These Symptoms Have a Name.
And a Treatment.
Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in the US — particularly in women. It shows up as a constellation of symptoms that are often attributed to stress, aging, or anxiety.
At Sollie Health in Spring, TX, we run a comprehensive thyroid panel that catches what a TSH-only test misses. If your thyroid is driving your symptoms, we'll find it — and treat it directly.

Thyroid Conditions We Diagnose
and Treat in Spring, TX
We treat the full spectrum of thyroid dysfunction — from autoimmune Hashimoto's to subclinical hypothyroidism that most providers dismiss.
Hypothyroidism
An underactive thyroid that produces insufficient hormone. Causes fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and cold intolerance. Highly treatable with the right medication and monitoring protocol.
TSH · Free T4 · Free T3Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
An autoimmune attack on the thyroid — the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US. Requires TPO antibody testing to diagnose and a treatment approach that addresses the immune component, not just the hormones.
Autoimmune · TPO AntibodiesSubclinical Hypothyroidism
TSH mildly elevated but still within "normal" range — yet symptoms are real and significant. We interpret labs in the context of your symptoms, not just the reference range. Many patients feel dramatically better with treatment.
Symptom-Informed ApproachT3 Conversion Problems
Your body must convert T4 into active T3 — and this process can be blocked by stress, inflammation, or nutritional deficiencies. Reverse T3 elevation is a key indicator that we test for and treat directly.
Reverse T3 · Free T3Thyroid & Hormone Overlap
Thyroid dysfunction rarely operates alone. It's deeply connected to estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin. We assess the complete hormonal picture — because treating only one piece rarely resolves the whole problem.
Whole-Body ApproachOngoing Thyroid Monitoring
Once diagnosed and treated, your thyroid levels need regular reassessment. We schedule follow-up panels and adjust your protocol proactively — not reactively — to keep you feeling consistently well.
Regular Labs · Dose OptimizationWe Test 5 Markers.
Most Providers Test 1.
A TSH-only test misses the majority of thyroid problems. Here's everything we measure — and why each marker matters.
TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
The signal from your brain to the thyroid. Useful — but tells you nothing about actual hormone production.
Free T4
Free Thyroxine
The main hormone produced by the thyroid. Must be converted to T3 to be active. Low = underproduction.
Free T3 ★
Free Triiodothyronine
The active thyroid hormone your cells actually use. The most important marker — and the most commonly skipped.
Reverse T3
Reverse Triiodothyronine
An inactive form of T3 that blocks receptors. Elevated in chronic stress, inflammation, and nutritional deficiency.
TPO Ab
TPO Antibodies
Detects Hashimoto's thyroiditis — an autoimmune attack on the thyroid. Cannot be diagnosed without this test.
★ Free T3 is the single most important thyroid marker — and the one most commonly omitted by standard labs.
Your Thyroid Care at Sollie Health
Comprehensive from visit one. No waiting months for a specialist. No generic "your TSH is fine."
Full Consult & History
We review your symptoms, how long you've had them, what you've been told before, and what other factors may be affecting your thyroid.
Complete Panel Ordered
TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and TPO antibodies — plus nutrients known to affect thyroid function like ferritin, Vitamin D, and B12.
Results Reviewed Together
We walk through every marker with you. No "everything looks normal" dismissals. Your results are interpreted in the context of how you actually feel.
Treatment & Optimization
Medication if indicated, nutritional support, lifestyle adjustments, and regular follow-up labs to keep you optimized — not just "in range."
Transparent Thyroid Care Pricing.
No Surprises.
Thyroid patients almost always have related issues — hormones, weight, metabolism, fatigue. That's not a coincidence; it's biology. DPC membership covers all of it at one flat monthly rate. Non-members are always welcome too.
Note: Medication costs are not included and are paid directly to your pharmacy. Generic thyroid medications (levothyroxine, liothyronine) are typically $4–$20/month at most pharmacies — one of the most affordable prescriptions available.

You May Need a Complete
Thyroid Evaluation If…
Thyroid disease is most common in women 35 and older — and it is consistently undertested and underdiagnosed. If you've been managing symptoms for months or years without clear answers, a comprehensive thyroid panel is a reasonable first step.
Our direct primary care model means same-day or next-day access, no referral required, and a provider who actually has time to review all five markers with you.
- You've been told your thyroid is "normal" but symptoms persist
- You're gaining weight without changes to diet or exercise
- Fatigue follows you no matter how much you sleep
- Brain fog is affecting your work or daily life
- Your hair is thinning or falling out
- You feel cold when everyone else is comfortable
- You have a family history of thyroid or autoimmune disease
- You've been diagnosed with anxiety or depression that isn't responding to treatment
"I had been to three different doctors over two years. They all told me my TSH was fine. Ruth ordered the full panel on my first visit and found that my Free T3 was critically low and my TPO antibodies were elevated. That was the answer I'd been looking for."— Sollie Health Patient, The Woodlands, TX
Thyroid Disease Is
a Long Game. DPC Is Built for It.
Thyroid management isn't a one-and-done visit. It requires regular lab monitoring, ongoing dose adjustments, and a provider who tracks how you feel over time — not just what your numbers say on any given day.
Insurance-based primary care isn't set up for this. You get 7 minutes, one problem per visit, and a provider who may not remember you from the last appointment.
With a DPC membership at $99/mo, your thyroid care is included — unlimited visits, telehealth, and everything connected to it. Because thyroid doesn't operate in isolation. And neither should your care.
Thyroid + Hormones
Low thyroid suppresses estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Treating thyroid alone rarely resolves everything. We treat the full hormonal picture.
Thyroid + Weight
Thyroid dysfunction directly impairs metabolism. Many patients see meaningful weight loss once their thyroid is optimized — especially with GLP-1 support if needed.
Thyroid + Mental Health
Depression and anxiety are among the most common thyroid symptoms — and among the most commonly misattributed. We assess thyroid before defaulting to psychiatric medications.
Thyroid Questions, Answered
What thyroid tests do you run at Sollie Health?
We run a complete thyroid panel including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and TPO antibodies. This comprehensive approach catches what a TSH-only test misses — including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and T3 conversion problems that leave patients symptomatic even when TSH appears normal.
What are signs of an underactive thyroid?
Common signs include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, cold intolerance, hair thinning, constipation, dry skin, depression, and slow heart rate. Many patients with hypothyroidism have normal TSH but low Free T3 — which is why we test the full panel.
What is Hashimoto's thyroiditis and how is it diagnosed?
Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, gradually reducing its ability to produce hormones. It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US and can only be diagnosed by testing TPO (thyroid peroxidase) antibodies — a test that is not included in standard thyroid panels at most clinics.
Is thyroid treatment included in DPC membership?
Yes. DPC membership at $99/month includes unlimited primary care visits, ongoing thyroid management, and telehealth follow-ups with no per-visit fees. Lab costs are passed through at wholesale pricing. There are no co-pays and no insurance required.
Where can I find a thyroid doctor near Houston, TX?

Can thyroid problems cause anxiety and depression?

At Sollie Health, thyroid evaluation is part of our approach to any patient presenting with mood symptoms.
