Unlock Your Metabolism's Master Switch: Optimise Your Thyroid, Energise Your Life
Your thyroid is the control centre for metabolism, recovery, and energy balance. When it’s off—even slightly—you feel it everywhere.
🧬 Why Thyroid Health Matters
Your Thyroid Isn’t Just About Hormones—It’s About How You Feel.
A well-functioning thyroid means sustainable energy, consistent fat loss, better moods, and sharper cognition. But dysfunction can silently stall your progress—and standard testing often misses the full picture.
🔬 Core Thyroid Lab Tests
Get to the Root: What Are Your Thyroid Hormones Really Doing?
-
TSH
Master signal from the brain. High = thyroid may be underactive.
✅ Optimal: 0.5–2.0 mIU/L
-
Free T4
The inactive hormone your thyroid makes.
✅ Optimal: 1.0–1.8 ng/dL
-
Free T3
The active hormone that powers metabolism.
✅ Optimal: 3.2–4.4 pg/mL
-
Reverse T3
Blocks the action of T3—often high during stress.
✅ Optimal: 10–24 ng/dL
-
TPOAb & TgAb
Check for hidden autoimmune attacks on your thyroid.
✅ Optimal: TPOAb <9 IU/mL, TgAb <4 IU/mL
⚖️ Secondary & Influential Markers
It’s Not Just About the Thyroid Gland—It’s What Influences It.
-
Cortisol (AM/PM pattern)
Chronic stress blocks T4-to-T3 conversion."
-
Vitamin D
Crucial for immune and thyroid receptor function.
✅ Optimal: 50–80 ng/mL
-
Ferritin
Iron is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis.
✅ Optimal: 50–150 ng/mL
-
Zinc & Selenium
Trace minerals, big impact.
-
Lipid Panel
High cholesterol? Often a thyroid clue.
-
Iodine Testing
Too little—or too much—iodine impairs hormone production.
🔍 Functional & Symptom-Based Assessments
Your Symptoms Are Data—Listen Closely
Hypothyroidism (Underactive): Fatigue, weight gain, cold hands/feet, hair thinning, brain fog, constipation.
Hyperthyroidism (Overactive): Weight loss, anxiety, racing heart, heat intolerance, muscle weakness, insomnia.
-
Basal Body Temp
Morning temps <97.2°F often = slowed thyroid.
-
Resting Metabolic Rate
Low RMR may signal sluggish thyroid function.
🧘♀️ Lifestyle Levers That Shift the Thyroid
Optimising Your Thyroid Isn’t Just About Pills—It’s About Your Environment
-
🍽️ Nutrition
- Adequate iodine, selenium, zinc, omega-3s
- Goitrogens? Cooked is better than raw if intake is high
-
😴 Sleep & Stress
- Improve HPT axis signaling
- Support adrenal balance (less reverse T3)
-
🧼 Toxin Load
- Reduce endocrine disruptors (BPA, phthalates, heavy metals)
- Filtered water, clean personal care, and EMF reduction
📊 What Your Results Mean – And What to Do About Them
Your Labs Told a Story. Here’s How to Act On It
-
📉 High TSH, Low Free T3
→ Suggests sluggish thyroid (hypothyroidism)
Strategies: Selenium, iron repletion, stress management, exercise therapy. -
🔥 High Reverse T3
→ Suggests stress or inflammation
Strategies: Cortisol balancing, anti-inflammatory nutrition, adaptogens. -
🧬 Elevated TPO or Tg Antibodies
→ Suggests Hashimoto’s or autoimmune activity
Strategies: Gluten-free diet trial, gut healing, selenium, low-dose naltrexone (if clinical). -
❄️ Low Body Temp + Fatigue + Normal Labs
→ Subclinical hypothyroidism or poor T4-to-T3 conversion
Strategies: Re-assess labs, look at iron/ferritin, stress, or toxins.
💊 Targeted Supplementation – If Needed
Smart Support, Based on Real Data—Not Guesswork
-
🧬 Hormone Support
- L-Tyrosine
- Iodine (only if deficient)
- Selenium (100–200 mcg/day)
-
⚙️ Conversion Enhancers
- Zinc
- Vitamin A
- Ashwagandha (adaptogen support)
-
🛡️ Autoimmune Modulators
- Curcumin
- Omega-3s
- Vitamin D3 + K2
