THYROID ASSESSMENT
One of the most common hormone disorders, thyroid dysfunction can elicit a wide
variety of symptoms including fatigue, depression, coldness, cognitive dysfunction,
weight gain, poor sleep, menstrual abnormalities, decreased memory and altered
sex drive to list a few.
Various serum blood tests are available to analyze thyroid hormone secretion and
metabolism, including central (brain) thyroid regulation, peripheral conversion
and thyroid autoimmunity. For a more general understanding of thyroid metabolism,
basal body temperature readings may also be used.
