Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.

I'm looking at these numbers on my health report and I'm a bit concerned. My GGT level is 130, which I know isnt great. I dont drink, and I try to keep a fairly healthy lifestyle. I had a baby about a year ago and recently recovered from Covid. Also, my T4 level is showing as 3.8, which seems low, and my Vitamin B12 is high. Could this be from the postnatal vitamins I was taking, which I've stopped now? Id really appreciate your advice on what could be going on.

GGT level of 130, as it may indicate liver stress or bile duct issues, potentially related to postpartum hormonal changes, COVID-19 infection, or other factors, and also review your thyroid function, as a low T4 level of 3.8 may suggest hypothyroidism, although your Vitamin B12 levels are high, likely due to postnatal supplements get s liver function tests, thyroid antibody tests, or an ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
