Revitalize Your Energy Reignite Your Life.

Your thyroid is the master regulator of your metabolism. It impacts your energy, weight, mood, skin, hair, digestion, body temperature, heart rate, and even fertility. But millions of people—especially women—go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years, told their labs are “normal” while they continue to feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck in their healing.

At Triad Of Health Family Healing Center in San Rafael, we understand that true thyroid healing goes far beyond TSH. If needed, we will assess your full thyroid panel—including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and both types of thyroid antibodies—and also evaluate how your liver, gut, adrenals, and immune system are functioning. Why? Because thyroid problems rarely exist in isolation. Every cell in your body responds to thyroid hormone.

We don’t just manage thyroid dysfunction. We help your thyroid heal quickly and permanently.

We’ve helped hundreds of patients reverse autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s, shrink nodules, discontinue medication, and even normalize lab results—naturally. Plus, we have the case studies from those patients to prove it.

This chart below shows that about 93% of the hormone put out by your thyroid is in the form of Thyroxine (T4) which is the inactive thyroid hormone.  It is like crude oil because it needs to be converted to the active thyroid hormone, Triiodothyronine (T3), in cells throughout your body. About 60% of that conversion takes place in your liver and about 20% or so takes place in your gut when T3 sulfate is converted to T3 acetate which is finally able to be converted to triiodothyronine.  As you can also see from the chart, about 20% or so of the T4 that is made is never converted. You could say that it is lost. Sometimes this is referred to as Reverse T3. This hormone is inactive and never creates change in target tissue throughout your body. Blood labs only focus on inactive thyroid hormone, bound thyroid hormone, which cannot make any change in target tissue anywhere in the body.  The bound thyroid hormone must first be unbound. The free hormone, active thyroid hormone, circulates in the lymphatic system, allowing for more accurate and clinically relevant test results when using saliva laboratory analysis. This is one of the big reasons why many people who have severe thyroid symptoms still have normal lab work. The lab work may not have ever been done properly, or it might not have been interpreted accurately. Dr. Skolnikoff trains other health care providers about thyroid metabolism and biochemistry so they can be more effective with their patients. 

Your thyroid is so crucial, that without it you would not have the calcium needed to make your bones and stand upright. Calcitonin is the thyroid hormone that helps your body to put calcium into your bones. This process works in conjunction with normal healthy digestion, which allows for nutrient absorption and bioavailability.  A whole food diet rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, amino acids, phytochemicals, water, and free from excessive dangerous poisons and toxins and toxoids is integral.
