Dear sister, your diagnosis of Autoimmune disorder is simply a result of certain actions that might have been against the physiological process.
From circadian rhythm disruption to EMF.
Understanding the cause of the inflammatory process in thyroid requires a thorough Lifestyle scan including food snd other medications and environmental change.

Your report suggests autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimotoâs thyroiditis) â that means your body is producing antibodies (anti-TPO 261 IU/mL) against thyroid tissue. Since your T3, T4, TSH, and FT4 are normal, your thyroid is still functioning well, and no medication is needed right now. Small multiple TR3 nodules are benign-looking and commonly seen in chronic thyroiditis. They only need ultrasound follow-up every 6-12 months or earlier if symptoms (neck swelling, pain, voice change) appear.
Diet and lifestyle:
1. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
2. Ensure adequate selenium (from nuts like Brazil nuts) and zinc (from seeds, lentils).
3. Avoid excessive raw cabbage, cauliflower, or soy daily - occasional use is fine.
4. Stop smoking if applicable, and manage stress, as both can worsen autoimmunity.
5. If future TSH rises above normal or symptoms like tiredness, cold intolerance, or weight gain appear, thyroid hormone therapy may be started.
