I’ve had a number of clients who have been told by their doctor that they needed to see
a psychologist because their TSH was within normal range and they continued to
complain that their symptoms had not improved with treatment.
One client in particular came to me in tears because her doctor literally called her a liar
to her face because despite medical treatment she continued to complain of fatigue and
that she still wasn’t able to lose weight no matter what she tried. By simply monitoring
her temperature and pulse, she was able to understand that her medication wasn’t
working and that she still had all of her symptoms because she continued to be just as
hypothyroid as she was prior to treatment. Once we addressed the kinks in her thyroid
hormone pathway, she was amazed by the difference.
So, as you can see, it is not always so cut and dry. There are many factors that affect
your hormones and that make it impossible to rely on the level of one single hormone
(TSH) to tell a much bigger story. It is definitely not enough evidence to rule out
hypothyroidism, especially when your symptoms say otherwise.
Additional Thyroid Testing
Few doctors understand the inadequacies of TSH testing and are even willing to run
additional lab testing to see more of the bigger thyroid picture.
While this is a step in the right direction, and additional thyroid testing can provide more
insight into the bigger picture, it still does not answer the most important question you
need to know; whether or not thyroid hormone is able to get to your cells properly.
As I have mentioned many times, you can supplement or medicate all of the thyroid
hormone you want, but if you can’t get the right thyroid hormone to your cells, it’s a lost
cause.
So, we really don’t have much choice but to take matters into our own hands and
become educated as to all of the testing options available. Believe it or not, there is a far
more reliable and more accurate test that your doctor is not telling you about and you
don’t even need your doctor to do it.
The good news for you is that I’m going to show you the best way to test your thyroid
function and answer the most important question that you need to know.
By monitoring your temperature and pulse you can effectively measure your metabolism
and thyroid function. Instead of measuring the water pressure of the hose, which isn’t
accurate by any means, you’re directly measuring the amount of water that is getting
into your bucket, or in other words, the amount of thyroid hormone getting to your cells.
