This informative video sheds light on the often overlooked but crucial aspect of thyroid health. Various longstanding health issues, from autoimmunity to cardiovascular disease, can be linked to an underperforming thyroid. The video discusses traditional thyroid panel tests, emphasizing the limitations of reference ranges in providing a complete picture of thyroid functionality. It introduces an at-home diagnostic test, the “Barnes Basal Temperature Test,” which involves measuring body temperature over three days. A temperature below 97.8 degrees indicates hypothyroidism, while temperatures above 98.2 degrees suggest a hyperthyroid condition. The video offers valuable insights into understanding thyroid health beyond conventional testing methods.
