The Functional Medicine approach gets you on the road to healing— faster.*

Most doctors only ask if your thyroid is high or low. This is a problem because the thyroid is not that simple. In Functional Medicine, we understand there are many elements that must work well in order for you to have good thyroid health.

Dr. Carpenter's 9-step process identifies the root cause of your thyroid issues.

Is your brain talking to your thyroid telling it to make the appropriate amount of thyroid? 

Is your thyroid able to make the T4 hormone?

Once the inactive T4 is made, can your body convert it into the active T3 hormone?

Is the hormone being delivered to the cells to do its job?

Do you have enough nutrition required for a healthy thyroid, like selenium, manganese, zinc, iron, Vitamin A, or the amino acid tyrosine?

Is fluoride and chlorine exposure impairing your thyroid hormone production?

Is your gut and liver health affecting your thyroid hormone production? 

Are other factors like chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, or blood sugar problems  affecting your thyroid function?

Find the root cause and start feeling better today.*

What makes Dr. Carpenter so different?

A message from Dr. Carpenter

I believe that finding the root causes of health problems is the key to true healing. And I also know how challenging it can be to find guidance and answers when it comes to health challenges. 

But my approach is different.

When we work together, we're not looking for a quick-fix solution or a way to simply cover up the symptoms.

Instead, I help you uncover the deeper reasons you may be experiencing health issues, and we find the most effective, most natural, and most permanent options for your health.

And when you take this holistic, integrated approach to health, some really great things happen. You start feeling better. Best of all, you get to go back to living the life you love without worrying about your health. 

Shall we get started?

Dr Carpenter is the founder of The Healthy Human in Chattanooga, TN.

As a Functional Medicine practitioner with over a decade of experience, she knows there is a better way to address thyroid problems than conventional medical treatments offered by most doctors. She's helped thousands of patients reverse chronic health conditions, including thyroid problems— using natural and non-invasive methods.

  • INSTITUTE OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AFMCP (APPLYING FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE)
  • PROFESSIONAL APPLIED KINESIOLOGIST (PAK)

She is a caring doctor who truly desires to treat the whole person.

Finding Dr. Carpenter was truly an answer to prayer. I had seen multiple doctors for various issues from IBS-like problems to a chronic bladder infection-like feeling and no one could ever give me a reason for them or figure out how to get rid of them. I was suffering from fatigue in a way that even after getting a good night's sleep I would wake up wishing it was time for bed again. I also started gaining weight for no apparent reason.

Since seeing her my fatigue has gone away, I lost weight, my bladder infection-like feeling has gone away and I no longer have IBS issues... I take no drugs or harmful medications to get my Hashimoto's under control. I feel better than I have in years.

I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter. She is a caring doctor who truly desires to treat the whole person. She is passionate about what she does and has extensive experience and education in understanding the body and finding the core reason for someone's issues.

I have actually never met a more personable doctor...

I have actually never met a more personable doctor than Dr. Carpenter... This place really seems to care about solving (rather than Bandaid) your health issues.) Huge plus.

I've finally found someone who truly cares about my health...

I'm a believer! I can honestly say that I've finally found someone who truly cares about my health and well-being. For almost 7 years, I'd met with a variety of doctors for a host of seemingly unrelated health issues. Not one doctor/specialist ever spent the time to really talk to me and dig into my history like Dr. Carpenter did. Armed with LOTS of information, Dr. Carpenter set forth a plan of action to get me back to good health. Her plan did NOT include lots of prescriptions or unnecessary surgery. Her holistic approach makes perfect sense to me. I feel like I've been let down by the traditional medical community compared to the care and healing that I've received from Dr. Carpenter. My current good health is all the confirmation I need. Dr. Carpenter is an amazing doctor.

I'm thankful that I found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to my family and friends!

Her concern and approach are both refreshing and reassuring.

Dr. Avery has taken care of my family for about 5 years now. I cannot say enough about how professional and intelligent she is. Dr. Avery truly possesses a deep knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Her concern and approach are both refreshing and reassuring - I feel and function so much better!
