November 13, 2025

In this episode of SHE Talks Health, Sophie Shepherd wraps up her Thyroid Thursday mini-series by breaking down the three foundational labs she believes every woman should start with:

Functional Blood Chemistry Panel – uncover nutrient deficiencies, thyroid markers, and inflammation with tighter functional ranges.
GI Map Stool Test – detect pathogens, gut inflammation, and gluten sensitivity.
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) – identify stress patterns, adrenal function, and mineral imbalances.

Sophie also dives into optional advanced tests (like Organic Acids and Mycotoxins), plus simple at-home tools such as basal body temperature and resting pulse tracking to monitor thyroid function naturally.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and get real answers, Sophie shares how her She Thrives One-to-One Coaching Program combines these labs with customized protocols, coaching, and support to create a holistic roadmap for thyroid recovery.
