When I first went to Ethos I was 240lbs, inflamed, tired and had significant brain fog from an autoimmune thyroiditis. I have worked out most of my life and eaten relatively healthy but I couldn’t lose fat and my cardiovascular endurance was terrible. I tried CrossFit because you can’t help but lose fat in CrossFit and the 60+ year old women in the class were smoking me the entire time. I couldn’t keep up. It felt like I was carrying a 300 lb sack on my back. My prior pcp gave me one thyroid hormone and said this is it. You’ll have to take this the rest of your life.

The hormone didn’t help at all. After more extensive testing at Ethos, Dr. Hernandez determined I needed T3 and T4 along with supplements to help with cortisol and other hormones. He has always been open to discussing and safely experimenting with treatment protocols instead of arrogantly demanding some standard treatment or stating that reversing the disease is impossible.

I am now 205lbs with no painful inflammation, or brain fog and feel healthier than ever. My thyroid went from non working to working again and my antibodies reduced significantly. We were able to lower my medication due to my progress and we continue to move towards no longer needing the medication all together. If I stayed with my conventional doctor, I would probably be miserable, on a higher dose of hormones and being told the next step is to remove my thyroid.

If you want to find out what’s going on with your body, make an appointment. They will run the tests necessary to actually find out what’s wrong and how to treat it.
