@Sippy said in Thyroid inflamation after months of supplementing:
@Peatful I was a vegetarian from age 9-30. Was a raw food vegan for some of that time. I was so sick eating that way. Then when I got pregnant I started eating meat (and raising it myself) and did GAPS type diet. I'm 40 now and have been back and forth with restricting sugar in the past 10 years, while trying to heal my gut. In the past 3 years, I have cut out most PUFAs and increased my sugar intake- mostly raw honey, coconut water, and some fruit. I eat lots of raw egg yolks and fresh goats milk. Goat, lamb and some beef. High collagen cuts mostly. Organs. Coconut oil, ghee, butter, raw cheese.
Where do I begin here
I will be direct or to the point
But unfortunately- now I have many points
So:
If you were ever on the Ray Peat forum
I speak a lot about this
Some directly
Most indirectly
Being on supplemental thyroid is hurting you
You saw it once
And your seeing it again
The evidence is there for you
You’re the classic case of restrictive eating and then the stress (of pregnancy) really tipped you over
Thyroid currently is revving your engine
But nothing is in the tank
This is destructive
Btw
As I understood Ray
He never endorsed supplementing thyroid the way allopathic medicine does
But that’s an aside
You have been basically undernourished since the age of 9 ish
Your body has been (mal)adapting for you
Mainly using a stressed metabolic pathway vs bio energetic
Using thyroid now with no firm foundation has pushed you deeper into a stressed state
And a stressed metabolism cannot heal
