As a thyroid patient, you must understand the difference between optimal thyroid lab tests and normal thyroid lab tests. When your doctor looks at your lab tests they are looking at them through the lens of what's normal.
This normal range includes all sorts of people including those who are much older than you, those with complex medical problems, and those who are generally unhealthy. When you compare your lab tests to someone doesn't it make sense to compare them to someone who is actually healthy? Of course it does, which is why you need to look at your thyroid lab tests through the lens of what's optimal and not normal.
Learn more about how to tell when a thyroid lab test is optimal and how these ranges are created in this video.
