Thyroid Panel - What do my results mean?

Below you'll find breakdowns of all of our lab tests and the biomarkers included! These are meant to provide you with more information to make informed decisions and understand what your lab results mean. We cannot diagnose or treat here in the app so if you have any questions or concerns please reach out to your primary care provider for further guidance.

Key Terms

  • Standard Reference Range: This is the general range that most lab tests and PCP's give as within normal or "standards".
  • Optimal Range: This is ideally where we want to be! Remember normal is not optimal.
  • Alarm Range: Please consult with your doctors ASAP if you have results in this range.

 

Hormone & Thyroid Panels

So what now? Next Steps!

Mental/Emotional: 

  • Reduce stress through relaxing activities. Think taking a walk, reading a book, a bubble bath, your Ab Rehab moves and breathing.

Supplemental: (Access supplements HERE!)
