WELCOME!
Update as of December 2020: At present time, Dr. Wentz has limited availability and is not accepting new clients. If you would like to be notified of any future opportunities, you can sign up for her waiting list here.
In the meantime, we have put together a few resources that may help you in finding a practitioner:
Clinician and Practitioner Database - The list of names in this database represent practitioners who have shown an interest in Dr. Wentz’s Root Cause approach to Hashimoto’s. However, you will still need to be your own advocate in asking the right questions to find someone who will be a good fit for you.
Here are some questions to ask your practitioner to see if they are a good fit for you:
- Do they prescribe hypoallergenic thyroid hormones like Tirosint, compounded thyroid medications, or natural desiccated thyroid medications (NDTs like Armour Thyroid, Nature-Throid, WP Thyroid, NP Thyroid and others)?
- Do they have experience with prescribing low-dose naltrexone (LDN)?
- Do they order a full thyroid panel that includes TSH, Free T4, Free T3, TPO/Tg antibodies, or just the TSH test?
- Do they have accounts with functional medicine lab companies like Ulta Labs, Direct Labs (GI-MAP test for gut infections), My Med Labs (food sensitivity testing), or ZRT Laboratory (Adrenal Stress Profile) so they can help you dig for hidden root causes?
- Can they order food sensitivity tests?
We also recommend searching the Institute of Functional Medicine’s practitioner database, where you can search world-wide for healthcare advocates who are experienced in functional medicine. ZRT Laboratory offers a practitioner database as well.
If you are having trouble locating a practitioner in your area, be sure to ask if they offer virtual appointments as well! Telemedicine allows you to work with a functional doctor remotely, via Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, or other video conferencing applications, so you can work with a practitioner who is a good fit for you, but may not be located in your area.
You may want to check our list of compounding pharmacies, to find a pharmacist who will compound your thyroid medications for you as well.
