Can I improve thyroid hormone levels without medication?

Back to FAQs

Lifestyle, supplements, and diet can support thyroid health, but they are unlikely to correct a true thyroid hormone deficiency. For many patients, ongoing medication is the most effective way to restore normal thyroid hormone levels. This is especially true if the thyroid does not produce any hormones due to surgery, damage, or disease.
