Q. (Paraphrased) TSH is higher than I'd like, Vit D is lower than I'd like, and I'm not sure what to make of the high thyroglobulin antibodies?
A. Prolonged stimulation by TSH promotes inflammation, and that leads to formation of antibodies. When TSH is normalized, the antibodies tend to subside over a period of several months. The low vitamin D contributes to an inflammatory state; keeping calcium intake high relative to phosphate supports vitamin D and thyroid functions.
Q. Do you think calcium intake relative to phosphate needs to be high on a meal-by-meal basis, or over the course of a day or week?
A. The mineral absorption is fairly slow, so I think the day’s average is what matters.
