Private Thyroid Test
Your thyroid controls far more than most people realise. As a result, it affects your energy, weight, mood, sleep, and metabolism all rely on it working properly. When something’s off, the symptoms are easy to put down to just being busy, stressed, or getting older.
A private thyroid blood test gives you real answers, checked properly by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, with results explained clearly rather than left for you to interpret alone.
What Our Thyroid Blood Test Checks
Our thyroid function test goes beyond just TSH, as standard we check:
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Free T3
- Free Thyroxine (Free T4)
- Thyroglobulin Antibody
- Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO Ab)
Thyroglobulin and TPO antibodies the markers that can reveal Hashimoto’s even when TSH looks normal. Checking thyroid antibodies alongside your core hormone levels matters, they’re often the missing piece when someone has textbook normal Tired, Low, or Not Yourself? It Could Be Your Thyroid
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, low, or just not quite right, it’s easy to put that down to a busy life. However, your thyroid controls far more than most people realise, energy, weight, mood, sleep, and metabolism all rely on it working properly. A thyroid test can give you a clear, honest answer rather than leaving you guessing.
