Thyroid function has a profound impact on overall health via its modulation
of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, vitamin utilization, mitochondrial
function, digestive process, muscle and nerve activity, blood flow, oxygen
utilization, hormone secretion, sexual and reproductive health, and many other
physiological parameters.
One of the most common hormonal disorders, hypothyroidism has been called the
"great imitator" for the vast number of medical conditions it can mimic. Thyroid
imbalances may elicit fatigue, depression, coldness, constipation, poor skin,
headaches, PMS, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), fluid retention, weight
gain, anxiety/panic attacks, decreased memory and concentration, muscle and
joint pain, and low sex drive.
• Hypersensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• free thyroxine (fT4)
• free triiodothyronine (fT3)
• reverse T3 (rT3)
• anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG)
• anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO)
• fT4/fT3
• fT3/rT3

The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment reveals imbalances that often go
undetected with more limited assessments. Unbound levels of T4 and T3 are
measured to reflect the bioactive portion of thyroid hormone, increasing
clinical insight. This assessment can identify not only overt hyper- and
hypothyroidism, but subtle sub-clinical manifestations of thyroid dysfunction,
such as auto-immune reactions and altered peripheral conversion into T3 leading
to reverse T3 dominance. These metabolic anomalies may trigger chronic symptoms,
and promote the gradual development of degenerative disorders.
The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment can detect metabolic irregularities
arising from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, heavy metal toxicity, chronic
stress, enzyme dysfunction, and aging even when TSH and T4 levels are normal.
Thyroid antibody levels help gauge autoimmune response frequently associated
with antigenic cross-reactivity and gastrointestinal dysfunction, which may
require additional clinical investigation and focused intervention. Thyroid
antibody levels may rise in response to trauma, dysbiosis, inflammation
(including thyroiditis) and progressive thyroid degeneration. At high levels,
antibodies may block thyroid hormones from attaching to cellular receptors,
causing symptoms of hypothyroidism even when thyroid hormone levels are
adequate.
Ensuring healthy thyroid function is a valuable tool in preventive medicine.
Optimal thyroid function may help safeguard against the onset of diabetes,
obesity, heart disease, and depression. Thyroid hormones also play central
metabolic roles in healthy sexual and reproductive function in both women and
men. Because they are essential for IGF-1 production, thyroid hormones
significantly affect lipid metabolism.
What You Should Know
This test may reveal important clinical information about:
- Central thyroid dysregulation indicating primary or secondary
thyroid disease or dysfunction, associated with fatigue, depression, coldness,
hair loss, headaches, PMS, menstrual irregularities, fluid retention,
unexplained weight gain or weight loss, anxiety or panic attacks, decreased
memory or concentration, muscle and joint pain, low libido, and infertility
- Peripheral thyroid imbalances arising from nutrient shortages, heavy
metal exposure, adrenal stress, enzyme deficiencies, and other chronic illness,
which may result in functional hypothyroidism, known variously as euthyroid sick
syndrome (ESS), low T3 syndrome, or Wilson's syndrome
- Thyroid antibody levels, to gauge autoimmune response that can
interfere with thyroid receptor function and promote inflafmmatory diseases like
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, or postpartum thyroiditis
