Thyroid health
Find out if your thyroid is behind how you feel.
What it is
Your thyroid sets the pace of your metabolism, affecting energy, weight, temperature, mood, hair and skin.
Thyroid problems are much more common in women and are often autoimmune, such as Hashimoto's. They can appear around pregnancy and menopause. Many women are told their results are normal because only TSH was tested.
Is this you?
- Tiredness
- Feeling cold
- Weight gain
- Hair thinning or dry skin
- Low mood or brain fog
Common root causes
We look at all three corners of the body–mind–brain triangle.
Body
Autoimmune thyroid disease, low iron, iodine or selenium, and gut problems that affect immunity.
Mind
Long-term stress.
Brain
The pituitary's signal to the thyroid (TSH), which is affected by stress and illness.
How we assess it
A symptom profile, a full thyroid panel with antibodies, and the nutrient tests that support thyroid function.
Available in clinic in Llandudno, or remotely by video with home or partner-site blood tests.
Your plan
After your Women's Health Assessment, you receive a personal plan with nutrition, lifestyle and targeted support, regular check-ins, and a retest so you can see what has changed.
