Introduction Anti-TG (Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibodies) is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, detecting autoimmune attack on thyroglobulin—the storage protein for thyroid hormones—and signaling risk for Hashimoto’s, Graves’, or thyroid cancer. If you’re experiencing thyroid nodules, fluctuating energy, infertility, or family history of autoimmunity, your Anti-TG levels could provide critical insights, especially when Anti-TPO is negative. […]
Reverse T3 – Your Body’s Thyroid Brake for Energy Conservation
Introduction Reverse T3 (rT3) is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, representing the inactive metabolite of T4 that acts as a natural brake on thyroid activity during stress, illness, or calorie restriction. If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, cold intolerance, or weight gain despite normal TSH and Free T3, your Reverse T3 levels—and the Free […]
Anti-TPO – Your Body’s Thyroid Autoimmune Sentinel for Gland Protection
Introduction Anti-TPO (Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies) is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, serving as the primary marker of autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland and a predictor of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis progression. If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or thyroid nodules despite normal TSH, your Anti-TPO levels could provide critical insights. In […]
TSH – Your Body’s Thyroid Conductor for Metabolic Harmony
Introduction TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, acting as the master regulator of thyroid function and a sensitive indicator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. If you’re experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, hair thinning, or mood changes, your TSH levels could provide critical insights—even when thyroid hormones appear normal. In this chapter, […]
Free T4 – Your Body’s Unbound Thyroid Reservoir for Consistent Vitality
Introduction Free T4 is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, representing the unbound, bioavailable fraction of thyroxine that serves as the primary circulating thyroid hormone and precursor to active T3. If you’re experiencing subtle fatigue, dry skin, mood instability, or metabolic shifts despite normal TSH, your Free T4 levels could provide critical insights. In […]
Free T3 – Your Body’s Unbound Active Thyroid Hormone for Peak Performance
Introduction Free T3 is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, representing the unbound, biologically active fraction of triiodothyronine that directly fuels cellular energy, metabolism, and brain function. If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight resistance, mood dips, or cold sensitivity despite “normal” TSH, your Free T3 levels could provide critical insights. In this chapter, we’ll […]
T4 – Thyroxine – Your Body’s Thyroid Storage Hormone for Steady Energy
Introduction T4 – Thyroxine is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, serving as the primary thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland and the precursor to active T3. If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, or metabolic slowdown, your T4 levels could provide critical insights. In this chapter, we’ll explore T4 in […]
T3 – Triiodothyronine – Your Body’s Active Thyroid Hormone for Energy and Metabolism
Introduction T3 – Triiodothyronine is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, representing the active form of thyroid hormone that drives metabolism, energy, and brain function. If you’re experiencing fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, or cold intolerance, your T3 levels could provide critical insights. In this chapter, we’ll explore T3 in depth: what it does, […]
hs-CRP – Your Body’s Sensitive Gauge of Systemic Inflammation
Introduction High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a vital biomarker in the Healthspan Assessment, providing a precise measure of low-grade systemic inflammation linked to heart disease, autoimmunity, and metabolic dysfunction. If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, joint aches, brain fog, or cardiovascular concerns, your hs-CRP levels could provide critical insights. In this chapter, we’ll explore hs-CRP in […]
anti-CCP3 IgG and IgA – Your Body’s Precision Autoimmune Markers for Joint Protection
Introduction Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide 3 IgG and IgA (anti-CCP3 IgG and IgA) are vital biomarkers in the Healthspan Assessment, offering highly specific early detection of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and joint autoimmunity. If you’re experiencing joint pain, swelling, fatigue, or a family history of autoimmune disease, your anti-CCP3 levels could provide critical insights. In this chapter, […]
