FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

What are the early signs of thyroid dysfunction?

Common early signs include unexplained fatigue, weight changes, temperature sensitivity, hair loss, and mood changes. CoreMed Plus recommends prompt blood testing if you notice these symptoms.

What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?

Hypothyroidism means too little thyroid hormone (slow metabolism), while hyperthyroidism means too much (fast metabolism). CoreMed Plus accurately diagnoses and treats both.

How is thyroid dysfunction diagnosed?

Diagnosis is primarily through blood tests measuring TSH, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies. Ultrasound may be used for nodules. CoreMed Plus performs convenient in-office testing.

Can thyroid dysfunction be cured?

Many cases, especially autoimmune types, are managed long-term rather than cured. However, symptoms can be very well controlled with proper treatment at CoreMed Plus.

What foods should I eat or avoid with thyroid problems?

Focus on selenium-rich foods (Brazil nuts, fish), avoid excessive goitrogens (raw cruciferous vegetables) if you have hypothyroidism. CoreMed Plus provides personalized dietary guidance.

Is levothyroxine the only treatment for hypothyroidism?

Levothyroxine is the standard and highly effective treatment. CoreMed Plus carefully adjusts doses based on regular lab monitoring.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
