Thyroid Shorts - Episode 5: Why Your Normal Thyroid Labs Don't Tell The Full Story!


Listen Later

In episode 5 of Thyroid Shorts, I discuss why your "normal" thyroid labs may not tell the full story of how you feel.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • The problem with limiting a thyroid panel to a TSH and fT4
  • Why a TSH value may be misleading.
  • What fT4 doesn't tell you or your doctor.
  • Why labs must be interpreted and not read.
  • All the things that must be considered when interpreting labs.
  • What you can start doing today to start taking control of your thyroid health.
