Exploring the Essential Features of “The Thyroid Optimization Course – Justin Allan”
In collaboration with Justin Groce, NP, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce The Thyroid Optimization Course. This course is the definitive guide for the nurse practitioner on integrating functional thyroid optimization into your practice! The information in this course can be applied to any practice setting, including wellness clinics, weight loss practices, primary care practices, HRT practices, and everything in between. This service niche can benefit many patient demographics, and can be customized according to the clinical specialties of any NP.
Over 20 million people in the United States have some form of hypothyroidism. It is estimated that 60% of those people are unaware that they even have a thyroid condition. Instead, they chalk up their symptoms to the pains of aging, and they may even get misdiagnosed during visits to their primary care provider. For this reason, this is a hidden patient population that could greatly benefit from thyroid optimization therapy. And who is better to treat these individuals than a nurse practitioner?
Integrating thyroid optimization into your practice is a solid service line and supplemental revenue stream. Many patients are actively looking for these services: they are widely talked about on wellness media platforms and are becoming increasingly engrained in cultural conversations about metabolic health. Therefore, if you have a practice where you see patients who are interested in disease prevention, health optimization, and general wellness, then you should seriously consider providing thyroid optimization services in your practice.
You are not just managing standard hypothyroidism when you integrate thyroid optimization into your practice. You are considering a patient’s entire bodily composition from a holistic point of view. Many patients have bothersome symptoms such as depression, insomnia, low libido, erectile dysfunction, cold intolerance, poor skin/hair/nail quality, and foggy thinking, and unknowingly have sub-optimal thyroid levels. Just because the TSH/T3/T4 are below the threshold for diagnosis of standard “hypothyroidism”, doesn’t mean that the patient couldn’t benefit from thyroid optimization. Thyroid optimization often resolves mystery symptoms that don’t have an obvious cause, which can improve patient quality of life and instill trust in their provider! Plus, studies have shown that optimal thyroid levels can prevent a plethora of chronic diseases. Therefore, this is a critically important service to provide in your practice.
These services can be provided in both insurance-accepting and cash-only practices. If you are operating a cash-only practice, you could easily garner an additional $1,000 to $5,000 per month in revenue by simply adding thyroid optimization services to your treatment lines.
This course will teach the nurse practitioner the ins and outs of thyroid optimization from both a clinical and business standpoint. We use functional and integrative medicine philosophies to inform the course material, helping you become a more well-rounded provider. The core values of the Elite Nurse Practitioner Model are baked into this curriculum, providing a blend of scientific and economic guidance.
This course is designed for nurse practitioners with zero experience in thyroid optimization services.

Hi, I’m Justin Allan MSN FNP
I am the owner and author of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, one of the hottest blogs for nurse practitioners who want to break free from the shackles of modern healthcare.
I have been practicing as an NP for 7 years. I have worked all over the country and in many different settings. I became sick of working for others and not earning what I knew what was possible and fair. So, I decided to venture out on my own.
I now own multiple successful side practices and businesses as an NP. My goal is to share the knowledge I have learned and developed to my fellow NP colleagues so you can reach a level of success that very few NPs will ever achieve. It is possible to build profitable practices and businesses as a nurse practitioner! Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise!
