Most providers will only run a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and a free T4 to see how your thyroid is working, however that is not the whole picture! If you want a good look at your thyroid you want to get a full thyroid panel.

TSH: produced from your pituitary gland and it stimulates your thyroid gland.

Total T4: This is the total amount of T4 that you have

Free T4: this is the amount of T4 that is able to bind to receptors on your cells

Total T3: This is the total amount of the active form of your thyroid hormone.

Free T3: The amount of t3 (your active thyroid hormone) that is able to bind to receptors on your cells

TPO/TG antibodies: these are antibodies that attack your thyroid and affect how your thyroid works/how the hormones are produced.

Reverse T3: This isn’t always necessary to run, but it will tell you how stressed out your thyroid/body is. This is an inactive form of T3-think of it like your storage bank!

A FIT test is an absolute game changer when trying to work on your gut health. It takes the fuel off the fire and will decrease the inflammation in your body. We recommend doing a FIT test annually!

Getting your vitamin D levels tested is very important because it is fat soluble. This means that any excess stays in your body. Too high of Vitamin D can throw off other minerals in your body.
