  If you are considering supplementing with DHEA: here is a reminder

  Peatbot.com: Young people produce about 12 to 15 milligrams of DHEA per day. This amount decreases by about 2 mg per day for every decade after the age of 30. By the age of 50, about 4 mg of DHEA per day is usually sufficient to restore the level of DHEA in the blood to a youthful level. In old age, the production of DHEA decreases significantly, to about 5% of the levels produced in youth.

  Peatbot.com: Taking supraphysiological levels of DHEA long term can lead to several adverse effects. One potential issue is the enlargement of the liver, as DHEA can stimulate liver growth and is highly carcinogenic to the liver. It can also cause an increase in estrogen levels, which may lead to an imbalance in hormone levels and associated side effects. In some cases, this can result in liver problems and an increased risk of liver cancer. Additionally, excessive DHEA can lead to masculinizing effects in women, such as the growth of facial hair. It is important to avoid taking more DHEA than needed, as excess amounts can disturb the function of the thymus gland and the liver.

  @lykos, what LucH said. Along with fatigue and poor copper metabolism, having low iron despite adequate intake is another sign of an under-active thyroid. Despite my intake of iron-rich foods like red meat and supplementing with food-based iron, my ferritin was down to 6 and didn’t budge until I started taking thyroid (Armour). I was also diagnosed with mold toxicity and gut dysbiosis (SIBO), which cleared up when I targeted my thyroid. To rule out your symptoms being thyroid related, if you haven’t done so already, you may find it useful to track your temps (including extremities) first thing in the morning, and before and 20–30 minutes after you eat, and also your pulse rate, for two weeks. And in case you haven’t read it, here is Ray Peat’s article on TSH, temperature, pulse rate, and other indicators in hypothyroidism:

  @PranaDeva I like to snack on parmesan, pickled cucumber, raisins, apples, dried mango. A few sticks of parmesan is tasty and good for teeth. Dried fruit is tasty but not so good for teeth.
