Thyroid

Thyroid disorders affect 20 million Americans, with women being 8 times more likely to develop thyroid problems. This comprehensive panel goes beyond basic TSH testing to evaluate complete thyroid function and autoimmunity. Essential for anyone experiencing unexplained weight changes, fatigue, hair loss, temperature sensitivity, brain fog, or mood changes. Many people suffer for years with undiagnosed thyroid issues because basic screenings miss subclinical dysfunction and autoimmune conditions.

Overview:

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), produced by the pituitary gland, regulates thyroid hormone production. High TSH suggests hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), while low TSH suggests hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). While standard ranges are broad (e.g., ~0.4-4.5 mIU/L), many longevity and functional medicine experts advocate for a narrower optimal range for better overall well-being, even in the absence of overt disease. Note: In elderly individuals (e.g., >70-80 years old), TSH may naturally be slightly higher (e.g., up to 5-7 mIU/L) without necessarily indicating pathology or requiring treatment.
