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!

Thanks! Please tell me more about the D3/K2 ratio. My Vitamin D tested at 61 this year, it was 69 last year. I take 50,000 IU D3 once a week, and then I get 800 IU D3 with a calcium supplement I take. I take 100 mcg K2 daily. I have osteopenia so I am concerned about getting calcium to my bones. I also drink milk so get about 500 mg per day and my calcium supplement is 1000 mg.
