In this episode, Dr. Emily Kiberd explains why testing just TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is insufficient for understanding thyroid health. She shares her personal experience with Hashimoto's diagnosis and highlights the limitations of conventional TSH tests.

Dr. Kiberd outlines the importance of testing additional markers including Free T3, Free T4, TPO antibodies, TGAB, and reverse T3 to get a comprehensive view.

She also discusses the difference between conventional and functional ranges, as well as the impact of factors like stress, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health on thyroid function.

Dr. Kiberd advocates for a holistic approach, combining direct hormone testing with root cause analysis, to effectively manage thyroid health.
