🧪 When it comes to thyroid health, one lab doesn’t tell the full story.
Most people are screened for thyroid function using TSH alone, but that only shows the signal from the brain — not how well your thyroid is actually producing or converting hormones.
To truly understand thyroid function, additional labs matter:
• Free T4 – the main hormone made by the thyroid
• Free T3 – the active hormone every cell responds to
• Thyroid antibodies – markers that indicate whether the immune system is attacking the thyroid
If thyroid antibodies are present, it means the immune system may be damaging thyroid tissue — which can impact hormone production and cholesterol metabolism.
Because low thyroid function can affect cholesterol and cause symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and brain fog, knowing your full thyroid picture is key to protecting both your heart and overall health.
