Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. TSH levels are affected by a number of factors, including stress, diet, and certain medications. An imbalance of TSH levels may indicate an underactive or overactive thyroid, which can cause fatigue and diminish your ability to effectively exercise.

Hyperthyroidism is caused by an overactive thyroid. People with hyperthyroidism often experience disrupted sleep patterns and insomnia despite feeling exhausted. Low levels of TSH may indicate hyperthyroidism.

Fatigue is a very common symptom of hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism can cause slow metabolism and feelings of tiredness and exhaustion. High TSH levels can be an indicator of hypothyroidism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your blood test is most accurate if you take it fasted, meaning before you have anything to eat or drink (other than water). We recommend taking it first thing in the morning. 

Using the Kit ID number, register your test on behealthyr.com. This number is anonymous in our system but allows us to notify you when your test arrives at the lab and your results are ready. It also ensures the lab is able to connect your results to you. 

Next, take a moment to get your blood flowing. This will help make your sample collection easier. Drink a tall glass of water for hydration, then wash your hands for a least one minute in warm water to improve circulation and blood flow. 

Clean the finger you want to prick with the alcohol wipe. Remove the lancet cap then hold the lancet against the tip of your finger. Press the lancet button to perform the finger prick. Next, hold your pricked finger over the ADX card’s sample collection window. You can gently squeeze your finger to get more droplets (you’ll need about 8 in total to fill the card). You may also perform a “milking” motion, applying gentle pressure on either side of the base of your finger and slowly moving toward the fingertip. 

Once filled, leave your ADX card to dry for at least one hour. Meanwhile, clean up and dispose of the used collection tools by sealing them into a bag and placing them in the garbage. As soon as your sample is dry, place it into the sample bag and then slide it into the prepaid envelope. You’ll want to mail your test the same day, so head to your nearest mailbox and drop it inside.

You will be notified when your sample arrives at the lab and then again when your results are ready to view. 

Yes. We recommend taking your Thyroid Health Test first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything (other than water, of course!) to ensure accurate results. This includes supplements, so please wait until after your test to take your morning multivitamin or similar.

If you have just started thyroid medication, such as Levothyroxine, it is recommended that you test your thyroid every 6-8 weeks to monitor the effects of the medication. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your results. Once you are on a stable dose, it is recommended to test your thyroid every 6-12 months. If you receive normal results from your Thyroid Health Test, it is recommended to re-test your thyroid once per year.

There are a number of options available if you receive an abnormal result. Depending on the biomarker out of range, you may choose to speak with your PCP or book a low-cost, same-day telehealth appointment here. In some cases, your physician may recommend medication or a prescription-strength supplement to help improve your levels. Our pharmacy service can help with that. Alternatively, if you are experiencing a nutrient deficiency such as low Vitamin B12, you may opt to start taking a multivitamin or targeted supplement to improve it. 

Yes, for the first 18-20 weeks of pregnancy the baby cannot produce thyroid hormones, so is dependent on the mother’s thyroid hormones to regulate its developing metabolism. The mother’s thyroid health is important to a healthy pregnancy.

Yes, there is no reason you cannot take the Thyroid Test while on your period.

No, medications will not interfere with the accuracy of the test. However, your results may reflect the impacts that medication or vitamin supplementation may have on your blood biomarkers. 

No, supplementation will not interfere with the accuracy of the test. However, your results may reflect the impacts that medication or vitamin supplementation may have on your blood biomarkers.
