THYROID PANEL
Thyroid function is a majorly under-addressed condition. We have thyroid receptors on every cell in the body, which confirms its' importance for all systems.

The Complete Thyroid Profile Test Measures
Our thyroid hormones impact energy and cognitive function, mood, emotions, concentration, memory and attention.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
TSH causes the thyroid gland to make two hormones, T3 and T4, which help control the body's metabolism. This test is to confirm whether the thyroid gland and brain thyroid communication are working properly.
T4, Total
A measurement of the total amount of T4 (Thyroxine) in the blood.
T4, Free
Most of the T4 in the body binds to protein – any T4 that does not is called 'Free T4' and circulates unbound in blood.
T3, Total
T3 (Triiodothyronine) is the most important thyroid hormone for the body's control of metabolism.
T3, Free
Most of the T3 in the body binds to protein, the T3 that does not is called 'Free T3' and circulates unbound in blood.
Profile Test Measures continued
T3, Reverse
Reverse T3 is converted by the liver from the stored hormone T4. It is the body's main route for removing unneeded T4 every day. Sometimes the body can make too much reverse T3 from a number of causes – chronic emotional, physical, or biological stress, chronic sickness, post surgery, diabetes, ageing, or an acute injury.
Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibody
Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) is an important enzyme for producing thyroid hormone. TPO converts T4 to T3. High levels of TPO antibodies can indicate the immune system is mistakenly attacking the enzyme and the thyroid gland, which compromises thyroid function.
Thyroglobulin (Tg) Antibody
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a protein produced and used by the thyroid gland to make the hormones T3 and T4. High levels of antibodies to Tg, also indicate the immune system is mistakenly attacking the thyroid gland.
Healthy Thyroid Function
Testing each step within thyroid function, is vital to ensure that the entire pathway is working effectively.

SIBO
Lactulose, Glucose or Fructose
$235
INCLUDES:
• Breath Testing Kit
• 30-min online appointment to explain
'how-to' complete the test correctly.
1 SIBO TEST
Either Lactulose, Glucose or Fructose
The test is simple and non-invasive. It can help determine the
likelihood of SIBO as a causative or contributing factor for health issues.
Knowing the type and level of gases produced aids targeted treatment
and forms a baseline for follow-up comparison.
Following collection of a baseline breath sample, a lactulose
or glucose challenge drink is consumed. Breath samples are captured
at periodic intervals for up to 3 hours and analysed for the amount of hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide gas using gold-standard gas chromatography equipment.
