Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The most common pathology that causes hypothyroidism is Hashimoto thyroiditis, a chronic progressive disease. You should be aware that levothyroxine tablets should be taken life long and there is no other treatment. If you do not take tablets regularly the disease may be even life threatening. There are no foods or exercises to substitute the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
