View allI'm really worried about my TSH level, which is at 36.28. I've felt super depressed and can't stop wanting to eat more. I'm currently on a 100 mcg tablet, but should I be thinking about increasing it? I try to exercise daily for about 30 to 40 minutes. Since I'm staying in a hostel, what kind of food choices should I be making to help get my thyroid under control? Also, I can't seem to lose any weight. Any advice?

I'm 40 and my fasting sugar levels are usually around 110. I'm really committed to both intense cardio and strength workouts, and I'm sticking to a low-carb and low-fat diet. I'm really hoping to get my fasting sugar down into the 90s. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could do to achieve that?
