—Your thyroid test shows a slightly high TSH, while your Free T4 is normal, which may suggest **mild or early **. Since it is mild, we usually recommend lifestyle support first: maintaining a balanced diet with enough iodine, selenium (like Brazil nuts, eggs, fish), regular exercise, good sleep, and stress management. We should repeat the thyroid test in about 6–8 weeks to see if levels return to normal. If symptoms like fatigue continue or TSH increases, further evaluation or treatment may be needed —Rx Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tab BD after food Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tab BD after food Punarnava Mandur – 1 tab BD after food Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water BD before food —Diet Advice Use iodized salt, include eggs, nuts, seeds Avoid excess curd, fried food, refined sugar Take warm water, light diet —Lifestyle Continue strength training Add 30 min brisk walking / yoga daily Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, Sarvangasana —Follow-up Repeat thyroid profile after 3 months

✓Top priorities Selenium Eat 2 Brazil nuts daily (~100–200 mcg selenium) – do NOT exceed 3–4 nuts OR supplement: 100–200 mcg selenium (selenomethionine form) once daily ✓Optimize iodine (moderate, not excess) Use iodized salt for cooking 1–2 small fish servings/week (if non-veg) or seaweed snack once/week Avoid high-dose iodine supplements (>500 mcg/day) – can worsen hypothyroidism ✓Zinc & iron Zinc: 15–30 mg/day (with food) or pumpkin seeds 1 tbsp/day Iron: cooked spinach/amaranth + lemon squeeze, pomegranate, dates ✓Test ferritin + zinc if possible (common deficiencies in women) ✓Vitamin D (very common deficiency in hypo) 2000–4000 IU D3 daily (test level first – aim 40–60 ng/mL) ✓Ashwagandha – 500 mg night (KSM-66 or Sensoril) Helps fatigue, stress-related TSH elevation & supports T4 → T3 conversion ✓Lifestyle & training tweaks Continue strength training 5×/week – excellent for insulin sensitivity & metabolism Add 20–30 min brisk walking daily (post-meal best – lowers TSH & improves T3) Sleep 7–9 hours (TSH rises with poor sleep) Stress: 10 min Anulom-Vilom or Bhramari pranayama daily ✓Diet focus Reduce gluten (trial 4–6 weeks – many improve) Add daily: turmeric (½ tsp + black pepper), ginger, cooked cruciferous veg (broccoli/cauliflower – well-cooked only) Keep protein high (your training needs it) – eggs, paneer, lentils, fish if non-veg Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

HELLO, Your lab values suggest mild/subclinical hypothyroid tendencyy -TSH =4.9 (slightly elevated) -FREE T4= 14.1 (within normal range) This pattern often responds well to lifestyle + Ayurvedic correction, especially since symptoms are recent 3-6 months. Your fatigue and difficulty losing weight indicate kapha-vata imbalance with mild metabolism weakness in Ayurveda terms DIET Improve agni and reduce Kapha -warm, freshly cooked meals -millets= ragi, bajra, jowar -Light grains= red rice, quinoa -moong dal, massor dal -Cooked vegetables = bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, carrots -spices that stimulates thyroid metabolism -cumin -coriander -turmeric -ginger -black pepper -cinnamon -1 tsp ghee daily FOODS THAT SUPPORT THYROID -Soaked almonds 4-5 -pumpkin seeds -coconut -curry leaves -amla AVOID -excess soy -raw cruciferous vegetables- cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower in excess -refined sugar -bakery foods -cold smoothies -excess dairy -fried food INTERNAL MEDICATION MORNING EMPTY STOMACH -Warm water + 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder AFTER BREAKFAST -KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals -AFTER LUNCH -PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab NIGHT -ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp in warm milk THESE -improves thyroid hormone conversion -boosts metabolism -reduces fatigue -supports weight balance LIFESTYLE SLEEP -Sleep by 10:30 pm -7-8 hours required for thyroid hormone balance SUN EXPOSURE -15-20 minutes morning sunlight HYDRATION -2-2.5 L warm water daily YOGA FOR THYROID STIMULATION Practice 20-30 minutes daily -sarvangasana -matsyasana -bhujangasana -setu bandhasana -ustrasana These stimulate the thyroid gland circulation PRANAYAM Very important for endocrine balance -Ujjayi pranayam=5 minutes -Nadi sodhana= 10 minutes -Bhramari= 7 rounds WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TIPS Your BMI ~ 26.8 (mild overnight) which can worsen thyroid symptoms HELPFUL HABITS -Finish dinner before 7:30Pm -walk 15 minutes after meals -add 1 tsp apple cider vinegar in warm water before lunch -keep strength training excellent for thyroid -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for digestion EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT TIMELINE -Energy improves= 3-4 weeks -TSH Improvement= 8-12 weeks -Weight loss becomes easier= 6-10 weeks Since you already do strength training 5 times/week, you are doing one of the best things for thyroid health DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU
