This test checks for antibodies created against thyroglobulin, a protein produced and used by the thyroid gland to make T3 and T4 hormones, which control metabolism and tissue/cell growth. If present, it may indicate thyroid-related autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto’s.

TPO antibodies target thyroid enzymes and are associated with autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.

About 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men have hypothyroidism, and a TSH test can help reveal thyroid issues. Looking at abnormal TSH results alongside thyroid peroxidase (TPO) may be a sign of Graves’ disease. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and controls the release of thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).

This test is typically cross-referenced with TSH and T3 to gain insight into overall thyroid function. Thyroxine, or T4, is produced in the thyroid then released into the bloodstream where it travels to the liver and kidneys. It is converted into the hormone triiodothyronine (T3). The synergy of T4 and T3 is important for heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health, and muscle control.

T3 levels can reveal an overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s) thyroid. T3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone in the body. It helps regulate body temperature, control heart rate, lower cholesterol, improve memory, promote regrowth after hair loss, soothe muscle aches, regulate bowel movements, and support fertility.

Iodine is a key element required for thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolism and energy. Testing helps identify deficiencies that may lead to thyroid dysfunction or metabolic imbalances. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.

TSI are antibodies that overstimulate the thyroid gland commonly linked to autoimmune hyperthyroidism such as Graves' disease. Testing helps confirm thyroid overactivity and guide treatment strategies. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.

‍

TRAb are antibodies that interfere with thyroid regulation contributing to conditions like Graves' disease and other autoimmune thyroid disorders. Measuring TRAb aids in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.

TBG is a protein that binds and transports thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) through the bloodstream ensuring their delivery to tissues. Testing TBG levels can help identify issues such as overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones as well as conditions influenced by hormonal imbalances liver dysfunction or certain medications. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that supports thyroid function, immune health, and cellular protection from oxidative stress. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
