Ageing affects our energy levels. Stress, sedentary lifestyles, poor diet and environmental toxins further escalate this decline. Thyroid dysfunction can negatively affect the kidney, heart, skeletal muscle, neurological, and hormone-producing tissues in our bodies.
Over 70% of thyroid hormones are stored in muscle, skin and gut tissue, but DID YOU KNOW that only approximately 18% circulate in the bloodstream?
Consequently, the reliability of blood tests, especially those testing TSH levels, to accurately diagnose hypothyroidism is limited. Many doctors report “normal” TSH levels, yet patients still suffer with classic hypothyroidism symptoms. GPs often require objective evidence before offering treatment.
Unlike the blood test, Thyroflex tests the end artefact of the thyroid function (FT3). It measures neurotransmitter speed (brain function), reflex speed and resting metabolic rate (RMR). It also takes into consideration stress and sleep hormones, iodine and CoQ10 levels.
Research shows that a large percentage of the population has some level of thyroid dysfunction; therefore a thyroid function screening test is very important for everyone. Standard thyroid blood tests are a good tool to establish baseline thyroid function, but can often be misleading in cases of ongoing treatment of patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism.
