You need more than just a TSH blood test to understand thyroid function! If your thyroid gland is out of balance, you will literally feel it in every cell of your body because thyroid hormone affects metabolism and governs how efficiently you burn (or don't burn!) energy. Just having a TSH done and none of the other tests won't give you all the info you need to understand how to make your thyroid run as best it can. Be sure to ask for a complete panel of thyroid tests including: TSH Free T3 Free T4 Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Watch the video to understand your own thyroid labs! - - - - - - - Disclaimer: Dr. Jason Barker received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2001.
