was ist tsh wert — what can you do yourself?

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is a key marker for thyroid function. Elevated TSH often indicates hypothyroidism, while low TSH suggests hyperthyroidism. What you can do yourself: Maintain a balanced diet with adequate iodine (e.g., fish, iodized salt) and selenium (e.g., nuts, eggs). Reduce stress, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. However, self-help measures cannot replace medical evaluation. If your TSH is abnormal, consult a doctor (GP or endocrinologist) to determine the cause and discuss treatment (e.g., levothyroxine). Do not take supplements without professional advice.
