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!

I'm taking the calcium and vitamin D because I have osteopenia and I'm trying to reverse it. Vitamin K is also supposed to help with absorption of those two. That's interesting about the magnesium glycinate--I do have trouble sleeping because of night sweats. I'll research the Superwoman blend too.
Ah yes.. Osteopenia. Just learned about that on a Huberman podcast. Understood! Yes... Very good things on magnesium. Dr. Berg had a video about it.
Clary sage in superwoman is excellent for hormones. I'm over 40 and my doc was impressed with my hormone levels. I use a progesterone oil too (wild yam extract)
I was messed up being on the pill for so long and didn't want to continue... And superwoman has really helped...been on it 3 years. I don't sell oils... Didn't believe in them until a few years ago.. Superwoman saved my sanity and energy. Good luck! Keep me posted if you do try all that.
