Factors that Affect Thyroid Function

Did you know that many Australians are Iodine deficient due to the lack of Iodine in our soil and that Iodine is one of the key factors needed for your thyroid to function optimally?

See, the thyroid is a gland that regulates our entire metabolism, and when it’s not doing so well, neither are you. Conventional GPs usually only test for TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and leave it at that. But what about all the other things that can affect your thyroid? What are your actual levels of free hormones, do you have an elevated reverse T3? Do you have any antibodies that are causing you trouble and why? Does your thyroid have all the building blocks it needs to do its job?
