Hypothyroidism affects approximately 4-5% of the population whilst estimates for hyperthyroidism are 0.4-2%.
Thyroid abnormalities has become a quiet epidemic worldwide. The thyroid has just one job, however, it is one of the most important jobs for the body to function properly. The thyroid makes hormones that regulate the energy level, growth, and reproduction of every cell of your body.

The thyroid profile basic is an assessment of thyroid hormone metabolism for TSH, Ft3 and Ft4. The basic thyroid assessment allows the practitioner to pinpoint common imbalances that may be causing chronic illnesses.
