Brief Answer:
Follow up

Detailed Answer:
thanks for the follow up.

I really think the only thing that I would do would be to focus on good diet and exercise. Healthy eating in adequate rest are important as well. Otherwise there are no particular things I would do or consider to help improve the blood test. Sometimes overactive thyroid is something that we cannot control completely.

Please follow up with your doctor for further testing.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
