Why Track?

Regular testing of biomarkers can act as an early detection system. Especially if you're not getting enough sleep, have improper nutrition, substandard training, unwise lifestyle choices or weak bone health. Lab Me helps by detecting non-optimal levels of blood biomarkers . For example, high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone which is an indicator of hypothyroidism.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, is the hormone responsible for controlling hormone production by the thyroid gland.  TSH is considered the most sensitive marker for screening for thyroid diseases and conditions. The Lab Me thyroid test is ideal for TSH testing at home and will show you how your levels compare to normal TSH levels.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is produced by the pituitary gland of the brain. The release of TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  These two hormones are essential in controlling your bodies metabolism.
