What's your body temperature?
-
@scamp 36.4 in the evening is super low. If it’s a warm season where you live right now, it’s brutally low.

@GreekDemiGod what do you recommend? 'cause tyronene doesn't seem to do much. also what's your temperature?
-
I wake around 97.4 but climb to around 98.6 after a meal or 2
Why’s your diet like? I think building metabolism is a long term game that you cultivate over time.
Eating enough while maintaining good gut health is crucial. Also I found bag breathing and Buteyko can help my fingers and toes warm up. Sitting under a heat lamp. And even wearing warm clothes just to help get to that warm temp can be helpful. Tissues that are cold encourage inflammation according to Peat

@scamp 35 1/2 C in the morning

@scamp Measured my afternoon temp a few minutes ago at 98.6F, and that's with a forehead thermometer which is between 0.6-1F lower than oral. Morning temp was 98F (i.e. 98.6-99F). Feels good to tempmog.

@forty
97.8 in the morning. Most of the time 99F during the day. -
@forty what brand do you use? Have you compared to an oral thermometer? Thanks

@scamp said in What's your body temperature?:
I also find it interesting that more recent studies on average body temperature found it to be lower than 98.6 F/37.1 C.
The average person is not healthy. Ignore that.
Mine is 98.3° F in the morning and goes up to 99.3° F with coconut oil and dates.

Whats your diet? Masking the problem with supplements is not a good idea.
Also check out my older thread with some info on this. Maybe it will help.
Temperatures:But relying on temperature alone is not enough. I prefer to use two other free (or cheaper) proxies for testing thyroid status instead of the expensive thyroid panel (using TSH, T3, T4 and the reverse T3), as it's expensive (especially rT3, which conventional doctors don't use). The other three markers are used by conventional doctors, but are so inaccurate that it's easy to get a false negative on hypothyroidism.

@scamp, my temp averages 98.2°F/36.8°C first thing in the morning and rises to around 99°F/37.2°C by midday, my pulse rate averages in the upper 80s and my extremities, including my nose and ears, are warm. It’s important to take the latter two into account because adrenaline can raise our temp, leading us to think our thyroid function is better than it actually is. It can take time to see an improvement in temps when first supplementing thyroid—thyroid may even lower temps (and cause fatigue/relaxation) initially if the person was running on stress hormones prior to supplementation—and for some like myself, supplementing is not enough. It took a specific diet and macro ratio to get my temps and pulse rate up, since I was coming from a very sick state.

@Jennifer What were your dietary interventions and macro split like?
-
@BroJonas, my strategy was lots of simple sugar, salt and dairy, and my macro split was 60C/20P/20F. My diet consisted of fruit juice (mostly hot pear cider), fruit molasses, filtered honey, maple syrup, raw sugar, raw milk/shakes, crustless no bake cheesecake (mild yogurt strained until as thick as quark with Canadian prairie blossom honey, vanilla and salt), wildflower honey & vanilla bean ice cream, omelettes, crustless quiche, white chocolate & cinnamon covered sukkari dates, seared sea scallops and steamed crab with tupelo honey butter.
