Thyroid dysfunction can explain a wide variety of symptoms because of the central role of thyroid hormones in directing the metabolic activity of cells.
Essential Thyroid Profile
This is an at-home blood spot test (finger prick).
The Essential Thyroid Profile provides an assessment of thyroid health, including screening for hypo or hyperthyroidism, determining Free T4 and Free T3 levels, testing for autoimmune thyroid disease, and monitoring thyroid replacement dosages.
The thyroid gland is a metabolism hormone-producing gland in the lower part of the neck, below Adam's apple. It has two lobes attached by a middle part called the isthmus and is located in front of the trachea. The thyroid produces essential hormones required by the body that help regulate metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. Thyroid hormones are also necessary for children to grow and develop.
The lab is shipped to your home. The lab comes with a prepaid return lable and collection instructions.
*This is for the Essential Thyroid Profile Test ONLY! A consultation is an additonal add-on service.
