At iThrive Health & Wellness , we believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. Our approach to healthcare is centered around the individual, with a focus on prevention, wellness, and patient education utilizing the functional medicine model, which many have called integrative health medicine in the past.
Our goal is to offer patients direct primary care with a focus on prevention using the functional medicine model. Our holistic health practitioners are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to our patients, where they feel heard, considered, and are an active part of their care team.
As we age many of our hormone levels begin to decline. These changes can affect multiple organ systems negatively. Bringing these hormones back to a more youthful level will restore many aspects that are missed from youth, as well as help to maintain strong bones and a healthy heart.
We assess many hormones which include, but are not limited to ADH, ACTH, Androstenedione, Cortisol, DHEA, DHT, Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone, Pregnenolone, Progesterone, PTH, Testosterone, TSH, T3, T4, and Reverse T3.

Many years after a head injury the changes can continue to produce inflammation and negatively affect cognition and memory.

As we age the natural hormone and peptide levels we produced in our 20s and 30s decline. Peptide therapy can be a safe and effective way to increase those levels in a healthy way.

Traditional approach to hypothyroidism is levothyroxine (T4) or Synthroid alone. Most people do not do well on T4 alone. Many continue to complain hypothyroid symptoms despite their labs being "within normal range". Also, many times traditional treatment does not address the underlying cause, whether autoimmune, inflammatory, stress related, or micronutrient deficiency related. We assess all potential causes and work to correct those causes while balancing ALL of your thyroid hormones.
Low dose naltrexone, also known as LDN, is a compounded medication that has been found to be beneficial in both autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

That's why we offer a range of resources to help you stay informed and engaged in your care, including educational materials and online tools.

We strive to keep diagnostics as cost effective as possible!
