@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. -
My health is getting better, Novothyral has allowed time to (partially or more) tolerate and enjoy a wider variety of foods. I handle dairy better (hard cheese, kefir, overnight oats. Some veggies, like raw cucumber and tomatoes.
Been craving cucumbers a lot last couple of day, feels like a need for hydration/ electrolytes.I also feel like I’m at a point where I can build my microbiome diversity due to improved food tolerances.
I now have relatively stable energy levels from day to day, I can function normally, stay focused on mental tasks at my job for a couple of hours per day. 2-4 bowel movements per day.
What I still struggle with is the permanent bloating, stuffed nose and low libido. I reckon that fixing that will be the last step towards healing. No matter how regular I am with my bowel movements. The bloating issue doesn’t budge. I think that it’s an issue of microbiome, fermentation in the intestine. Hopefully it will improve with time.

@GreekDemiGod
Maybe you are fructose intolerant to some degree
Too much sugar or any fiber does bloat me
Only coke seems magical without side effects
I saw a video of a 90 year old woman with a sharp mind and a bit obese that said the most important thing to follow for a healthy life is to wear more clothes to prevent being cold
In my experience this is true, when I am bloated or have constipation, staying below the blanket doing retaining CO2 and warming up solves it
The heat from the summer is different, it doesn't help, it causes the opposite effect for me in terms of digestion if I overheat -
@Androsclerozat I reduced the agave syrup and stopped eating dried dates, and I no longer have cramps. That doesn’t solve all my problems of course, but my gut feels calmer.
So it looks like fruits with high fructose: glucose ratio can be problematic for me, in large quantities. -
@TexugoDoMel said in Thyroid Log:
Iodine is very important but remember that iodine displaces bromide and fluoride and can cause unpleasant symptoms precisely because of this. It's a good idea to adjust the amount of selenium too, as there's a good chance you'll feel unwell when supplementing with iodine if you're deficient in selenium.
What about this very valuable statement!?
You won't recover if you listen to mainstream fear for iodine phoby.
