Blood test TSH

In short

  • TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) controls how your thyroid works.
  • blood test TSH checks if your thyroid is underactive or overactive.
  • High TSH usually suggests low thyroid activity (hypothyroidism).
  • Low TSH can point to overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
  • The standard fix includes thyroid medication—but that often ignores the root cause.

Check thyroid at home

In short

  • Home thyroid checks can assess hormone levels linked to metabolism, weight gain/loss, constipation, palpitations, hair loss, chronic fatigue, brain fog and poor sleep.
  • The thyroid influences everything from mood to weight to menstrual cycles.
  • When the thyroid underperforms or overworks, you may feel tired, gain weight, or feel anxious.
  • At-home functional lab testing offers a simple, effective way to check thyroid function.

Symptoms of underactive thyroid

In short

  • Fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold are common symptoms.
  • An underactive thyroid slows down many bodily processes.
  • When left unmanaged, it can lead to ongoing health complications.
  • Addressing the root cause and supporting thyroid health can restore balance.

Thyroid health

In short

  • The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that regulates your metabolism, energy, and hormones.
  • When it’s underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), it can cause a wide range of issues.
  • Symptoms vary but often include fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, and hair loss.
  • A combination of advanced lab testing, nutritional support, and personalised guidance can help restore thyroid balance.

Underactive thyroid symptoms in females

In short

  • An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones.
  • It can lead to fatigue, weight gain, depression, cold sensitivity, and irregular periods in females.
  • Symptoms often develop slowly and can be mistaken for other health issues.
  • Blood tests and thyroid hormone replacement are standard in managing the condition.
