Shannon Garrett, RN, CNN, is an experienced functional and integrative medicine nurse and the creator of Holistic Thyroid Care, where she helps women take a more comprehensive approach to thyroid and overall health.

Shannon earned her nursing degree, magna cum laude, from Aquinas College School of Nursing, in addition to a degree in Human Development from Amridge University. She began her career as a cardiac nurse at St. Thomas Hospital, gaining a strong foundation in chronic health conditions and patient care.

Her passion for a more holistic approach is deeply personal. After years of struggling with severe, undiagnosed thyroid issues, Shannon discovered the transformative impact of looking beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture. That experience inspired her to help other women navigating thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, and related health challenges. Many of her first clients were physicians wives…who were unable to achieve a level of wellbeing through traditional health models.

Today, Shannon works with women to explore the underlying factors affecting their health, taking into consideration medications, supplements, lifestyle, lab work, and other aspects of their individual health history. She collaborates with physicians and other healthcare professionals to support personalized, informed care.

Shannon is passionate about helping women move beyond simply managing symptoms so they can feel like themselves again. Featured as an expert on numerous podcasts, she is dedicated to empowering women with the knowledge, support, and guidance they need to take an active role in their health.
