"Only looking at TSH assumes the body is operating normally and that no other issues are at play, which is a drastic oversimplification of the bodily process. In fact, a 2018 study found that screening for thyroid issues using a TSH test can actually miss hypothyroidism. Therefore, a normal TSH level does not ensure the thyroid is operating normally...The most comprehensive view of your thyroid's function includes direct tests of T3 and T4 levels, as well as thyroid antibodies and Reverse T3 or rT3."
