The thyroid gland controls metabolism and energy, while blood lipid levels are directly linked to cardiovascular health. Any thyroid dysfunction can increase or decrease metabolic rate and affect cholesterol and triglyceride levels, increasing the risk of heart disease or obesity. With our thyroid and lipid testing package, you'll receive a comprehensive assessment of thyroid function and blood lipid levels, enabling you to protect your heart and maintain your weight and health.
