Hypothyroidism occurs when the body produces inadequate thyroid hormones, affecting metabolism, energy, and overall wellness.
In this reel, Dr. Lijo George, Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine guides you through essential lifestyle practices for better thyroid management.
✔ Take your medication early morning on an empty stomach
✔ Maintain a 60–90 minute gap before breakfast to improve hormone absorption
✔ If you forget your dose, compensate cautiously in the following days
✔ Reduce high iodine intake and limit cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and other goitrogen-rich foods
✔ Monitor your thyroid with routine T3, T4, TSH tests
✔ Keep TSH below 2.5 to ensure your medication dosage is accurate
Consistent monitoring and awareness can prevent complications and help maintain stable thyroid hormone levels.
