Dear Peat er's, I am a 35 yo male and new forum member. Recently got my blood test results as indicated below. Doctor says I'm borderline Hypothyroid but refrained from starting any thyroid medicines until after a new test is done 6 months later. Would be really grateful if you think I should try removing excess iron from my system through chelation techniques suggested in prior posts (Cilantro, Kimchi, Zinc, Milk). Also, I understand Hypothyroid is considerable slowing down of metabolic rate, what are some of best tried and tested techniques (Diet, Supplements) you can suggest to bring it back up.
