So does that apply if someone's particularly stressed? Dr. Peat has said some added T3 can be helpful during times of stress, so wouldn't it be likely that the heart rate would stay elevated during those periods with little change in cholesterol values?I think there is no optimal rT3 test as long as it is in range. I would consider heart rate and cholesterol as better gauges as the body regulates rT3 tightly and as long as heart rate is 80 or above after eating, and cholesterol is below 200 then it suggests thyroid is working well so rT3 does not matter much. If the rT3 is above range on 2 consecutive tests at least 4 weeks apart then I think it is time to consider T3 supplement or lower the NDT dose.
