Thyroid insight test
Ongoing fatigue, dry skin, or hair thinning are common reasons to look at thyroid function. Rather than testing TSH and free T4 separately, this test starts with TSH and automatically adds free T4 only if levels come back abnormal.

What is a Thyroid Insight Test?
Thyroid function screening
TSH is the most sensitive first-line marker for thyroid dysfunction — an elevated level suggests an underactive thyroid, while a suppressed level points to an overactive one, both of which affect energy, metabolism, mood, and weight.
Automatic deeper insight when needed
If TSH is abnormal, Free T4 is automatically tested on the same sample — revealing how much active thyroid hormone is circulating and providing the context needed to guide next steps without a return visit.
Medication monitoring
For people already on levothyroxine or other thyroid medications, TSH and Free T4 together confirm whether the current dose is keeping thyroid function in the optimal range.

TSH with Reflex to Free T4
This test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to check how well your thyroid is running—it controls energy and metabolism. If TSH is off, it automatically tests Free T4, a key hormone, to dig deeper into what’s causing symptoms like tiredness or weight changes.
