Why do I have symptoms when my bloodwork looks normal?
If your labs look normal and you’re experiencing thyroid symptoms, you may require more comprehensive testing to uncover the root of your symptoms. Thyroid symptoms are sometimes connected to inflammation, liver function and autoimmune responses such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.
Cellular inflammation
Cellular inflammation can be caused by exposure to heavy metals or toxins present in the body. When cells become inflamed, hormone receptors on the surface of the cell aren’t as effective. Your cells can’t receive signals from the thyroid which leads to thyroid illness.
The liver
If your liver is not processing thyroid hormones correctly, then your body cannot receive signals from the hormone.
Reverse thyroid hormone
This hormone works against traditional thyroid hormone. This hormone is typically produced when a person is sick to conserve energy. However, high levels of stress can signal the body to start producing reverse thyroid hormone, which can block the thyroid from functioning correctly.
