Did you know that to really understand how well your thyroid is functioning, you need to run an entire thyroid panel? This includes TSH, Free T4, Free T3, anti-TPO, thyroglobulin antibodies, and Reverse T3. However, most conventional medical practitioners, only test one thyroid lab marker, TSH. TSH alone doesn’t provide a complete picture of what is happening with your thyroid.
So, if you’ve been feeling off and suspect it’s your thyroid I just want to let you know that you are not alone.
I see you and I hear you!
The thing is, many people go years before being diagnosed with a thyroid condition because their TSH shows up as being within “normal range”. This means you’re left with years of feeling like crap more days than not. Not being able to be there for your family and friends like you want to be. But, having your TSH levels in range, isn’t what is needed for OPTIMAL thyroid health.
This is where comprehensive thyroid lab testing comes into play.
Finding out your levels and your thyroid type can be a big game changer for you.
LET’S GET YOUR THYROID BACK IN BALANCE!
Here Are 3 Tools to Help You Get Started with Healing your Thyroid:
1. Support Your Nervous System
The essential first step in balancing any of your hormones is by supporting your nervous system. Once your body is able to get into a state of calm and peace, it is much easier for it to focus on supporting detoxification pathways and balancing your hormones.
I always encourage my clients to carve out at least 30 minutes daily for self-care. This can look like meditating, journaling, reading, affirmations, or even sitting down to actually eat a meal.
One of my favorite supplements to help support your nervous system is Natural Calm. Great to take a few hours before bedtime to ensure a good night’s rest.
No matter what you decide, make it a part of your daily routine and truly sink into the moment!
2. Learn About Your Thyroid Type
Did you know that there are various forms of hypothyroidism? Just another reason why I like running full thyroid panels. To learn more about the different thyroid types, check out our post here!
3. Testing, testing, testing…
It might sound basic, but until you have a full picture of your thyroid profile, you’re groping around in the dark about your well-being.
Thyroid hormones are used by every single one of your cells. They control the rate at which your cells function. Without optimal levels, fatigue, brain fog, thinning hair, and weight gain will continue to be common occurrences. Therefore, it is essential for thyroid hormones T4 and T3, to be in proper balance.
