Too High: The TSH level is far too high, indicating your thyroid is not sending out enough thyroid hormone to support your body. Signs and symptoms will be expected to progress without thyroid supplementation such as with Synthroid. Food and exercise change would not help with this. It is fortuitous that typically only a very low amount of thyroid replacement is necessary for most people.

Not so easy to do!!: High TSH indicates that your Thyroid is not producing enough hormone(Thyroxine). This can only be corrected by taking a daily pill of Thyroxine from your PCP. No amount of Diet or Exercise will influence/ or solve this problem. Let us not fight with mother nature! Go see your doctor and seek medication to correct your problem which can become serious if you do not do what I have said.
