The Free T3 test measures the level of free triiodothyronine (T3), a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that plays a significant role in regulating metabolism and energy levels. Unlike total T3, this test focuses specifically on the unbound form of the hormone, which is biologically active. Abnormal Free T3 levels can indicate thyroid dysfunction, impacting energy, weight, and mood. By providing insight into your thyroid hormone status, this test helps you understand your body's metabolic processes and can be a vital part of managing thyroid health.

"An extremely common cause of low energy is thyroid disease. In fact, it is often misdiagnosed as depression. In response to brain signaling, the thyroid secretes thyroid hormone. The active form of thyroid hormone is called free T3. It's this hormone that has effects on every cell of the body, promoting optimal metabolism and function." - Dr. Alan Hopkins
