One question I am most frequently asked is, “What are the most important thyroid tests to check to assess my thyroid’s function?” This, along with what the thyroid test results mean, are two of the most important topics to understand to determine if you truly have thyroid dysfunction or not. And let me tell you, there is a lot of misinformation on the internet and in the conventional medicine world surrounding thyroid tests, thyroid test results, and thyroid medication. That’s why I discuss them in-depth in my book, “The Thyroid Connection.”

I’ll explain what each thyroid test measures as well as how to interpret your thyroid test results. I’ll also discuss why your doctor should carefully review your thyroid test results, and what the optimal reference ranges for thyroid test results are. This can help you and your doctor ensure you enjoy the benefits of optimal thyroid levels.
