Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder. It occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormone. Common symptoms include:

Fatigue
Forgetfulness, Brain fog and poor focus
Weight gain and foot swelling
Joint and muscle pain, fibromyalgia

Hypothyroidism has non-specific symptoms, so if you notice any of these, please come in and get your thyroid tested.

Dr Lerner evaluates and treats common thyroid conditions such as:

Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Goiters (enlarged thyroid glands)
Thyroid nodules
Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid cancer

Dr. Lerner does an advanced thyroid function and adrenal evaluation and looks for causes of fatigue common in both men and women.

Proper treatment may include using T3 or herbal supplements in certain patients. This will often 'wake up' a sluggish mind and body. It may even help with weight loss that has plateaued.
