This test is for you if you are struggling with any of the following symptoms:

  • lethargy

Once diagnosed, thyroid conditions can be treated but even then it is important to continue to monitor levels of thyroid hormones to ensure that your levels remain optimal.

By checking your thyroid hormones, thyroid antibodies and important vitamins and minerals, you can investigate whether your symptoms are caused by an overactive or underactive thyroid, an autoimmune condition or something else, like low levels of vitamins and minerals.

Biomarkers

TSH- thyroid stimulating hormone. Good thyroid function is needed for fertility and many women don’t realise it. It can also affect sperm production in men.

Free T3 – Triiodothyronine (T3) is the more active of the two thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland.  Free T3 measures the level of T3 that is free, or unbound to protein, and is available to regulate metabolism.

Free thyroxine– Thyroxine (T4) is one of two hormones produced by the thyroid gland. It works to speed up the rate of your metabolism.

Thyroglobulin antibodies – This test looks for antibodies to thyroglobulin, a protein which is specific to the thyroid gland.

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies – This test looks for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase which indicates that the body’s immune system is attacking the thyroid gland and impairing its function.

hs – CRP – C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker used to assess whether there is inflammation in the body – it does not identify where the inflammation is located.

Ferritin – Ferritin is a protein which stores iron in your cells and tissues.

Folate – serum. – Folate is a B vitamin which acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids.

Vitamin B12 – active – Vitamin B12 is important for production of red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body.

Vitamin D – Vitamin D is essential for bone strength as it helps your intestines absorb calcium. However, it is thought that vitamin D also plays an important role in immune function, as well as in many chronic diseases and mental health.
