Hi, I’m Robin
I’m Robin Urekar, a Naturopathic Doctor with a passion for all things thyroid. I love working with women with thyroid conditions to help them achieve their best health. Together, we focus on improving energy, nutrition, optimizing sleep, and managing stress to get you back to feeling like the best version of yourself.
I too have suffered with an undiagnosed thyroid condition for what I estimate was 10 years. My diagnosis was life-changing for me, it was the answer I had been seeking for years. It confirmed that my symptoms weren’t all in my head, that not everyone was feeling as awful as I did all the time, and that there was hope I could someday return to feeling the way I remembered was possible.
While a diagnosis changed my life and desiccated thyroid helped bring me back from my depletion, there was deeper work I had to do to regain my health, energy, weight, mood, hair, and regular cycles.
Since my diagnosis, I’ve focused on learning everything I can about thyroid health and the symptoms and conditions associated with it. With this knowledge and applying the principles of Naturopathic Medicine, my health is now the best it’s ever been.
Over the last 9 years since my diagnosis, I’ve been consistent with prioritizing my health and working on addressing my root causes. With these efforts and consistency, I have been able to normalize my thyroid antibodies and taper off my medication with the supervision and support of my prescribing doctor. I share this personal success to provide you hope that it is possible to resolve your thyroid symptoms and regain your health and life.
It’s now my passion to help other women regain their vitality, take ownership of their thyroid disease, and work together to resolve their symptoms.
The current standard of care is really lacking for thyroid health. For those fortunate to have reached a diagnosis, the options presented are limited to Synthroid or Levothyroxine.
If you want more from your healthcare, if you want to participate in regaining the energy you used to have, let’s work together to get you back to your best self. I can’t wait to get started!
“It’s a privilege to work one-on-one with women, providing guidance and support as they improve their health. Seeing their transformation unfold is the most rewarding part of my job.”
