*Lifestyle Changes*

1. *Diet*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, and iodized salt.
2. *Selenium-rich foods*: Include selenium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and fish to support thyroid function.
3. *Regular exercise*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to improve overall health.
4. *Stress management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

*Monitoring and Follow-up*

1. *Regular TSH tests*: Schedule follow-up TSH tests every 6-8 weeks to monitor treatment progress.
2. *Adjust medication as needed*: Work with your doctor to adjust your medication dosage based on TSH test
