Healthy Thyroid Test

WHY YOU SHOULD BE TRACKING YOUR THYROID

Here’s the good news …

Early detection and treatment of a thyroid problem can have an astounding effect on your quality of life and in a very short time you could feel better, sleep better and have more energy generally.

The not-so-good news, one in five women have a thyroid issue but only 50% get diagnosed – and you could be in that number.  So, if you have any of the symptoms below, get checked.  Remember, it’s easier to intervene earlier than later.

Consider a thyroid health check if you’re experiencing any of these red-alert symptoms:

 

  • Weight changes
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Heat sensitivity
  • Vision problems
  • Sleep disturbances

  • History of hyperthyroidism treatment.

History of neck or upper chest radiation.

  • Previous thyroid surgery.
