Description

Comprehensive thyroid testing with key hormone and antibody markers – using a simple at-home blood spot collection.

The Elite Thyroid Profile provides a thorough assessment of thyroid function and autoimmunity. It includes the core markers found in the Essential Thyroid Profile, with the addition of thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroxine (T4) to offer a more complete picture of thyroid hormone production and potential immune system involvement.

This test helps detect conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and other thyroid-related disorders that may contribute to fatigue, weight changes, mood issues, hair loss, and more.

What This Test Measures

This panel includes six key biomarkers to evaluate thyroid hormone levels, conversion, and autoimmune activity:

  • TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): The primary signal from the brain to the thyroid; often the first marker to shift in thyroid dysfunction
  • fT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): The active form of thyroid hormone; low levels may explain fatigue, low metabolism, and brain fog
  • fT4 (Free Thyroxine): Precursor hormone to T3; helps assess thyroid hormone production
  • T4 (Total Thyroxine): Includes both free and bound thyroxine; gives a broader view of hormone availability
  • Tg (Thyroglobulin): A protein used by the thyroid to produce hormones; may be elevated in thyroid inflammation or cancer
  • Anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies): Autoantibodies that attack thyroid tissue; often elevated in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and autoimmune thyroid disease

Who Should Consider This Test?

This panel is ideal for individuals with:

  • Fatigue or sluggish metabolism
  • Cold sensitivity or dry skin
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Hair thinning or brittle nails
  • Mood issues, depression, or anxiety
  • Irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns
  • A personal or family history of thyroid disorders or autoimmunity
