What happens when your thyroid hormones are within range but your testing positive for thyroid antibodies?
A great question and a confusing result indeed. Here’s the breakdown of what that means.
Unfortunately, it’s not common practice for doctors to test for antibodies. And usually they won’t prescribe anything for antibodies unless your thyroid hormones are dysfunctional, then they might start you on thyroxine or similar.
This is because there isn’t much that they can do for high antibodies. They may even say to you “nothing can be done” and imply there is no way for you to reverse this autoimmune attack on your thyroid.
But that is just not true. Herbs, nutrients and working on autoimmunity via gut health and key areas of focus in naturopathic work. Time and time again, we see thyroid health improved and thyroid antibodies reduced.
It’s not too late!
