There are several things things you can do to help control hypothyroidism if you have it. It’s important that you and your doctor monitor your hormone levels to make sure that you’re getting the correct dosage of your medications. Be sure to tell your doctor about any other drugs you’re taking, because they may affect how your body absorbs thyroid hormones.

You should also pay attention to your diet, as well as any dietary supplements you may take. Too much soy or fiber or excessive supplementation of iron or calcium can interfere with your hypothyroidism medications.
