If your doctor is only testing your TSH… you’re only getting ONE piece of the puzzle.🧩
TSH is not a thyroid hormone.
It’s a brain hormone made by the pituitary gland.
Its job? To tell your thyroid how much thyroid hormone to make.
👉 But here’s the problem:
Testing ONLY TSH tells you what the BRAIN is saying…
not what the THYROID is actually doing.
To get a true picture of your thyroid health, you need a FULL THYROID PANEL, including:
✔️ Free T4
✔️ Free T3
✔️ Thyroglobulin Antibodies
✔️ TPO Antibodies
These markers reveal:
💛 How well your thyroid is converting hormones
💛 If your immune system is attacking your thyroid
💛 Early signs of Hashimoto’s (long before TSH changes)
💛 If you are deficient in thyroid nutrients
✨ Don’t settle for incomplete testing.
Ask your doctor for a full thyroid panel—or find a provider who will actually look at the whole picture.
Because your energy, mood, metabolism, fertility, and overall health depend on it. 💛
Thyroid functional medicine testing is available at Roots Wholistic Health.
