Thyroid Function

I would monitor vitamin D regularly (as both vitamin D-OH25 and vitamin D 1,25). For those with cancer history, I like to see the results between 55 & 80 ng/ml. Supplement if low. Vitamin D has an impact on overall body function, cancer survival, blood sugar metabolism, thyroid health, etc. In the NY/NJ area, our latitude is too high to make vitamin D from around now through Feb/March. So, winter is an important time to check it and supplement as needed.
B vitamin complex (all 8 of them) is also important, to make red blood cells, make some neurotransmitters, help clear excess estrogen, etc. As a water-soluble vitamin, much of the B family is lost during stress. So, this should be taken on a daily basis. You need to take this with food in your stomach, or it will make you nauseous otherwise.
Omega-3 from fish/krill/ or plankton sources is another crucial supplement, an essential fat. We do not make this nutrient, and need it for many essential bodily functions. It protects the brain, forms part of each cell membrane, is a systemic anti-inflammatory and is cancer-protective. Dosage varies with need.
Depending on your thyroid situation, you may also need selenium, iodine or tyrosine. Or, if you have an autoimmune thyroid component, I would add herbs to balance immune over-response.
You might want to add a multi, some antioxidants, and a cal-mag with k. Your choice of additional supplements would be expanded as your labs indicate. As for overall well-being, I'd bring in adaptogen herbs, anti-cancer herbs/supplements as needed, to protect from overall stress, add immune-support, and all selected for your unique constitution. This could be fine-tuned based on a thorough assessment. I would monitor vitamin D regularly (as both vitamin D-OH25 and vitamin D 1,25).
