Testing the thyroid must extend beyond basic markers like TSH and T4 because those tests alone do not provide a complete picture of thyroid function or potential problems. A more comprehensive panel is necessary to assess the active hormone Free T3 and the potentially blocking hormone Reverse T3, which directly relate to symptoms like fatigue despite normal TSH levels. Furthermore, expanded testing helps detect autoimmune diseases through antibodies like Anti-TPO, which can appear years before TSH or T4 levels change, allowing for earlier intervention. Finally, this broader approach helps diagnose issues such as the body's inability to convert T4 to T3 or the influence of factors like nutrient deficiencies and hormonal binding issues that affect thyroid hormone utilization.

Applied Kinesiology (AK), a non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic system developed in 1964 by Dr. George Goodheart. AK utilizes manual muscle testing to assess various bodily imbalances, including structural, nutritional, and neurological issues. Practitioners, often chiropractors or osteopaths, gently apply pressure to a patient's limb to evaluate the nervous system's response to stimuli, with a weakened muscle indicating an underlying problem. Over time, AK has expanded beyond its initial scope to incorporate elements from other healing arts, such as acupuncture and cranial techniques, aiming to provide individualized treatment. The International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK) emphasizes AK as the "original system" for its replicable diagnostic and treatment procedures.
