What can be done about high triglyceride and TSH levels?
Asked by Male, 47 · 2 months ago
High TSH usually indicates an underactive thyroid, which can also raise triglyceride levels. Bringing your TSH down to normal with thyroid hormone replacement therapy often helps lower triglycerides naturally. Additionally, eating a low-sugar, low-fat diet, limiting alcohol, and staying physically active are essential. If triglycerides remain high, your doctor may prescribe fibrates or omega-3 supplements.
