Thyroid Health & Optimization
Personalized care for energy, metabolism, and hormone balance.
At FOY Medical, we treat thyroid dysfunction with a focus on clinical symptoms, advanced labs, and patient preference — not just TSH alone. We offer both synthetic (T4-only or T4/T3) and desiccated (natural) thyroid hormone options to help you feel your best.
Thyroid Medication Comparison
