@sunsunsun thank you, that makes sense...also been using ray peat ai to understand this a bit more ...looks like using water is not the best in this situation.

Hi @GRay, I follow Ray’s advice of taking thyroid with food to slow its absorption when getting more than physiological amounts of T3 (4 mcg per hour). I’m down from 3 grains to 1 grain of Armour since tweaking my diet so I’m able to take it without food—I take half a grain in the morning before breakfast and the other half before bed.

@sunsunsun said in taking vitamin D twice a day , is more efficient than one dose:

I take 3000iu in the morning then another 2000iu later in the day, with meals. should I add a third dose of 2000iu? it's winter here.
I weigh 185 lbs and basically look like this!

During the fall and winter, I take 5,000 IU (in the morning) and my vitamin D level hovers around 80. I’ve never dosed based on weight, only blood value and how I feel. I’m 99 lb and my dad is 190 lb and we take the same dose to maintain our levels so it may be helpful to get tested before adjusting your dose?

@Cearrson yeah I’m in the same boat. Mostly just a hot water guy. At times when needed i use apple cider vinegar as a shampoo and then baking soda as conditioner. You don’t need much of either. A tablespoon or more. And your scalp and hair has never been as clean as doing this method. Definitely don’t need to do this every day.
I have beef tallow bar soap around for guest and myself. Kirk’s unscented pump soap is great too.

Glycine continues to impress. I ran out of it for a day and slow transit time seemed to creep in some. I received my next batch of glycine, and the next morning everything was back to perfect again!

My blood glucose readings continue to improve. My average blood glucose reading continues to drop. It was in the 1teens, (113-120) now it’s 103, (over the past week while I’ve been using glycine). Fasting number has dropped from 95-100, to 85-88. In addition to the drops in average numbers, the band is narrowing as well. My spikes over 140 are almost non-existent, (one or two per week, (and they’re on terrible splurges, like cookies, (homemade-but cookies nonetheless)). My average baseline 2 hours post meal has also dropped from 100ish to high 80s.

One other interesting observation, when I work too hard without food, I get a slow rise in blood sugar that is typically accompanied with a spike over 140 at my next meal. I’m a woodworker and sometimes I will get in a groove in the shop and push lunch back and hour or two. Seems like this is a bad idea. I assume cortisol is kicking in to elevate blood sugar and then eating spikes the already high blood sugar. I’ve found that sipping something, (not chugging) works well to keep this in check. I’ve tried Gatorade, dextrose sweetened milk, and dextrose sweetened water. Seems like they all work equally well.

@sunsunsun is your concern surrouding the environmental impacts of plastic or the health effects

You’re welcome, @LucyJ. 🙂 Given he/she knows your medical history and food intake, it’s probably best to listen to your nutritionist and increase your calories first, but there are recipes you can make from the foods you listed that may help with overcoming food fatigue, while improving your calcium stores such as cheesecake, quiche, cheese stuffed burgers and egg crêpe blitzes made with yogurt cheese from strained skyr, veggie-free/carnivore seafood chowder, ice cream, mousse, milkshakes etc. An added bonus—dairy contains some thyroid, and thyroid helps the body retain minerals (per Ray).

And from Thailand:
Association Between Vitamin D Levels and Long COVID Signs and Symptoms (2025)

Results: The study results indicated a female-to-male ratio of 1.1:1 and a mean age of 45.87 ± 8.65 years; of these, 62.4% received three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and 64.7% developed long COVID. The most prevalent signs and symptoms were respiratory (55.3%), skin (50.6%), and general (39.4%). The median blood vitamin D level was 22.96 ng/mL, with 41.2% of subjects having insufficient levels, 30.6% having deficient levels, and 28.2% having sufficient levels. Patients with long COVID had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared with those without long COVID (21.52 ng/mL vs. 25.46 ng/mL; p < 0.05). Multivariable analysis found that vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with overall long COVID signs and symptoms (Adj. OR, 5.80 [95% CI: 2.10, 16.13]). Additionally, vitamin D deficiency significantly increased the number of long COVID systemic signs and symptoms (Adj. IRR, 3.30 [2.12, 5.12]).
Conclusion: Assessing and maintaining vitamin D levels, vitamin D supplementation, and sunlight exposure in COVID-19 patients can reduce the risk and severity of long-term COVID-19 signs and symptoms.
