Sorting Hashimoto's labs into thyroid or immune buckets ⎹ Ep. 214
You have the lab printout in front of you. You circled the flagged numbers, looked them up, and maybe compared them to somebody else's results in a group. So why do you still not know what they mean?
In episode 214, Esther walks through the full panel and sorts every lab into thyroid or immune, so you can do the same thing with your own results in about five minutes. Sorting Hashimoto's labs is simpler than it looks once you know which list each one belongs on.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Which labs report on your thyroid gland and which ones report on your immune system
Why reverse T3 is the lab that goes missing most often, and what a high number is asking you to look at
Why vitamin D and C-reactive protein are helpful even though they are not on the standard thyroid panel
Hit play, then pull out your most recent results and start sorting.
