I had a thyroid test done and my TSH came back.......

slightly elevated at 5.74 but my T4 was normal at 1.1, which labels me as having subclinical hypothyroidism. In doing my research on this I have come across MANY studies stating that those who eat soy products have a higher chance at getting hypothyroidism. I am a vegetarian and I eat soy on a daily basis for the past 8 years. I was told that 95% of doctors would not have told me about my elevated TSH level because it is so small. I am afraid of getting denied by my insurance because of this. Any help or info would be appreciated.
