Life's challenges, stress, age, diet, illness, genetics, a busy lifestyle, all these things affect our thyroid and our body's ability to function at an optimal level.

Traditional testing for thyroid health relied soley upon TSH levels, but recent research shows that a more comprehensive look at thyroid levels is needed to adequately understand and treat changes in thyroid hormone levels. Looking at T3, rT3, Free T3,T4, and TSH levels presents a more complete picture of thyroid hormone health, and allows even subtle changes in treatment that can make big changes in how we feel overall.
