How the thyroid works
The thyroid gland produces hormone that control our metabolic rate. Hypothyroid function or low thyroid is a common condition and its diagnosis is often missed. In this video I explain some of the basics of how the thyroid works and why comprehensive testing is so important.
If you don’t test for it, you won’t find it
We frequently have patients with obvious signs of hypothyroidism tell us that they had had their thyroid tested and the were normal. When they bring us the requested results we see that only one test was performed. We routinely test ten factors of the thyroid and frequently find abnormals other than the usual TSH or T4.
Are you suffering from toxicity?
With the enormous amounts of toxic metal in the environment and widespread nutrient mineral insufficiencies, assessing patients for element imbalances and excesses is increasingly important. By assessing any of three sample sources (hair, blood, or urine) the Elemental Analysis provides a convenient and accurate window for gauging both long and short-term toxic exposure and nutrient deficiencies.
