can hypothyroidism be reversed without medication - #26423

Myra

I am really confused about my health situation! For the past year, I've been feeling super tired, gaining weight, and having really dry skin. I went to my doc, and they did some blood tests and turns out I have hypothyroidism. I've been reading a lot about it, but I can't help but wonder: can hypothyroidism be reversed without medication? I mean, I’ve heard some people say that if you change your diet, do exercise, and manage stress, maybe it can go away?? I tried cutting back on gluten and sugar, but it's so hard, and honestly, I don't see a huge change. Like, really, can hypothyroidism be reversed without medication? I mean, it seems like everyone just goes straight for the meds, but I am worried about side effects and want to avoid taking pills long-term if I can. Also, I tried yoga and some supplements but had no clue if they actually made any difference. I guess what I'm really asking is, are there legit success stories out there where folks were able to get off their meds through lifestyle changes? Can hypothyroidism be reversed without medication, or am I just chasing a dream here? I'm just looking for some hope or insight, thanks!
