🧪 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.

🫀 Did you know a low-functioning thyroid can be a cause of high cholesterol?

Your thyroid produces hormones that play a critical role in how cholesterol is made and how excess cholesterol is removed from your body. When the thyroid is underactive or not functioning optimally, your body may struggle to break down and eliminate cholesterol — especially LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

Cholesterol isn’t the enemy. In fact, your body needs it to:
• Build healthy cell membranes
• Support digestion
• Produce hormones
• Help make vitamin D

The issue arises when LDL cholesterol becomes too high, especially when it’s small and sticky. This type of LDL can lodge into arterial walls, contributing to plaque buildup and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

💡 Do these symptoms sound familiar?

Hashimoto’s can show up in a variety of ways, especially in women who are juggling work, family, and daily life:

✨ Persistent fatigue or sluggishness
✨ Difficulty losing weight or weight gain
✨ Brain fog or trouble concentrating
✨ Feeling cold
✨ Hair loss, dry skin
✨ Joint pain or digestive issues
✨ Mood shifts like irritability or anxiety

These aren’t “just getting older” — they could be your immune system affecting your thyroid.

🌿 Have you been feeling tired, struggling with weight, or dealing with persistent brain fog?

Sometimes these symptoms aren’t just “stress” — they can be signs of Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid, leading to low thyroid function over time.

In Hashimoto’s, the body’s immune response causes inflammation that slows thyroid hormones — hormones responsible for energy, metabolism, mood, digestion, and more.

In the new year are you working towards optimal health? Are you considering adding in supplements? Things that you should know when deciding on supplements:

Supplement use has become very common — but not all supplements are created equal, and taking them wisely matters. Before you dive in, here are a few key considerations to protect your health and support your wellness goals:

✨ Ask the right questions: How will this help me? Is there research to support it? Do I need labs before or after starting it? What’s the right dose and timing? Could it interact with medications or food?

✨ Understand safety: Unlike medications, supplements don’t require FDA pre-approval. This means quality varies widely — choose reputable brands and check for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and third-party testing like NSF International, USP, or ConsumerLab to ensure purity and potency.

✨ Start with real food and personalized guidance: Supplements can be helpful — but they aren’t a replacement for a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet. Talking with your clinician helps ensure what you take is actually beneficial for you.

🔍 When Thyroid Symptoms Don’t Match the Lab Results

Many men are told their thyroid is “normal” based on a single test — yet they still struggle with energy, mood, or weight. Functional medicine takes a deeper look by evaluating how the thyroid is actually functioning in the body.

A comprehensive approach may explore:
✔ Thyroid hormone conversion (T4 → T3)
✔ Chronic stress and cortisol levels
✔ Inflammation and immune system involvement
✔ Nutrient status (iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin D)
✔ Environmental toxins that disrupt hormones

Because the thyroid influences metabolism, muscle strength, mental clarity, and overall vitality, addressing root causes — not just numbers — can make a meaningful difference in long-term health.

🧔 Thyroid Issues Aren’t Just a “Women’s Health” Problem

Thyroid dysfunction affects men too — but it often goes undiagnosed because symptoms can look different and are frequently mistaken for stress, aging, or low testosterone.

In men, low thyroid function may show up as:
• Persistent fatigue or low motivation
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Low mood or depression
• Brain fog or poor concentration
• Decreased libido
• Muscle weakness or joint pain

Functional medicine looks beyond assumptions and asks why symptoms are happening. By evaluating the thyroid more thoroughly — not just TSH — we can uncover patterns that standard testing may miss.
