At last I have nutrients test results and wondered if you would comment on what you think I need to do next

I should add that I supplement with D3, folate and B12. I recently bought what I thought was ferritin but I’m unsure, so having started it I’ve discontinued use for now. I also take metavive and adrenavive and have done since Hashimoto’s diagnosis

Ideally, I like some help with losing these stubborn pounds and trying to get to my optimal levels of thyroid hormones and nutrients. Where do I need to be, I’m so confused? Also, since starting a progesterone cream, I’m slowing gaining ounces but I’m actually sleeping now which is a godsend after 21 years of insomnia but this weight, I really can’t be doing with gaining it. It it could also be the “ferritin” helping me sleep; I read in an amazon review that some people say it helps. Who knows but I’m loving this new-found sleeping ability!

I realise there are lots of questions here but I’d so appreciate your help

It says that folate should be above 5.38 which at 17.44 mine is but how much above 5.38 is a satisfactory amount?!!

I’m not concerned about my D3 being that high as I’m mixed-race and need it to be higher than Caucasian or lighter-skinned people

I can only get the one photo in so I’ll list the other results

FT3 4.6pmol/L (3.5-6.5)

FT4 13.1pmol/L (10.5-21)

TSH <0.03mU/L (0.35-5.5)

Please let me know if you can’t see the nutrients results photo and if you have any questions as I’m aware I might sound a little incoherent!

And thank you

I think it’s such a personal test to you it may be best to go over your results with a doctor or someone who is specifically qualified to comment.

If you are looking at losing a few pounds maybe try a vegan wholefood diet or speak to your doctor about cutting out carbs?

Sorry, I mean thyroid uk. For some reason it’s as though my posts are diverted here. This is the second time it’s happened. Sorry to have bothered you
