Thyroid Shorts – Episode 5: Why Your Normal Thyroid Labs Don’t Tell The Full Story!
Show: Thyroid Answers Podcast
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.
