part of everyday life.

 

For some, these symptoms are compounded by fertility challenges — including difficulty conceiving or a history of early pregnancy loss — adding another layer of frustration and grief.

Your Personalized 8-Month Autoimmune Hypothyroid (Hashimoto's) Program

Living with undiagnosed or poorly managed Hashimoto’s can feel like carrying a constant weight through daily life. The fatigue is relentless, untouched by rest or sleep. You may notice increased hair loss, dry and dull skin, and brain fog that affects memory, focus, and mood. Weight gain may feel sudden and unexplained, confidence may waver, and cold intolerance or digestive changes can become part of everyday life.

 

For some, these symptoms are compounded by fertility challenges — including difficulty conceiving or a history of early pregnancy loss — adding another layer of frustration and grief.

Why “Normal” Labs Aren’t the Full Story

With Hashimoto’s, you may have been told your lab work is ‘normal’ or that taking ‘Synthroid’ should solve all your problems. Yet, Even with medication, you may still struggle with persistent symptoms, while conventional doctors dismiss your ongoing symptoms.

This disconnect occurs because standard care only manages lab numbers such as TSH and T4, and rarely address other factors such as compromised thyroid hormone conversion or the underlying immune dysfunction at the heart of Hashimoto’s.

We partner with you to restore thyroid health, optimize thyroid hormone levels, and regulate immune activity—breaking the vicious cycle of autoimmune thyroid attacks.

Thyroid & Immune Health involves a delicate interplay between:

    • Thyroid, Adrenal and Sex Hormones
    • Brain & Nervous System
    • Digestive Health
    • Liver & Detoxification
    • Metabolic Stability
    • Immune Function
    • Genetics
    • Diet & Lifestyle
    • Emotions
    • Environment

How We Identify the Key Drivers of
Autoimmune Hypothyroidism

Through comprehensive testing and a deep review of your health history, we assess and uncover the core influences underlying your thyroid and immune health.

What Conventional Thyroid Care Often Overlooks

We examine key factors that are rarely explored in standard thyroid care, including:

  • The impact of chronic stress on thyroid hormone production and conversion.
     
  • How diet, environmental exposures, and lifestyle habits influence thyroid health.
     
  • The role of gut health and the microbiome in thyroid hormone conversion.
     
  • How liver function and detoxification capacity affect thyroid balance.
     
  • The relationship between sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and thyroid hormones.
     
  • The ongoing interaction between the immune system and thyroid function.
 By understanding how these systems interact, we can create a targeted, step-by-step plan tailored to what your body truly needs to support thyroid function, hormonal balance and immune regulation.

A Root-Cause Approach to Hashimoto’s Healing

Our comprehensive approach to Hashimoto’s recognizes that “every autoimmune condition has triggers unique to each individual.
 
Rather than focusing only on the thyroid itself, we also investigate the underlying Root Triggers that may be driving the immune system to attack your thyroid.
 
These triggers may include:
  • Food Sensitivities
  • Increased Gut Permeability (“leaky gut”)
  • Hidden Infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, or fungal)
  • Hormone Shifts &/or Imbalances
  • Chronic Stress
  • Nutrient deficiencies/excesses
  • Environmental Toxin Exposures
 
By identifying and addressing these triggers, we work to:
  • Calm immune system activity
  • Support thyroid function
  • Restore balance to the body

Patient Stories of Transformation

I have worked with Dr. Gina for the past 7 years for menopausal issues and hypothyroidism. She was the first one to discover I had an under active thyroid and helped me choose the most appropriate thyroid medication, as well as, guided me on the specific supplements that would further support my thyroid health. She coached me with diet and lifestyle and I learned things from Dr. Gina that no one previously had explained to me. Dr. Gina has such a supportive and compassionate nature to her, listening intently to my every complaint and or worry and always empowering me with education and providing me with actionable steps I can be taking with my health. I would at a loss with my health if it worn't for finding and working with Dr. Gina.
Liz E.
I was referred to Dr. Gina by my neighbor who had been going to her for years. My neighbor and I would go on walks where we would discuss her treatment with Dr. Gina. I would pick my neighbor's brain every time we would get together, leading me to finally reaching out to Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness and Dr. Gina. Dr. Gina made me feel like I was her only patient, always being so generous with her time and patient with my millions of questions...
Mary P.
I originally started seeing Dr. Gina for shoulder and low back issues. She is awesome treating sport and musculoskeletal issues and her acupuncture treatments for my back and shoulder pain helped me tremendously. The acupuncture treatments on my shoulder greatly speed up my recovery from a rotator cuff surgery. During one of my visits when Dr. Gina goes through and asks about general health issues, I had mentioned that I was loosing a ton of hair, gaining weight even though I was working out almost daily, felt like I could never get enough sleep to quench my chronic fatigue and always felt cold to the point I would sit in front of my space heater during the summer. She recommended that we run some lab work on me and look at a thorough thyroid panel...

"I was referred to Dr. Gina by my neighbor who had been going to her for years. My neighbor and I would go on walks where we would discuss her treatment with Dr. Gina. I would pick my neighbor's brain every time we would get together, leading me to finally reaching out Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness. Dr. Gina made me feel like I was her only patient, always being so generous with her time and patient with my millions of questions. I first started seeing Dr. Gina for thyroid issues that weren't being fully addressed by my primary care doctor. She recommended I look into different thyroid hormone medication alternatives, which resulted in me finally getting on the right medication which changed so much for me. I finally wasn't waking up feeling like a zombie, never feeling like I could get enough sleep. She also helped me modify my diet and learn how to choose foods that optimized and supported my health, especially my blood sugar which also often tended to be borderline high. Within a year of working with Dr. Gina all my labs normalized to the point my primary doc asked what I had been doing. I of course told him all about Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions. After working with Dr. Gina for two years, my family and I moved out of Colorado for 5 years and then returned in 2021. Once we moved back to Colorado, I immediately booked a consult with Dr. Gina as I had been suffering from all the lovely symptoms that come along with being peri-menopausal. Once again, Dr. Gina put my mind at ease, armed me with information and dispelled all the misinformation surrounding HRT. Like usual, she ran a gamut of labs on me and checked my hormone levels and to no surprise, my hormone levels were tanked. From there, she made a game plan for me and I haven't looked back yet. She has inspired me and empowered me to become my own self advocate which has been worth it's weight in gold. I thought enduring and suffering through peri-menopause was normal and just a part of "getting older". Dr. Gina explained the importance of starting and staying on HRT and that "toughing out" my night sweats, sleepless nights, crazy brain fog and weight gain that came out of no where, was not an option anymore. She taught me that those symptoms were my alarm bells to larger and more complicated issues down the road if I didn't get myself on the proper HRT and support my body was needing at this stage of life. Don't know what I would have done without Dr. Gina all these years."
"I originally started seeing Dr. Gina for shoulder and low back issues. She is awesome treating sport and musculoskeletal issues and her acupuncture treatments for my back and shoulder pain helped me tremendously. The acupuncture treatments on my shoulder greatly speed up my recovery from a rotator cuff surgery. During one of my visits when Dr. Gina goes through and asks about general health issues, I had mentioned that I was loosing a ton of hair, gaining weight even though I was working out almost daily, felt like I could never get enough sleep to quench my chronic fatigue and always felt cold to the point I would sit in front of my space heater during the summer. She recommended that we run some lab work on me and look at a thorough thyroid panel. I had just had my blood work ran by my PCP a few months prior to this and brought in those labs to her. My TSH was 3.2 and my doctor told me "everything looked fine". That was the only thyroid marker he ordered and measured on me. Dr. Gina explained that she liked to run and look at thyroid panels that included multiple markers and not just the TSH. However, she did also explain that a TSH of 3.2 was well "out of the functional range" but still within the "laboratory range" so was considered, "normal" by general allopathic standards. Once we got my lab results back from the labs Dr. Gina ran on me, they revealed that not only did I have a very under active thyroid, but that my labs showed I was positive for thyroid anti-bodies, revealing that I had an underlying autoimmune process attacking my thyroid, aka, "Hashimoto's. Dr. Gina explained that there is a genetic piece underlying Hashimoto's and that it often runs in family lines. This made total sense to me as my mother and both my grandmothers had hypothyroidism. I was finally able to start putting all the pieces to my health mysteries together. Dr. Gina helped guide me in choosing the best thyroid medication to request from my doctor. She also curated an entire personalized dietary and supplement protocol for me, as well as, helped me resolve chronic GI issues (H. Pylori and Parasites) I had since traveling abroad, which I believe was also crucial to my healing, in addition to the thyroid medication. It took me about 9 months to fully get myself dialed in with the proper medication dosage. Once my medication dosage was finally dialed in, I began to feel what it felt like to have proper thyroid hormone levels. I could finally think straight and actually felt rested after a normal 7-8 hours of sleep. This was after literally years of never feeling good or right. I also realized how many of my health issues I was trying to bring to my doctor were being flat out dismissed... Forever Grateful for all Dr. Gina has done for me and helped me with."
