Why Retesting Your Thyroid is Essential for Your Health

If you have been stable, and on treatment, for quite some time, it is always in the best interest of your health to test. Retesting is just as important, though!

At least once a year, you should be looking to do a complete retest of your important thyroid levels. We recommend three different panels depending on where you are at with your treatment. They are:

The Initial Full Thyroid Screen for a complete workup of thyroid markers
The Full Thyroid Retest to check stability of treatment
The Dose Adjustment Test if you have recently changes doses or had symptoms

The truth is that, even when your symptoms are stable, there are things that can be affecting your health that would never be able to notice. These go way beyond symptom changes, and they can be discovered by gaining full access to your thyroid test results.

A thyroid panel can help give you the exact steps you need to take to get your health in order. That is such a beautiful thing, being able to combine your lab results and your symptoms and making real, positive changes to your health.
