Thyroid Panel Test

Thyroid Panel Test

Thyroid Check

14% of Australian women have a thyroid disorder – 4% of these are undiagnosed.  

Do you suffer with Low Energy, Depression, Unexplained Weight Gain or Poor Sleep?  Do you have a family history of Thyroid disease?

You may have sub-clinical or undiagnosed Thyroid function issues.  

Progesterone protects our Thyroid function, and therefore plays a key role in metabolism and energy.  At the same time, too much estrogen will impair the function of our thyroid, so you can see how hormonal imbalances or in particular Peri-menopause and Menopause are vulnerable times for developing a thyroid condition/impaired function. 

This is a full Thyroid Hormone check, including TSH, FT3, FT4, RT3 & Thyroid Antibodies.  Many of us have been told that our Thyroid has been checked, but only TSH is commonly tested which is the tip of the ice-burg when assessing thyroid function.

I will assess the ratio of these Thyroid hormones, (not just if they fall within the ranges) as well as a Thyroid blocking hormone which is rarely tested, but commonly high, so even when your thyroid gland is making adequate thyroid hormone it can be blocked at the cellular level which is why you are experiencing symptoms.

Next, we assess your Thyroid antibodies.  This is to check and see if your immune system is attacking your Thyroid Gland, an auto-immune condition which can lead to hypothyroidism.

You will receive your results with Ilenes’ expert functional interpretation and if needed, dietary and lifestyle recommendations and a suggested natural medicine prescription to support your Thyroid function.

NOTE:  You will receive an emailed pathology request to take into your local pathology testing approved provider (this test requires providing a blood draw sample and therefore cannot be done at home).
