Default Low-carb causes low thyroid?

I just had routine labs done at my doctor's office, and the results came back that my thyroid is "borderline." At this point dr just wants to watch it and see what happens.

Having started low carbing in August, I decided to do a google search. I found a few articles claiming that low carb diets can cause thyroid issues, and that I might not be eating enough seeds or starchy vegetables. I've also found articles that low-carb diets are used to treat low thyroid.

I've never had thyroid issues before, though my mother did. And it's possible this is nothing to be concerned about and my thyroid will work itself out. But at this point I'm just really confused about the relationship between low-carbing and thyroid and wondering if I need to change my diet up.

Any advice?
