Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)

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.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)

This test checks for elevated antibodies created against thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme that helps produce hormones. Therefore, if antibodies are detected with this test, it can indicate thyroid-related autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto’s. Comparing this test with abnormal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone may indicate Graves’ disease.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

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).

Thyroxine (T4) Free

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.

Triiodothyronine (T3) Free

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

Iodine levels give insight into thyroid health. The thyroid gland absorbs iodine to produce T4 and T3 hormones, to prevent goiters and help the body make protein and use oxygen. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.

Selenium

Selenium looks into the health of the liver, thyroid hormones, and kidneys. Selenium is a trace mineral found in soil that helps the body produce the antioxidant glutathione, which alleviates oxidative stress. It also stimulates thyroid hormones that aid in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain and bone health, and muscle control. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
