About Pamela Gordon MD

I help women FEEL HEARD, and use a functional medicine approach to get to the ROOT CAUSE of hormonal symptoms so that they can FEEL LIKE THEMSELVES AGAIN.

In my 20s, I likely struggled with undiagnosed PCOS and hypothyroidism and didn't know it. My periods were irregular, I had excess hair growth, intense carb cravings, erratic energy levels, and was constantly monitoring my weight. It wasn’t until I was 31 that I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease—after my brain fog became so severe that I could barely focus at work. At the time, I was serving in the military and was referred to the on-base psychiatrist, who initially suspected ADHD but wisely decided to check my thyroid function too. A simple TSH test revealed the real issue.

Getting on the right medication helped, but it took years of ongoing energy struggles for me to truly learn how to manage my condition. That journey is what led me to integrative and functional medicine.

Then, in my mid-40s, everything shifted again. My energy and libido plummeted, my joints ached constantly, and even making it to the gym felt like a monumental effort. Although my periods were still happening, they were no longer normal. I took matters into my own hands—completing my own hormone testing, working closely with a trusted gynecologist to start bio-identical hormones, and supporting my adrenal health—and I finally began to feel like myself again, even a younger version of myself.

I often think about how much easier my journey would have been if I had had the right guidance from the beginning. This is why I'm so passionate about helping other women who are walking a similar path—because you don't have to figure it all out alone.
