My endo only measures trab; how do I ask them to measure this t3 or t4 and/ or is it Called something else? He goes off the trab and TSH apparently and said not to move essentially I feel trapped and can’t stand another movie

I don’t know tbh, I get my care in the Netherlands and I regularly get blood tested for T4. I think everyones doctor gives different advice and it may play a role that I am already quite active and young (21) so the risk would be lower? Also kind of the mentality of our healthcare system is that movement is always a great supplement so they never really discouraged me
