Evidence check: TSH Schilddrüse in the context of Abnehmen

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is a key marker of thyroid function. It is linked to weight changes: low TSH suggests hyperthyroidism (often weight loss), high TSH suggests hypothyroidism (often weight gain). However, in euthyroid individuals, TSH is not a reliable predictor of weight loss success. MyBody-X offers thyroid hormone tests (TSH, free T3/T4), but results are subject to circadian variation and are not diagnostic. The evidence for using TSH to guide weight loss is based on clinical practice, not robust trials. Caveat: a normal TSH does not rule out subclinical dysfunction; medical follow-up is needed for abnormal values. MyBody-X DNA tests do not include thyroid-related SNPs. In summary, TSH can provide context but cannot guarantee or predict weight reduction.
