I'm wondering if a TSH level of 12.20 Micro IUmL is considered normal or high? If it is high, how many micrograms should a 33-year-old woman take to manage it? Could you give me some guidance?

Elevated Bilirubin and Liver Enzymes _Interpretation_ 1. _Total Bilirubin_: Above 1.5 mgdL is mildly elevated. 2. _SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT)_: Above 50 UL is mildly elevated. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Liver inflammation_: Mild elevation in liver enzymes can indicate liver inflammation. 2. _Bile duct obstruction_: Elevated bilirubin can indicate bile duct obstruction or liver dysfunction. 3. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications can cause elevated liver enzymes. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, or autoimmune hepatitis. _Recommendations_ 1. _Repeat tests_: Repeat liver function tests (LFTs) and bilirubin levels to confirm the elevations. 2. _Imaging studies_: Consider ultrasound or MRI of the liver and bile ducts to rule out obstruction or structural abnormalities. 3. _Autoimmune and viral markers_: Test for autoimmune hepatitis and viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B and C) to rule out underlying infections. 4. _Medication review_: Review your medications with your doctor to determine if any are contributing to the elevated liver enzymes. 5. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. _Quantity Follow-Up_ 1. _Regular monitoring_: Regularly monitor your LFTs and bilirubin levels to track any changes. 2. _Adjust frequency_: Adjust the frequency of follow-up appointments based on the stability of your test results.

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?

Maintain healthy life style and get yourself checked regularly for any underlying disease and appropriate management.

What if I stop eating sugar?

Eliminating sugar could directly affect your physical health, too. Never eating any form of sugar could result in nutrient deficiency, since many nutritious foods have naturally-occurring sugars. If you eliminated fruit, for example, you'd be missing out on many essential nutrients.
