Low THYROID Testing (ALL the Tests You Need for Hypothyroid) 2024

And what did your doctor tell you about treating Hashimoto ?

[@lorimullen3680]

The antibody tests show when Hashimotos is present. When your blood has the antibodies present that shows the proof of the autoimmune disease. Hashimoto is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. I am learning all of this, too, after 17 years of painful symptoms!

[@camarorules1]

So is the treatment the same? Levothyroxine?

[@gullinvarg]

Level 1 1. TSH 2. Free T3 3. Free T4 4. Reverse T3 5. TPO-Ab 6. TG-Ab 7. Urine-Iodine (want upper limit of normal range) Level 2 1. TSHr-Ab (TSH receptor antibody) 2. NI-Symporter-Ab (sodium iodine symporter antibody)

There are so many of us who have thyroid issues and/or Hashimotos. I am in Canada,and due to research and the multiple groups I belong I have discovered there are many many of us who are not treated,tested, monitored,medicated well or listened to very well by our doctors. I wish doctors were trained better in regards to all the testing involved, not just testing and treating by TSH. This is a huge issue, and many cannot find proper care, and/or have to pay for private functional doctors, in order to get proper care,if not some of us are completely out of luck and are kept improperly medicated and feeling ill.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 35 years ago and it took about 30 years to get my Hashimotos diagnosis. I never even heard of Hashimotos until my holistic doctor mentioned it and sent me for an ultrasound of my thyroid gland and did all these tests that you mentioned. I have had a dozen different pill pusher MDs over the years testing my thyroid and treat my symptoms. They never tested beyond TSH & T4, even if I asked them for more testing. And not one of them told me that I have an autoimmune disease. Not until I had found a holistic doctor was I tested & treated properly. Dr. Berry, I appreciate your holistic approach to health and your honesty. If I lived closer I would definitely love to meet with you if you are still practicing. But for now I will binge watch your videos. 😁

I just lived with my symptoms and that was my normal. I blamed it on other life things so it's been an awakening to myself. No one spoke about food ever. My Hashimotos diagnosis came 30 years late but I'm glad to hear what's happening because at least can get a plan of action going.

I am 79 and have about every symptom you named. At this point my hair is falling out, my nails are disgusting, my ears ring so loud I have trouble hearing at times. I have been on Gabapentin for 13 years for neuropathy they don't know the cause of and have osteoporosis. I could go on but, even with seeing the Doc every 3 months, I think I have been sl-o-o-wly starving to death for years, and even with all these problems, I keep telling them that, and they just don't get it.

And i saw somenthing like ketogenic diet and fasting from some rondom videos,and here you were sir.. i watch some of your videos about keto...ketovore...and carnivire diet. So from that day i start my jorney with first keto/16/8 fasting for 3 weeks,than i start with ketovore/18/6 fasting,then when i saw i was getting huge results i start with carnivore/ omad fasting. Now we are at the end of september of 2022,and i lost 40 lbs,plus my blood sugar is 89 from 420.and my blood preasure is 117/72 from 159/110.

I went and got my thyroid labs drawn today because Ive been feeling like I’ve been going downhill and I also noticed that for the past few months I’ve been taking less dosage than the bottle tells me to. It says take 90mcg 4 times a week then a pill and a half the other 3 days. He called and left a voicemail and said my TSH looked good and no need to change dose but I wasn’t taking the dose I was supposed to be taking in the first place? And he didn’t mention free T3 or free T4 either. They didn’t even check my T4. I called and asked them to after I left the lab when the lady told me they were only drawing TSH and free T3. I feel really off and I’m shocked that he said it was fine. I’m having bad mood swings and hot flashes and irritability, headaches and weakness. But my levels are fine? No way. I’ve been dealing with this for 12 years. I know better.

[@johnmontana18]

Wonderful video. So many doctors insist that TSH is the only test needed. My thyroid has been dead for many years. TSH on me often tells doctors I am getting too much thyroid. Frustrating that every time I get a new doctor I must deal with hardheaded doctors that think I only need the TSH.

[@gullinvarg]

I can't remember if it was here or another channel, but this was a suggestion for when you get that response. Politely tell them ”Then record in my medical record that I requested these tests and you chose not to order them." This will generally cause them to order the tests to avoid liability. Also, bringing in documentation to educate your physician about how the symptoms relate to yours and why fewer tests are insufficient can help. Dr Berry usually has links to this info in his show notes. This time he doesn't seem to have links to studies though.

[@chuuweeforgaming518]

By the time TSH and T4 gets abnormal it is already too late to help your thyroid. I fight my doctors by paying the extra test and show them the results with "I told you so Doc, but you don't believe me". They then shut up and listen to what I said and requested because the proof is stated in that lab works they refused to do for us.

Thank you Doctor .Around 2009 I was found to have Lymes disease. The private Doctor in the UK suggested I ask my GP to test my thyroid. The TSH and T4 were I believe in range. I went for a private scan and was advised that I did have inflammation/nodules and in the radiographers experience, I would need treatment in around 7 years. The last 2 years everything has gone haywire and I have really lengthy flare ups, and I can actually feel a lump on my thyroid. It is very easy to feel. With my pushing they tested again, TSH and T4 and TPO. ( they did the TPO under duress)TPO’S were high but they said not not to worry as my TSH was normal I have been to the doctors so many times in the last year and not once has the GP palpated my thyroid gland or suggested a scan. I have just about every single symptom of hypothyroid. They don’t believe I don't overeat. And put everything down to being in my head I think. I even have microglossia permanently and evidenced by my old GP from years ago. I also have developed permanent high Liver enzymes ( I am tea total) and now something is attacking all my joints. ( not RA- they actually ruled that out) I am now worried the autoimmune has effected other areas. Even an NHS endocrinologist wrote to me to basically say they wouldn't treat me. My BMR is 1375, when I’m not in huge flare up, I train 4.-5 times a week , walk everywhere and have only been eating 1200 cals a day ( cutting carbs) yet for the last 8 weeks my weight has gone up by around 2lbs per week. This week I have cut my calories more although all my training , research and common sense indicate that this is not the correct path. I,like many are being left to suffer. I think they are trying to pin it on fibromyalgia yet after research, although there are a few overlaps, the symptoms don’t really fit. I will now look at the other video

There is a simple way to find that out. Put some iodine on your skin. After 24 ohrs check it out. If the color is disappeard you are deficient and have low thyroid and that's why your body absorbed it. If the color is still on your skin you don't have defiency in iodin and don't have low thyroid. Thyroid issues can be heald due dietary changing as GAPS diet, carnivore diet or keto.

I have over 23 under active thyroid symptoms, I gained 4st in 6months I knew this wasn’t normal, went to my dr who just did one blood test & said I was fine, I said I couldn’t be fine as I know my body & there are more tests for under active thyroid than the one that she gave me, she ignored me & said if I’d had hypothyroidism for over 6months it would have shown in my bloods & recommended weight watchers even though I’d already shown her my my Fitbit readout that I was burning over double the calories I took in a day by eating a healthy piscaterian diet (I don’t eat sugar or processed food or junk food/cakes/sweets) walking 11miles a day & exercising (on days I wasn’t too exhausted to get out of bed) so how the hell would weight watchers help? She basically ignored me and my 6months b4 & after pics, I don’t think she believed me & thought me a over eating hypochondriac…. I went on dieting & gained another stone so was then 5st overweight & frustrated as hell, then tried the carnivore diet and lost 12lb in 6 weeks but stuck at that, I’m sure I have hypothyroidism but GP is ignoring my pleas for medical help when I had over 23 signs of having it plus early menopause, gallstones, itchy toes, and 1/3 of eyebrows gone which I’ve just found out are indicators. It’s so frustrating my local surgery only seems interested in helping you if you want a covid injection or covid booster injection, not any other medical problems.

[@benjaminphillip9562]

I can't stop thanking GOD for using Dr iyaremoses on KZbin for using his herbal medicine to get rid of hypothyroidism.

Is there are difference between the normal and optimal levels for thyroid? And if so what are the optimal ranges? If your tests all show you are in normal range but not optimal is there anything you can go to help get them into a more optimal range?

[@rachaelmarchand2239]

Your videos are so informative and amazing. Thank you for doing this work!

Low Total t4 and high reverse t3 thyroglobulin ab

[@peacepocket]

The lab you suggested 2 years ago is no longer in business. Can you please recommend another lab?

[@bethanystanley4400]

My doc checked my TSH, free T3 and free T4. My T4 was .74 and all others were normal. They my my T4 isn’t low enough but I still feel like poop. Chronic headache, fatigue, weight gain...most all of the symptoms. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@ashleytaylor994]

Check b1 and iodine and selenium

[@irinabenskaya5499]

Thanks Doctor again! I wish you will be my Doctor!

[@annavasileva3497]

Very informative video. What about Hyperthyroidism (Graves)? Can you make a video about that? Tests, medications, diet - dos and don'ts.

[@dixiewasson1800]

I was diagnosed with graves in 1993, had almost all the symptoms.😢 they gave me radio active iodine to kill the thyroid off . Old school Dr I was young and dumb! Suffered side effects of low throws since. NO-ONE has ever understood or tried to help. Even went to an endocrinologist for 2 years nothing worked. I know they weren’t doing all these test!

[@aglioliva]

I wanted to add Reverse T3 test to complete my thyroid test but in Italy this test is rarely requested or done in the lab. It was hard to press my doctor to prescribe Free T3, Free T4, TPO ab and TG-ab.

[@ladyp5511]

Thank you so much for sharing this, Dr. Berry! You have no idea how many people it will help! So grateful!

[@olwynyoung6499]

Ha, mine came back as "its fine" on Monday past. It really doesn't feel like it is.

[@clarissamck]

Trust your gut. If you feel off or somethings not right, keep fighting . Go to another Dr.

[@rakeshmital5426]

thanks for this wonderful information

[@patmike3406]

Thank you so much Doc! This is what we were looking for!

[@ArtemKuchin]

Do you know that KETO diet lowers T3 pretty substantially? After 6 months on keto i went from 62% of t3 range to 19% of the range. I do not loose weight. I it a lot until i am full. 2 times a day, usually 16/8. I feel great, lots of energy and i can go and go without stopping. However, my wife has hashimotos and hypothyrioidism and she is on keto since june and now no doctor can tell how to analyze her lab tests simply because there are no normal ranges for people on keto and no one every researched keto for hypothyroid patients. So, she just checked how she feels. That's basically now the only way. How is your T3 doing?

[@kathypowers2850]

Thank you , Dr. Berry 💕

[@AMDG_-nk2dp]

Can you please tell us what the actual reference ranges are for each of these thyroid tests. I know that the lab reference ranges from the blood report labatory can be grossly inaccurate. And maybe what the 'ideal" normal levels are for each test . Thank you.

[@allyirvine7537]

Brilliant, much-needed video.

[@heathercarroll7424]

Where is the link to the lab to bypass your doctor if they refuse to test as you have recommended?

[@denisemarie6113]

Thank you Dr Berry will definitely be checking my thyroid soon also I just ordered the iodine drops you recommended

[@GrandmasBeans1]

When I click on the link above, I get this message from True Labs: Restricted access. A consultation with our clinical department is required in order to determine the appropriateness of this product.

[@sarahmcneill6016]

Same :(

[@lemhanback9595]

Ty will be discussing these with my Primary.

[@krystalmoralee6071]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@iowaclassic]

I asked my practitioner and they refuse to do any testing but the tsh. I need to see someone else obviously. Because if they refuse to have the tests drawn then I dont believe they are going to treat the results if I have the tests done independently.

[@evilwomanofdoom]

I am within NHS normal range and take levothyroxine daily. But I am low end of normal and my fingernails ridged and split and I get shaking hands sometimes. Benn eating and training well about 7 years and these symptoms still exist. NHS data on this is sooooo outdated same as their BMI its laughable

[@greekgiggler]

I was able to do the TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and TPOABs through Thorne, but not the other tests. My results all said normal but I still can’t lose weight and hair is falling out. Maybe it’s because ive been taking iodine, selenium through Brazil nuts, and other supplements consistently, so maybe it’s slowly getting better but I don’t know for sure. Still can’t seem to lose weight and I get fatigue in the middle of the day

[@yay-cat]

Thanks Doc! I’ll definitely ask my doc for some of these after watching the symptoms video. I’ve been trying to figure out why my ADHD has gotten worse (also some unexpected weight gain). Interestingly I read somewhere that thyroid issues might be more common in the ADHD population but maybe it’s just overlapping symptoms

[@Deej496]

Wow. So interesting! Thanks

[@TheCgmullen]

Thank you so much. This is the information I needed.

[@benjaminphillip9562]

I can't stop thanking GOD for using Dr iyaremoses on KZbin for using his herbal medicine to get rid of hypothyroidism.

[@melissajoe3439]

im so thankful for this doc

[@JohnDoe-z2r]

And what should the levels for the individual tests be?

[@willfrederickson1330]

IL I love all your KZbin videos, thank you so very much!

[@rockhunter8483]

Thank you so much Dr Berry!

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Appreciate this!

[@melissalynn2563]

Thank you

[@brth3637]

most doctors in the US don't want to run all these test. I hate we have to go through this. I have tricare and these military doctors don't like to do anymore than the bare minimum in care.

[@tarasinclair5685]

Could you show me any information on graves and hyperthyroidism I’ll be gratefully thankful!

[@Work4Love3000]

My doc will only do the standard TSH + Free T4. He says the rest are unnecessary even though Humana covers them all. I got him to add the TPO-Ab but he said the treatment is still going to be the same - levothyroxin. Humana covers Amour Thyroid but he said I don't need it. I wanted the Free T3 so I found that Any Labs Now does the TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 for $99. The Reverse T3 test is $129 by itself. I'll try and submit the receipts to Humana and see what they do.

[@siobhanmcneenan3253]

Thyroid testing should be mandatory for everyone yearly

[@pritchettman1]

Thank you Dr Berry that is great information I hope I can get my Dr to do that for me If I paid cash about how much would all that cost

[@deborah10ism]

Great video

[@avaelizabeth4808]

Thank you SO much

[@maal5927]

Which medicine would you recommend, when a patient has Tpo- ab,TG- ab,TSHr- ab or NI- symporter- ab. Thanks a lot for this channel Dr.Ken.

[@wildmeatman7716]

Since been on carnivore for 7 months my medication has dropped for my thyroid

[@moviemakerwannabe]

I didn't even get half those tests done and it was a thyroid specialist.

[@MarydToKeto]

This is amazingly helpful!!!! I never know the lingo to use with my doctor so I really appreciate this!

[@terrimadden9858]

Which one makes you lose weight

[@mabeldenecker9175]

Excellent info Dr Berry you one of a kind. Thank you so much.🙏🏾🌺

[@kittyg77]

Aloha Dr.Berry✌🏻 I’ve been looking forward to this video ..thank you

[@kellyvendrasco1945]

My internist wanted to test my Free T4 and TSh. I asked about T3 and he said that test is of no importance. I went to get my bloodwork done and they said they couldnt do free T4 but just regular T4. Wth??? Ive been tested 3 times and my Tsh was high twice and normal once. My T4 was normal. Im not sure what my T4 was last time. The internist is referring me to a rheumotologist. I wish they would also send me to an endocrinologist as well. I had issues years ago and saw one years ago before this dr. Ive had prolactin issues and i was told i have empty sella syndrome with my old dr. I wish they would check my pituitary gland again. All i know is im so sick and almost bed bound. My dr did say she might put me on low dose thyroid med. Nothing but a shit show. I feel like im dying a slow death. I would love to bring that list to them but im sure i would get laughed at. Btw im in Canada. Our healthcare is free for the most part but absolutely sucks!!!!!!!! Im so tired of being sick tired and no help and no answers!!!!!😡😭😤

[@busybeaver793]

i am from Canada, My thyroid tests have always shown to be in the normal range. I have multiple low thyroid symptons. How can I convince a medical profession that one little box a lab sheet is not enough. I am totally frustrated.

[@wellnessdr5572]

Treat the cause and not the disease There are private labs in Canada where u can do tests even without any prescription

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

So keto + IF for last 30 months and up until maybe a month ago, felt awesome. It was the trip to the ER last on April 28th that woke me up - onset afib with high TSH. Here I am questioning if keto caused afib and if maybe dumping table salt 30 months ago for PHS and sea salt might have given me an iodine deficiency. Once I see the cardiologist on the 12th my doctor will check my thyroid. TSH last June was just outside the range, 4.27, but TSH now is 9.65. Free T4 was normal. But of course, meaningless together.

[@timefortees8872]

@patrickdezenzio4988 Hi. This is interesting! What caused your afib you think? Only asking because I was diagnosed with afib almost a year ago, 45 years old… and that was AFTER i lost 28 pounds.. I did one meal a day for a long period and probably lacked some nutrients along the way. I did OMAD for about 4 months and probably didn’t take as much supplements as I probably should’ve in that period. Magnesium, potassium etc. I ended up with persistant Afib…😢 Maybe it was some thyroid related problems that got me Afib.. Idk🤷🏻‍♂️but I do have a few symptoms of it.. What did you find out for yourself? Was it the thyroid that caused Afib you think? Have a Nice day👍

[@nenadiaz7362]

TSH 0.863 Anti-tpo 9.0 Thyroxine T4 10.7 T3 free 3.4 Are these good numbers plz.Thank you. I also have a goiter.

[@pattyfoster6987]

The link to your favorite iodine doesn’t work. What is the name of it so I can search for it? Thank you for the test list. You are so appreciated.

[@chillstepmonarch]

What's the point of blood work if I don't have a doctor that will give me anything, if needed. My hrt doctor told me that even if I got a thyroid panel she wouldn't give me anything. Said t3 is dangerous and their clinic doesn't deal with it. So I have no one to give the blood work to. I don't have much money to go to doctors being unemployed right now.

[@sandraschier118]

Thank you for the information doctor! I’ll be checking my results soon!!
