Many people are told their thyroid is “normal” — even when they still feel exhausted, foggy, cold, low in mood, or stuck in patterns of unexplained weight gain.
At Levitas, we take a different approach.
We don’t see thyroid health as just one gland and one blood test. We see it as a whole-body signal — influenced by stress, inflammation, gut health, nutrient levels, hormones, immune balance, and even genetics.
If you want your thyroid assessed to a higher standard — tailored to your symptoms and your biology — Levitas offers a holistic, regenerative approach across London and Surrey.
Why “Normal” TSH Isn’t Always the Full Story
Standard thyroid testing usually focuses mainly on:
- TSH
- T4
These tests can be helpful, but they don’t always explain symptoms.
That’s because thyroid health isn’t only about production — it’s also about how your body activates and uses thyroid hormones at tissue level.
Your thyroid system also depends on:
- Conversion (turning T4 into active T3)
- Cellular uptake (whether your cells can use thyroid hormone properly)
- Inflammation and stress signalling (which can reduce thyroid function)
- Autoimmunity (a very common driver of thyroid symptoms, often missed early)
So you can have “normal” TSH — and still experience symptoms of thyroid underperformance.
Advanced Thyroid Testing: Free T3, Reverse T3 & Thyroid Antibodies
At Levitas, we frequently go beyond basic tests, depending on your symptoms and history.
Free T3
Free T3 is your active thyroid hormone. It supports:
- metabolism and energy
- warmth and circulation
- brain clarity and mood
- digestion and gut motility
- hair and skin renewal
In many people, Free T3 gives the clearest insight into whether thyroid signalling is truly optimal.
Reverse T3
Reverse T3 can increase when the body is under chronic stress, inflammation, illness, poor sleep, or long-term calorie restriction. This may be associated with reduced availability of active thyroid hormone at the tissue level and can help explain ongoing symptoms even when standard results appear normal.
Thyroid Antibodies
Many thyroid problems are autoimmune in nature (such as Hashimoto’s). Antibody testing can identify this early — long before standard thyroid tests become clearly abnormal.
This matters because autoimmune thyroid conditions often require a whole-body support strategy, not just medication adjustment.
Why We Do Comprehensive Blood Screens Alongside Thyroid Testing
At Levitas, thyroid optimisation is never done in isolation.
We use comprehensive blood screens to look for collateral issues that commonly affect thyroid function and thyroid hormone conversion. These may include:
- Pnutrient patterns that affect thyroid signalling (such as iron status, vitamin D, selenium, zinc and B vitamins)
- Pinflammatory markers and immune strain
- Pliver and gut-related indicators linked to hormone processing and absorption
- Pstress-related patterns that may impact thyroid signalling
- Phormone imbalances (especially in women during perimenopause/menopause, and in men with fatigue patterns)
By looking at the wider biological picture, we can often identify why the thyroid is struggling — and what needs support for genuine improvement.
Common Symptoms We See (Even When TSH is “Normal”)
Thyroid symptoms can be broad — and they’re often dismissed as stress or ageing.
Common symptoms include:
- Pfatigue, burnout, low stamina
- Pbrain fog, low concentration
- Plow mood or anxiety
- Pfeeling cold easily
- Pweight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Pconstipation or slow digestion
- Pdry skin, hair thinning, brittle hair
- Plow motivation and reduced resilience
- Pcycle changes or heavier periods (in women)
- Preduced libido
At Levitas, we take these symptoms seriously and look for patterns that explain why your body is struggling.
Levitas: A Holistic Clinic That Looks for Root Causes
We view thyroid health as part of the entire system.
If the body is depleted, inflamed, stressed, or hormonally imbalanced, thyroid signalling often shifts. That’s why we consider thyroid results alongside:
- Pgut health and absorption
- Pnutrient sufficiency
- Pinflammation and immune burden
- Psleep and circadian rhythm
- Pstress load and recovery capacity
- Pfemale hormone balance (especially around menopause)
- Pmale hormone balance and vitality markers
This isn’t about chasing numbers — it’s about restoring function.
Natural Thyroid Support: Regenerative Strategies That Build Resilience
Many people want a more natural approach to thyroid support, and Levitas is built around this philosophy.
Depending on the individual, support may include:
- Pcorrecting micronutrient deficiencies
- Preducing inflammatory triggers
- Pimproving gut absorption and digestive function
- Psupporting sleep quality and circadian rhythm
- Prestoring nervous system resilience and recovery
- Ppersonalised lifestyle strategies that support metabolism and energy stability
Medication may still be appropriate for some individuals — but we aim to ensure it’s aligned with your symptoms, your biology, and your whole-body health.
Men’s Thyroid Health: Often Overlooked, Highly Important
Thyroid dysfunction is frequently missed in men — but it can strongly affect:
- Penergy and motivation
- Pmood and confidence
- Pbody composition and strength
- Plibido and sexual function
- Precovery from training and stress
- Ptestosterone response and hormonal balance
At Levitas, thyroid assessment is often part of broader men’s optimisation programmes, especially in men experiencing fatigue, stubborn weight gain, low resilience, or low testosterone symptoms.
Genetic Testing: Understanding Your Health Blueprint
Levitas also offers genetic testing, which can help explain why certain symptoms and patterns develop.
Genetic insights can support a more personalised plan by exploring predispositions in areas such as:
- thyroid conversion pathways
- inflammation and immune regulation
- detox and antioxidant systems
- nutrient utilisation
- hormonal metabolism
Genetics doesn’t determine your destiny — but it can provide clarity and precision in treatment planning.
We Work With Specialists Who Support a Holistic Approach
Levitas is built around integrated care.
We work with specialists who share this philosophy — clinicians who look beyond isolated markers and focus on how the whole system operates. When appropriate, we coordinate with:
- hormone specialists
- nutrition and metabolic experts
- functional and integrative clinicians
- regenerative medicine practitioners
Because the best results come from a joined-up plan.
