The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located near the throat. Although the organ itself is small, it has a significant impact on overall health. The thyroid produces countless hormones that affect nearly every tissue in the body. When functioning properly, it helps regulate everything from metabolism to sexual function. The Thyroid TSH Test looks at thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone), a hormone that stimulates the thyroid into producing more of the important hormones needed to live a healthy life. If your levels of TSH are elevated or subdued, it may indicate that your thyroid is not functioning optimally.

If you've not been feeling like yourself, a thyroid issue could be at the root cause. Thyroid issues can be hard to notice and even harder to pinpoint. As a regulator of hormones, a thyroid imbalance can cause weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, and muscle weakness. The Thyroid TSH Test offers a rare view into this often overlooked but important part of the body.
The Thyroid Health Test checks thyroid stimulating hormone, which can indicate the relative health of your thyroid. The results can empower you to find ways to better support your thyroid, which in turn can help with hormone rebalancing.
TSH or Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine, and then triiodothyronine which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
TSH or Thyroid-stimulating hormone is made in a gland in the brain called the pituitary. When thyroid levels in your body are low, the pituitary gland makes more TSH. When thyroid levels are high, the pituitary gland makes less TSH. TSH levels that are too high or too low can indicate your thyroid isn't working correctly.
The Thyroid TSH test uses the relationship between TSH and the thyroid to assess overall thyroid health. The results can help you find ways to boost thyroid function to support metabolism, energy levels, and body temperature.

After reviewing the results with my integrative health practitioner, Briana. I was amazed at just how accurate the test was. I understand why I was having the symptoms I was having. This test is a must if you feel you are not functioning at your optimal level.

This changed everything. My coach was AMAZING and caring. I am so grateful I did this that the protocols and supplements he assigned to me has made a world of difference. I wish I did this sooner, but so thankful I did.
