Are My Thyroid Gland & Lymph Nodes Normal?
The ultrasound report indicates that your thyroid gland is within normal size and structure, with a small cyst and two benign colloid nodules, which are generally harmless.

While these findings are generally not alarming, it’s wise to discuss them with your endocrinologist to ensure that monitoring or further evaluation is appropriate.

Are Flaxseeds Beneficial for Estrogen Dominance? Reasons.
Flaxseeds may support hormonal balance, particularly in those experiencing symptoms like mood swings, irregular periods, or fatigue, often related to high estrogen levels. They contain lignans, which can promote healthy estrogen metabolism. Potential causes of estrogen dominance include stress, obesity, or certain medications. Incorporating flaxseeds into your diet—such as adding them to smoothies or yogurt—could be beneficial. However, it’s always wise to consult a physician before making significant changes, as they can provide personalized advice and ensure that any underlying issues are appropriately addressed.

Should I Take Magnesium, Zinc, and K2 for Vitamin D Deficiency?
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to symptoms like fatigue, bone pain, and muscle weakness. Your lab result indicates a significant low level, and starting 5,000 IU daily is a common approach for repletion. It's essential to monitor calcium levels, as excessive vitamin D can contribute to calcification. Adding magnesium, zinc, or vitamin K2 may support overall health, but it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes. They can tailor a plan based on your specific needs and ensure safe supplementation. Regular check-ups are important for monitoring progress and adjusting dosages as needed.
