A comment from an RN I consulted on your data - The information is confusing. T4 is the level of thyroxin and T3 is the level of triodothronine. Usually both are up rather than one up and one down. I don’t know where she got the Pituitary & Hypothalamus numbers. I don’t think she needs to research it medically, do you?
Answer from Mukunda - Should you wish to understand this scientifically you will need either a good scientific training or scientist medical person who is willing to take the time to explain it to you. I find that only medical people can understand such language and if you want medical training so that Yoga can be useful in this worldview then pursue it. To my way of thinking only a person trained as Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., in psychoneuroimmunology and trained by me and others as a yogini could overlap these two worlds. For most people I recommend learning more about Yoga and Ayurveda as there is much more advanced training relevant to yogic worldview of the causes of suffering.
Since I am not trained as a medical technician or specialist such information is rarely helpful to me, except as a pointer of where to look in my own way. My analysis is based on an assessment of the physical body - flexibility, strength, posture; and subtle bodyreading of the 5 pranas, Ayurvedic dosha analysis of the pulse, and other factors from my spiritual training. Without this I rely on accurate verbal commentary and my intuitive gifts.
The major practice I would recommend without seeing the client is half Shoulderstand (more correctly called Viparita Karani Mudra) as is shown in my book, Structural Yoga Therapy. Preparation is needed by doing cat bows (pushups), bridge, and upward legs in that order. Follow-up pose is abdominal twist lying. The sequence is given in my book. Every practice is to be done as long as she can tolerate and counting breaths so that regularity could be established. After 2-3 weeks a difference will be clearly felt. If she were to consult me directly I could be giving much more accurate analysis and recommendations.
