““That’s the thing Neeti, most of us get put on medication a tad bit aggressively. By that I mean that we are put on medication the minute one blood test shows that TSH is higher than 5 and in some cases just higher than 3, even when t4 and t3 readings are in range, and also the lipid profile or the glycaemic control is measured as HbA1c. We start the medication in full faith but fail to correct the lifestyle factors that caused the TSH to go up in the first place. What is required really is extensive counselling for a complete lifestyle overhaul and that starts with one step””
