Q&A with

Nicole Shin, WHNP-BC

Why I am passionate about treating patients with hypothyroidism.

I’m passionate about treating hypothyroidism because I’ve seen how deeply it can affect every aspect of a person’s well-being—from energy levels and mood to confidence and daily functioning. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach that starts with truly listening. My goal is to uncover the root causes and create personalized treatment plans that reflect each individual’s unique needs. It’s incredibly rewarding to help patients feel like themselves again—balanced, clear, and in control of their health.

My approach to treating hypothyroidism is...

Holistic, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based care. I take the time to understand the full picture—symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and lab results. I don’t treat numbers alone; I prioritize how a patient actually feels.
Treatment plans may include thyroid hormone replacement therapy, nutritional and lifestyle support, and consistent follow-up to ensure we’re making progress. Education is a big part of my approach—I want every patient to feel informed, empowered, and actively involved in their care. Ultimately, my goal is to help patients thrive—not just land in the normal lab range, but feel genuinely well in their everyday lives.
