Thyroid Testing

I offer private thyroid testing to assess thyroid function in detail and identify factors that may be affecting energy, mood, weight, and metabolic health.

What Is a Thyroid Function Test?

A thyroid function test assesses how well the thyroid gland is working. The thyroid plays a central role in metabolism and influences energy levels, body temperature, mood, weight regulation, cholesterol, and hormone balance.

Standard thyroid testing available through a GP is often limited and may not provide enough information to fully understand thyroid-related symptoms.

A full thyroid panel looks beyond basic markers to give a more complete picture of thyroid hormone activity and immune involvement.

Why Thyroid Function Testing Is Important

When thyroid function is disrupted, symptoms can be wide-ranging and not always immediately linked to the thyroid.

Many people continue to experience symptoms even when basic test results are reported as being within range.

Private thyroid testing allows for a more detailed assessment of thyroid hormones, their conversion and use by the body, and whether immune or nutritional factors may be contributing.

This supports clearer decision-making and more targeted nutrition and supplement support.

What Does This Thyroid Function Test Assess?

This thyroid testing panel includes:

  • TSH

  • Total T4

  • Free T4

  • Free T3

  • Reverse T3

  • Thyroid antibodies

In addition to hormone markers, the test also assesses key nutrients essential for optimal thyroid function, including:

  • Selenium

  • Iodine

  • Zinc

These nutrients play an important role in thyroid hormone production and conversion and can influence overall thyroid performance.

Symptoms and Concerns Commonly Linked to Thyroid Imbalance

Thyroid testing may be helpful if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent fatigue or low energy

  • Unexplained weight changes

  • Mood changes

  • Cold sensitivity

  • Hair thinning or skin changes

  • Cholesterol concerns

  • Hormonal symptoms, including menstrual or menopausal changes

This testing helps build a clearer picture of how thyroid function may be influencing wider health patterns.

How the Test Works

This private thyroid test uses a blood sample collected through an approved collection method and sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Sample type: Blood

Clear instructions are provided, and results are reviewed in detail so they can be used to inform personalised nutrition and supplement support.
