So I went to the doctor

So, I went to the doctor... he said,  "Well there is a lot going on with you. It's a good thing or bad thing depending on how you look at it." I said, "It's good because now I know what I have to deal with." He agreed.

We went over my blood work and it was all a little much to all take in. First off I'm Vitamin D deficient. (Okay.)
Low on B12. (Okay.)
My body thinks it's staving. (What?) So basically everything I eat, it tries to conserve it into fat. (Oh...that's why I can't lose weight.) But wait..there's more.
I found out I have Grave's disease. He suspected that I had hypothyroidism, but alas no. I'm an overweight person with hyperthyroidism. (Why couldn't I be thin and like normal people with this?) He assures me that this is not my fault. Most doctors do that apparently; blame the patient. He pointed to my blood work and said, this proves it not your fault. That made me feel a little better.
Sex hormone is way off too, but didn't go much into that yet. (It could be related to my thyroid.)

Positives to blood work:
Glucose - Good
Cortisol- Good
Cholesterol- Good
Do not have sticky blood- Good
Liver- Good

So where do I do from here? Now what?

  • Supplements (if I choose to take them) 
  • Thyroid medicine
  • Autoimmune Paleo Diet (should help with 60%-70% of problem)
  • Fasting diet to help trick my metabolism
  • Go back to doctor in 10 weeks
