Hello excellent people of the ray peat forum.
I’ve been incorporating quality liver, oysters and cheese weekly for the past year. I drink a lot of milk, OJ and I also eat some fruit from time to time. I lift heavy stuff about 2-3 times a week depending on how rested I feel.
Had been feeling pretty good over the past 6 months until... fall/winter happened.
I wake up 1-2 times every night the past month and my hair is thinning. I try to get the little bit of sun that’s available to me and not over exercise.
Thing is I was probably hypothyroid from a very young age starting at around 14-15 and I think I still haven’t healed that part. I think I need a little extra help and have been thinking of supplementing thyroid, which I still find kind of scary but hypothyroidism is scarier so I’m going to do it.
But.. I want to do it the right way and not F myself up unnecessarily.
MY QUESTIONS:
Desiccated vs synthetic?
T3/T4 ratio’s and dosing? (according to Peat?)
Please point me in the right directions!
Any other tips are very welcome.
