Early stage of thyroid disease or just american diet?

I just went to doctor and she told me that my antibodies are a LITTLE over what is considered normal… but i might not really have the thyroid prob. She said that this might be due to AMERICAN diet… in addition to the weight gain i’m noticing. So basically I’m going to my country for couple of months to eat the healthy and traditionally cooked diet and she said when i come back I’ll have to do the blood tests again for antibodies and stuff. So my question is… If your at an early stage of thyroid…could you be treated with just basic diet adjustment instead of taking medications?
