Functional Medicine Doctor in Westport, CT
If you’re an active, health-conscious adult in Westport who still feels off despite “normal” labs — you’re not imagining it. As a board-certified endocrinologist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I help Westport patients find the real reason behind persistent fatigue, stubborn weight, thyroid symptoms, and hormone imbalances that conventional medicine has missed.
My practice, Restore Health LLC, is located in Fairfield, CT — just 10 minutes east of Westport on I-95 or Route 1. I founded it specifically to offer the kind of unhurried, root-cause care that Westport patients deserve and rarely find.
My Fairfield office is a short 10–15 minute drive from Westport center — easily accessible from Saugatuck, Greens Farms, and Compo Beach via I-95 or Route 1. Unlike many functional medicine practitioners in the Westport area, I’m a board-certified endocrinologist — bringing 20+ years of clinical precision to every consultation.
Why Westport Patients Come to Me
Westport attracts people who take their health seriously. You exercise. You eat well. You’re proactive. But when your thyroid levels come back “within range” and your doctor says everything looks fine — yet you’re exhausted, gaining weight, or losing hair — that answer isn’t good enough.
I trained at Mount Sinai and completed my endocrinology fellowship at Montefiore/Albert Einstein under Dr. Norman Fleischer — one of the preeminent endocrinologists in the country — and Dr. Martin Surks, a world-renowned thyroid expert. That foundation gives me a precision most functional medicine providers simply don’t have.
What I look at that others miss:
- Thyroid function beyond TSH — Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis — the autoimmune root cause behind most hypothyroidism
- Mitochondrial function and energy production — investigating cellular-level disruptions that explain fatigue conventional labs never catch
- Gut microbiome assessment when digestive, immune, or metabolic patterns suggest an underlying connection
- Toxicology and environmental exposure testing — heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, and other factors that silently drive hormone dysfunction
- Hormone optimization — testosterone, estrogen, and the full picture
- Insulin resistance and cardiometabolic markers that predict problems years before diagnosis
Root-Cause Thyroid Care for Westport Patients
Thyroid disorders are among the most under-diagnosed and under-treated conditions in active adults. You can run 5 miles a week and still have Hashimoto’s quietly destroying your thyroid tissue. Standard labs catch it late — if at all.
At Restore Health LLC, your initial consultation is 90 minutes. I review your full history, your prior labs, your lifestyle, and your symptoms — not just your TSH. Then we build a plan that actually addresses what’s driving your symptoms.
Common reasons Westport patients book with me:
- Diagnosed with hypothyroidism but still feel unwell on levothyroxine
- Told labs are normal but symptoms say otherwise
- Suspected Hashimoto’s with no clear guidance from current doctor
- Unexplained fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or hair loss
- Seeking a second opinion from a specialist — not a telehealth generalist
Board-Certified Endocrinology. Not a Telehealth Shortcut.
There’s no shortage of online hormone clinics and functional medicine apps promising quick answers. I’m not that. I’m a physician who has spent two decades doing this work in person, with real patients, in a real clinical setting.
Restore Health LLC is cash-pay and concierge. No insurance means no 10-minute appointments, no rushed diagnoses, and no treatment plans driven by what a payer will cover. You get my full attention — and a level of thoroughness that’s rare in today’s healthcare landscape.
For Westport patients who want follow-up flexibility, I offer HIPAA-compliant telemedicine after your initial in-office visit.
