I now seem to tolerate milk much better, which is fantastic. Before I could feel it giving me brain fog, dandruff/ dermatitis, but recently I started drinking milk again: goat milk and non-homogenized cow's milk and I feel pretty good from it.

I also realized how much the quality of the thyroid product matters. Before I was using Levotiron for T4, now I use Novothyral (100mcg T4 and 20 mcg T3 per pill), and I started feeling better in days.

Novothyral is so far the best thyroid product I could get my hands on (in Europe).

Does anyone know if Levotiron is a good T4 product?

He is in top physical shape, but facially he does seem to age at an accelerates rate. This is worrisome because he embodies a lot of Peat’s principles.
I still stand by the opinion that there’s a sweet spot with sun exposure above which you don’t want to go.

Blacks tend to age better facially than whites. They have thicker skin.

What could be the reason that causes one temple (left one) to recede faster than the other?

So that would amount to a single dose of about 19 mcg T4 and 4.5 mcg T3, taken 4 times daily, right?
Also, do you think that rT3 is a relevant number to track? Have you noticed you feel better at a lower rT3? I'm asking because I read that people being given large doses of T4 are told that an increased rt3 is not that important.

Getting to the correct and effective doses of T4 and T3 is quite tricky. I have yet to reach a ratio that works great.
I've been trying to gradually lower my T4 intake, as I didn't felt quite as energetic for a while and was suspecting that I have low conversion into active thyroid hormone from my gut issues.
Once I do that, and start increasing T3, I feel great for a day or two, then I crash again. Temps go lower too.
At that point, taking a large dose of T4 (75 mcg) quickly raises my baseline energy levels.
This is what happened this weekend.

If I take thyroid, I am functioning ok on a T4 amount that is at least 100mcg. I don't really understand why do I need such high doses.

@Jennifer Thenks for sharing. Do you take that amount in a single dose or split into how many doses?

For those who take thyroid, what are the T4, T3 ratios that you feel your best at and gives you the best blood work. Explain, if possible, also how you progressed to that dose.
And also mention if you have certain conversion issues.

That’s definitely the typical sun damaged looks.
Also, I think he doesn’t have a wife. What is a 47 year old man doing being single and leading a loner life without purpose?
