Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@pannacottas Man it would be one thing if being that neurotic about food constantly would bring stellar results but… if u enjoy oatmeal and it digests fine, have it on occasion.
And for god sakes share a meal with your family. It’s not going to ruin a year and half’s worth of metabolism work, imo
@scamp Yeah I’d reel it back and maybe address other things first as t3 should directly raise temps.
Maybe check to see if u have enough cholesterol and vitamin D levels.
Could be high free fatty acids from stress blocking t3 so making sure diet is in check, eating regularly, sleeping well, sunlight, aspirin could help too.
Just to clarify you don’t have to take these nutrients at the same time. I think once consumed the liver turns it to a slow drip into the system.
Having adequate calcium when taking D is important. They will both keep parathyroid hormone low. But high vitamin d with low calcium intake can increase the active 1,25D which will salvage calcium from bone
If the nutritional foundation is good I would add in Progest e during luteal phase to make up for all the years progesterone production lost
Peat liked to see a minimum of 160ng/dl cholesterol before adding in extra thyroid in case anyone is wondering
Low cholesterol comes to mind as a possibility for thyroid intolerance.
How are your temps anyway? Maybe extra thyroid isn’t really needed for u
I believe Kate Deering is working on one
@GreekDemiGod Cause docs work under a different paradigm/ideology. Looking at the wrong things. fixing numbers on a page is their goal
@DonkeyDude I wouldn’t abandon ship after one bad day. It takes time for the body to adjust. A bad week yea probably lower the dose till u get your temps back to how u want them. 99 isn’t too high really
Maybe high dose fat solubles were crashing estrogen too low as you do need estrogen to function just in a good balance
I’ve heard Danny Roddy talk about high estrogen being stimulating and can cause insatiable libido and weak orgasms. Also high estrogen slows methylation of neurotransmitters and can make people go wacko
We really don’t have enough info about your diet to be that helpful. How much fat do you eat each meal? Do u snack between meals? Lots of liquid calories?
Some people do better with starches, some better with sugars etc gotta find what works for you
A better oxidative metabolism actually has a slower burn of glucose while a more reduced glycolytic metabolism wastes glucose quicker. I used to crash between meals and feel that stress often. Or have intense cravings. After many years of pro metabolic eating and now taking thyroid I generally feel more stable between meals and rarely feel that hypoglycemic stress unless I workout hard and then skip a meal
I think the tiredness can be from suppressed pituitary activity when you’ve been used to running on more cortisol and adrenaline. Takes time to shift away from the stress physiology. And I’ve heard that TSH can rise at first when the stress hormones are being lowered, now the pituitary can work on stimulating the thyroid system.
I would start at a super slow dose NDT and slowly raise every 2 weeks.
U can also use a heat lamp or halogen lamp in the morning.
Why are u eating just raisins and honey for lunch? Trying to be hungry in an hour?
Also doesn’t the spike in insulin without balanced aminos increase tryptophan uptake in the brain increasing serotonin?
@Jennifer What were your dietary interventions and macro split like?
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
@BroJonas The adrenaline-y feelings have resolved over time. I’m taking around 33mg of cynoplus and few nibs of t3 a day. I think the body just adjusts to lowering pituitary activity after a while
U can have them explain why they think it’s bad and try to discuss the points they bring up. People believe it’s inflammatory but can’t explain how. In many ways it can help reduce inflammation
Sugar could be bad if it’s feeding bad bacteria but at the same time it’s usually quickly digested. It’s devoid of nutrients. If someone is in a bad state maybe a ton of sugar wasted through glycolysis might make them feel more inflamed from the lactic acid, but it’s probably what the sugar came with like refined grain fibers feeding bad bacteria
What would be better to try? The 11 keto dht or androsterone for topical application to reduce nipple puffiness. I’ve had it since my low carb days
