Thyroid Assessment: Beyond Standard Testing
Introduction
The thyroid gland, despite its small size, has a profound influence
on nearly every physiological system in the body.
At Rockwell's Doctorate of Functional Medicine program, we
recognize that conventional approaches to thyroid assessment
often fall short in identifying subclinical dysfunction and addressing
the root causes of thyroid-related disorders.
This comprehensive lesson presents the Rockwell approach to
thyroid evaluation, which integrates standard laboratory measures
with a deeper understanding of thyroid physiology and functional
assessment.
Learning Objectives
By the completion of this lesson, Rockwell practitioners will be able
to:
1. Describe the complex regulatory network governing thyroid
function, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis
