Hashimoto's - Northern Beaches & Online
Finally, a Naturopath Who Understands
Exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, and told everything looks "normal"? I'm Debbie Kaczor, naturopath and Certified Thyroid Practitioner. Your Hashimoto's deserves more than a TSH test. Let's find out what's actually going on.
You're doing everything right - and still feeling terrible.
Hashimoto's is the most common cause of an underactive thyroid, and it's frequently missed or under-treated in conventional care.
Your TSH came back "normal," so you were sent home with no answers. Meanwhile you're exhausted by 2pm, your hair is coming out in the shower, the brain fog makes it hard to think straight, and nothing shifts no matter how clean you eat.

I walk you through what your results actually mean and give you a clear, practical plan - specific to you.
What I actually test
A standard TSH tells you almost nothing about how your thyroid is actually functioning - it only measures the signal being sent to your thyroid, not what your thyroid is actually doing in response. That’s why I run a comprehensive panel that gives us the full picture from the start.
This includes TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 (the active and storage forms of thyroid hormone), and Reverse T3 (which can block thyroid function even when other markers look normal). I also test for thyroid antibodies (TPO and TgAb) because Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition, and knowing whether antibodies are elevated helps us understand how active the immune attack is and track whether it’s responding to treatment.
On top of the thyroid markers, I test iodine (essential for thyroid hormone production but harmful in excess with Hashimoto’s), iron and ferritin (low iron is one of the most common reasons people still feel exhausted despite being on thyroid medication), and vitamin D (a key immune regulator that is almost always low in autoimmune conditions).
Having all of this data upfront means we’re not guessing or treating symptoms in isolation - we can see exactly where the deficiencies and imbalances are, and build a plan that actually addresses the root causes rather than chasing individual symptoms one at a time.

Meet Your Naturopath
I'm Debbie Kaczor - naturopath, Certified Thyroid Practitioner, and someone who believes Hashimoto's deserves a lot more than a TSH test and a referral to "come back in six months."
I've spent years working specifically with people navigating thyroid dysfunction - including Hashimoto's, poor T4 to T3 conversion, and the grey zone where your results look "fine" but you definitely don't feel it.
My approach is built on one thing your standard appointment usually doesn't have: time. Time to go through your full history, your symptoms, your existing results - and actually look at what's going on, not just what falls outside a lab reference range.
I use optimal health ranges to interpret pathology, which means I'm looking at where your markers sit for function and vitality - not just where disease begins. It's a different lens. And for most of my Hashimoto's clients, it changes everything.
I hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy and am a Level One and Level Two Certified Thyroid Practitioner. I'm also an NHAA member and see clients in person at Frenchs Forest on Sydney's Northern Beaches, and online across Australia.
I'm not here to replace your GP or your endocrinologist. I'm here to fill the gap they don't have time to fill, and to give you a clear picture of what your body is actually doing.

Common questions
-
No referral needed - you can book directly online. If you have existing blood results from your GP, bring those along and I will include them in your review.
-
Absolutely. Naturopathic support works alongside your existing medical care, not instead of it. Many clients come to me while continuing to work with their GP or specialist - the two approaches complement each other well.
-
That's fine. I can work with what you have, and if further testing would be useful, I will let you know exactly what to ask for and how to get it organised.
-
Some private health funds do cover naturopathy — it depends on your level of cover and your fund. It's worth checking directly with your insurer before your appointment.
-
It varies depending on how long symptoms have been present and how your body responds. Most clients start to notice shifts within 6 to 12 weeks of following their plan consistently - I will give you a realistic picture at your first consultation.
