If it turns out I am hypothyroid, are there natural remedies? I truly want to avoid drugs.
Thank you for your input!

There are some natural remedies. Natural dessicated thyroid is just a purified natural thyroid extract and not pharmaceutical concoction. Other remedies such as iodine may help, but it's important to understand the nature of the issue first to ensure that you don't cause more harm.
I don't have time to scrutinize the labs right now, but there's a great resource here that reviews thyroid labs and indicates optimal levels.
