Thyroid Panel and HTMA Consult
I began offering my thyroid coaching program because many of my clients were not feeling better, even if their labs were ‘normal’ or they were put on thyroid hormone replacement therapy with their doctor. Many clients also just wanted a more holistic path to support their symptoms of sluggish thyroid.
In order to create a more complete plan of action to help a client recover from thyroid issues in the long-term, it's important to see both a hair tissue mineral analysis and a more complete thyroid panel. The allopathic standard is still just to start by testing the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and not much more, if anything. This one marker only tells you what your brain is asking for, nothing else. With both current hormone levels via blood as well as HTMA, we can see what hormone is being produced as well as how effectively it’s getting into the cells.
Key mineral patterns are common in folks with symptoms of hypothyroidism, which can be supported more fully with HTMA in hand, as well as support to address dietary and lifestyle patterns that need to be corrected.
