The Thyroid Fixer 593. Quick Fixes: How to Get ACCURATE Thyroid and Hormone Lab Results: Do's and Don't of Lab Testing
I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked (and most sabotaging) pieces of thyroid and hormone health: how to get truly accurate lab results. Because testing isn’t enough… testing the right way is what gives you answers, leverage, and a plan that actually works. I walk you through the most common mistakes I see people make with thyroid and hormone labs, why “normal” results often mean nothing, and how timing, fasting, supplements, and medications can completely skew your numbers without you realizing it.
We dig into when to test thyroid versus hormones, what to do if you’re on thyroid meds or hormone replacement, why biotin can wreck your labs, and how to properly time things like T3, progesterone, testosterone, estrogen, injections, creams, patches, and birth control. I also explain why peak testing is misleading, how false highs and lows happen, and how inaccurate labs can keep you stuck, dismissed, or over- or under-medicated. If you’re tired of guessing, tired of being told you’re fine, and ready to finally see what’s actually going on inside your body, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to test smarter and take your power back.
