Just thinking out loud but I would slowly reduce the nutri meds by 1/2 pill every couple of days while replacing it with 1/2 pill of thiroyd. If you feel that you are getting too much thyroid stimulation then just reduce the nutrimeds by another 1/2 without replacing it with thiroyd so you total dosage has dropped by 1/2 pill.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. Are you going to add the the other with your Thiroyd? Or replace it with the other? I don't know much about the cytomel. Sometimes when I get on here and read it gets so overwhelming for me that I can't take it.
I am still using Thiroyd as I think it has raised my heart rate to a better number. I just havent felt any major boost in energy like some have so I am thinking about trying haiduts stuff.
That is interesting. My temp is finally at range but I still have no energy either. I use to be a gym rat before being diagnosed. Now I am lucky if I get one 20 min low intensity work out. I thought it was just suppose to be this way for thyroid people. No motivation...urgh. So do you add that with the Thiroyd supplements? Do you have a link I can read up on?
no I would replace the NDT with the synthetic. Still not sure if I will or not.
Where do you get them?
I am diffantely not just experimenting. When I was diagnosed with Hypo they put me on Armour. Every time I went back all they wanted to do is take more labs and focus on Candida not Thyroid. At the time I was eating for the Candida, no sugar blah, blah, blah. I wasnt getting any better. After a lot of prayer and some internet search. I Believe the Lord directed me to Forefront health. That is where my journey began with diet and more NDT. Then as I began more research this is where the Ray Peat way came in to play. I can say I am 85% better then where I was when I first was diagnosed. I have read in so many other places that synthetic is not good for you. I am not under a Dr. at this time. Can't seem to find one that helps instead of ignores. I guess i will have to read some of the info that has been given here.
I know just how you feel. I can honestly say the first time I felt normal in years was when a naturopath prescribed me genuine cytomel (not generic stuff) and actually took me off of levothyroxine. I searched so much to figure out what was going on with me, it's almost amazing how difficult it is to find anything about Ray Peat even though he's written so much on the subject of hormones and thyroid specifically. I think I saw little quotes from him here but it was always in context to what the person was getting at, and I didn't ever think he had a whole website full of articles that pretty much trump any advice I have ever gotten! I'm glad you found this site and Ray Peat in general. I can definitely say there is nothing wrong with taking synthetic t3. As long as you're doing your due diligence and taking temps/pulses you should be ok. NDT seems to work for some people but I've never found it to be strong enough on its own. Your liver may not be able to convert the t4. The one thing with t3 is you need to take it steadily throughout the day. You can perhaps also try the NDT a couple of times during the day and then using t3 another 2-3 times in small doses.
Thanks
