Can I order this test on its own?

Most labs can be ordered on their own with the “Lab Only” option, which includes a general results review. If you’d like your results personally reviewed — with a written Root Cause Report and personalized 12-week protocol — explore the 12-Week Program. Either way, add Tiffeny Parker as your practitioner when you register your kit so I can see your results.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. Functional lab testing is educational and is used to guide nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategy. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Always work with your licensed healthcare provider for medical concerns.

How long do results take?

Most kits are collected at home in a single day and returned by prepaid mail. Results typically take about 2–4 weeks, depending on the panel.

Targeted Single-Marker Tests

Thyroid TSH Test

Also known as: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

The brain's signal to the thyroid — a quick screen.

How to get this lab ↓

TSH is the message your brain sends to tell the thyroid to make more hormone. It's a useful quick screen, but it doesn't show how well thyroid hormone is converted or whether antibodies are present — the Thyroid Panel Test gives the full picture.

What it measures

What's measured

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)Rises when the brain senses too little thyroid hormone; falls when there's plenty.

Who this is for

A simple first check when you have mild thyroid-type symptoms and want a starting point.

What results can reveal

Whether your brain is pushing the thyroid harder than usual
Whether a full thyroid panel may be worthwhile

How we interpret it

We read every panel through a functional lens — optimal reference ranges, ratios, and cross-panel patterns. Results become part of your written Root Cause Report and your personalized 12-week protocol.

We read TSH alongside your HTMA calcium/potassium ratio, and if anything looks off we suggest the full Thyroid Panel Test to check conversion and antibodies.

Often paired with

Minerals & Metals Test

Cellular mineral status and heavy metal burden — the foundation of the Method.

Thyroid Panel Test

More than TSH — the full thyroid pathway, including antibodies.

Common questions

Not sure which panels you need?

Start with the Root-Cause Fit Assessment. Takes about 3–5 minutes. If it looks like we're a good fit, you'll be invited to schedule a 45-minute consultation to discuss your health history, goals, and whether this program is the right next step for you.
