Having consistently good temps and pulse in the winter on Novothyral. Brand/ product matters a lot.
I was getting inconsistent results when taking Levotiron from Turkish brand (abdi ibrahim).Current doses: 2 daily doses of 50 mcg T4 and 15 mcg T3, totalling 100 mcg T4 and 30 mcg T3.
Note: NovothyraL has 100 mcg T4 and 20 mcg T3 in a pill. I split the pill by half and add 5 mcg T3.

Hi @GreekDemiGod , do you get your Novothyral prescribed by a doctor, or do you have a source in EU? Thanks

@GreekDemiGod Why not try 2:1 or 1:1 ratio T4/T3?

Too much of T3 even when combined with T4 gives me palpitations and chest discomfort.

It's these kind of experiences that keep me away from thyroid. I realize it's just a matter of refining the dose and getting it right. Even so, not fun.

@Korven Not prescribed. I get it from a source in my country.

@GreekDemiGod I think @T-3 pushed through this and found success.

@GreekDemiGod have you ever tried NDT? Just curious, after reading Broda Barnes and some other book which references Barnes a lot, his patients seem to favor NDT over synthetic. I'm myself in the process of upping my synthetic T3/T4 to 30mcg/100mcg Wondering if NDT is something to potentially consider.

A very nice benefit that I get from thyroid is improved blood sugar regulation. I do much better when in-between meals, I don’t get hungry that often, and if I do get it, I am still able to function great, and not see a crash in energy levels.
@Jonk I tried NDT once from Idealabs, I did ok on it, but the benefits were not that significant. Perhaps I should have increased the dose.
I’m now happy with Novotyral and see no reason to switch. -
Increasing protein intake over 150g/ day seems to cause lower temps, cold feet, even on over 400g of carbs / day, so a 2:1, or close to 3:1 ratio.
I tried eating a 50:30:20 macro split of carbs/ fats/ protein, at 3000 calories, and I felt worse increasing protein.
I will try 60:25:15 next.
