advanced thyroid health

Advanced Thyroid Health

Measuring the 3 key thyroid hormones, thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Also included in this advanced thyroid test is thyroid antibodies. When suffering with an autoimmune disease, thyroid antibodies can attack your thyroid leading to a thyroid disorder.

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, located in the neck. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones (T3 and T4) which play a major role in the body’s metabolism. If too much of these hormones are released into the blood, then the body’s cells work faster than normal causing hyperthyroidism (Also known as an overactive thyroid). Hyperthyroidism can be characterised by low TSH levels. Some of the symptoms of an overactive thyroid include weight loss, fatigue, irritability and difficulty sleeping. An overactive thyroid is much more common in women than it is in men, and usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 40 years.

An underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough T3 and T4. Hypothyroidism causes high levels of TSH in the blood. Underactive thyroid symptoms can include weight gain, hair loss, forgetfulness and low mood.

Poor thyroid function can also be a result of a deficiency or an autoimmune disorder – where the body’s immune system attacks its own cells. Although, it may require medical intervention to restore its function, changes to diet and lifestyle can be beneficial in helping to cope with the condition.

It is advisable not to check thyroid levels during times of illness as thyroid function blood tests may not be accurate during such time. Some medications and pregnancy can also influence your results. Eating before you test can also lower your TSH levels, so although its not compulsory, it is advisable not to eat immediately before.

vitamin b12

Vitamin B12

This check measures the active form of B12 specifically (as opposed to total B12). This is the most accurate way to measure your available level of Vitamin B12 and is the best early indicator of any possible deficiency.

Vitamin B12 (along with folate) plays an essential role in the formation of red blood cells and also has an important role to play in nerve health. The human body does not produce its own Vitamin B12, so it has to be absorbed through diet. 

Low levels of this essential vitamin can leave you feeling tired and weak while prolonged deficiency can also lead to anaemia.
