I got a complete body profile test and found that my hemoglobin and RBC are below average. Please tell me how to increase them. My serum triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol are above average; please tell me how to decrease them. My thyroid is under control because of medications, but if possible, can you tell me how to manage thyroid without medications? I have attached my report. Please give me your advice on how I can keep everything under control? Thank you.

Improve iron intake (leafy greens, supplements), avoid sugar/fried food for lipids. Thyroid control without meds is rare, continue monitoring.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test
