http://bit.ly/drclarkthyroid Finding out you have a “positive” Thyroid Antibody (TPO/Thyroid peroxidase) test can be scary and confusing. In this video Dr. Clark explains:

• What are Thyroid Antibodies like TPO Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin?
• Why are Thyroid Antibodies tested?
• What do Thyroid antibodies test results mean? How to interpret them.
• What to do if your thyroid antibodies test results are positive

Do you still have these low thyroid symptoms? You could have Hashimoto’s.
• Fatigue
• Hair loss
• Dry Skin
• Constipation
• Depression
• Brain Fog
• Weight Gain
• Infertility

New uploads on “Neuro-Metabolic Mondays” and “Thyroid Thursdays”

I made this channel because millions of people are suffering with chronic neurological and metabolic problems like autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and vertigo/dizziness/balance problems. These men, women and children need someone they can trust to keep up to date with current research and scientific findings…and make this complex information easy to understand and use.

You can expect videos covering these topics (among others):
• Hashimoto’s and Low Thyroid/Hypothyroidism
• Autoimmune conditions (ANA antibodies, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease)
• Long COVID, Post COVID Autoimmunity
• Neurodevelopmental Problems (Autism Spectrum Disorders, Seizures)
• Vertigo, Meniere’s Disease and other vestibular, dizziness and balance problem
• Neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Disease)
• Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity, Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity

If you’ve had thyroid function tests and received the results, this easy-to-understand short animation explains what they are measuring and what you are likely to see on the form.

These are blood tests used to check how your thyroid is working. They measure thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, Thyroxine or T4 and Triiodothyronine or T3

The thyroid gland is found at the base of the neck. It produces thyroid hormones and releases them into the bloodstream. They control your body’s metabolism and regulate things like your heart rate and body temperature. It is important that your thyroid hormones levels are not too high or low and that they are kept in an even balance. If your T4 levels are low you may feel tired or experience weight gain. This is called Hypothyroidism . If your T4 levels are too high everything runs at a faster rate. You may experience heat intolerance or weight loss. This is Hyperthyroidism. There is a feedback mechanism to make sure levels remain stable. The pituitary gland controls T4 levels. WhenT4 levels are too low it releases more TSH. WhenT4 levels are too high it releases less TSH. In the blood sample sent to the lab we measure TSH, Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Free Triiodothyronine (FT3).
