Not sure where to start with husbands results, help please!

[RachelP03]

Hello, my husband has done some testing recently with Thriva and also regenerus cortisol. He is basically exhausted and unable to function normally. Clearly he has low cortisol but his DHEA is high which seems odd. Also, his FT4 is lowish at 29% through range and FT3 at 51% through range. His cholesterol is also on the upward trend and for a 37 yo is pretty high.

I wonder if someone would be able to shed some light on this for us and help us to understand where to start.

Many thanks.

Is he currently diagnosed as hypothyroid and on levothyroxine or any other replacement thyroid medication

Has he had Covid or long Covid

Thank you for your reply.

No, on no medication currently and no diagnosis but his Mother has hypo for family history.

He has not had COVID as far as we are aware.

Thanks

TSH is slightly higher than average but be almost impossible to get diagnosed as hypothyroid with TSH under 5

Ft4 is slightly low

Thyroid antibodies are negative

20% of Hashimoto's patients never have raised antibodies

You might consider an ultrasound scan of thyroid
