Discovering Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid disorders are becoming more and more common. Currently, one in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in their lifetimes. Often these disorders get undiagnosed and undertreated, leaving folks with issues such as weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, thinning hair, poor digestion, and more. Dr. Attar runs full thyroid panels on his thyroid patients including free and total T3 and, T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, and nutrients involved in the thyroid such as iodine, selenium, and magnesium. With both pharmaceutical and natural treatments thyroid patients can normalize their symptoms and restore their health. Here’s the nutritional testing Dr. Attar often recommends when he suspects nutritional deficits.
Addressing Digestive Health and Food Sensitivities
Dr. Attar sees many patients with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, acid reflux, Crohn’s, colitis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and more. Dr. Attar will help you normalize your digestion with lab work including stool tests, blood tests, and food sensitivity testing, and through diet and digestive and nutritional supplementation.
Here's a link to a comprehensive GI-effects stool test.

Digestive disorders go hand and hand with autoimmune diseases, so Dr. Attar often explores both of these with patients.
Improving Cardiovascular Health
Dr. Attar takes a deeper approach to cardiovascular health and disease. Most physicians only skim the surface, which results in an incomplete understanding of their cardiovascular disease or health. Here’s the expanded lipid panel he uses to get a more accurate picture of what’s going on now with your cardiovascular system.
