I posted here last November about bloodwork I had done that showed elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, indicating hypothyroidism. Of course the medical professional (RN) I was seeing at the time wanted to put me on Levothyroxine. I resisted, started taking a kelp supplement thanks to the recommendation of the good people on this board, and this year my TSH is well within the normal range. However, unfortunately, now my cholesterol numbers are high, particularly triglycerides, so if anyone has ideas how to get that under control I would appreciate the help. In any case, thanks Great Awakening! Edit to add: The doctor wants me to try diet and exercise for 3 months and then retest cholesterol. So no prescriptions for now. Again, you people are wonderful!

Male here. We have been supplementing iodine and cofactors (likely what the kelp is providing you). For triglycerides I’ve been taking berberine. About to switch to inositol (DCI) to help control blood sugar. My brother has had great success with it, shedding pounds, albeit with exercise.
Lugols brand iodine is what you need. Add a few drops to your coffee every morning and watch as your fat melts off
That’s what we have.

Since I've had my thyroid removed, would iodine or a combination of herbs help? I am not concerned about cholesterol as my numbers are decent.
