thyroid

I placed an order from the Mexican pharmacy a few days ago and they already shipped it! Most likely because I paid extra for fast shipping. The thing is, I only bought Cynomel (T3). I’ve had hypo symptoms for so many years and I’m finally taking the plunge into thyroid medicine. Thinning hair...

Hello all, I have been taking T4/T3 (2:1 ratio) for seven days now, slowly titrating up. I began with 3 mcg T3 and 6 mcg T4 once daily and now am up to triple both doses on day 7 (too fast?), split into three doses throughout my day. I have upped my calories and I am including as many nutrients...

Wondering if anyone has been Hypothyroid but unable to increase dosage of meds due to negative side effects? It is almost like I have one one symptom of hyperthyroid and the rest hypo. ugh. I have been on NDT for ~20 years. I had settled in to 2 grains (120mg) for many years but never felt...

Hello all, back to thyroid then shall we?? 😂 okay- so I’ve managed to take my TSH from: 1.98 (jan) to 0.12 (august) I’ve been taking Tyromax, slowly increasing over this period. My temps were increasing initially but now they appear to have stalled.. and even gone backwards. In this time I...

My cousin who has been overweight for a while but recently has lost a good amount of weight cycling went to the doctor to have a few tests came back with the following; Total Cholesterol 245 Triglycerides 160 HDL 34 LDL 181 TSH: 6.89 uIU/mL T4...

A good new study, which again confirms that saturated fat is anything but detrimental to our health. Most of the studies until now demonstrating improved thyroid function from saturated fat used coconut oil, and that has led to attacks from mainstream medicine that this pro-thyroid and healthy...

Welcome to Spellbreaker’s Ascending Muscle Solitarium (name under construction) In short, this will be a video log on my progress doing bodybuilding while incorporating Ray Peat’s views… mixed with my own. The current goal is to become healthier, more androgenic, feel better and gain muscle...

https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2021.725829 Abstract Thyroid disorders and sleep disorders are common problems in the general population that can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and sexes, but little is known about their clinical associations. We reviewed the literature assessing the...

Hello! I've come seeking help on stabilizing my morning temperature and any other insight. I am 29, female, 140 lbs, 5 ft 7 in. I have been dealing with yeast infections since 2013 and for years cut back on dessert, then fruit then carbs. I have tried many "candida diets" and protocols with...

How frequently have you heard: "Build muscle to lose fat." Implying that muscle mass has a very high metabolic rate and will burn up all your adipose tissue the more muscle you have. In this article, I set the record straight and also show you what's really important for increasing energy...

Going on TRT can be a challenging decision. How long are you going to be on? How are you going to get off? Do you want to get off? What about fertility, risks, success rate, etc? I'm not trying to say TRT shouldn't be an option, but want to give an alternative. Fixing hypogonadism naturally is...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26374392/ Has anyone come across this study before? I don't have access to the full study but it would appear cinnamon lowers circulating levels of T3. Based on the keywords, I believe Ceylon cinnamon was used. The human equivalent dose, about 65mg per kg, is...

It has long been shown that T3 increases uncoupling ,but this study shows that it also works vice versa : Uncoupling (through BAT activation) increases deiodinase type 2 ,which catalyzes T4 toT3 conversion . This should create a positive feedback loop. If you uncouple your metabolism with...

Has anyone seen this? Super cool research chemical in phase 1 clinical trials. It acts much like T3 without a lot of the side effects. What do y'all think? I'm thinking about experimenting with my lab rat.

Hi guys, I haven't been writing a lot of articles lately since I've got a lot on my plate atm. Soon I'll start writing more again, but in the meanwhile, I'm relatively active on my YT channel. I thought I'd share this vid about stress management since keeping stress at bay is one of the most...

Pulling the ripcord on this one just a tad early considering the next package of information/ experience/practice I've accrued has come to another stopping point. Here are some recent pictures as things continue to improve daily: ________________________________ I'll attempt to...

What do you do when there’s mold and you don’t have the money to renovate the place, or the money to rent at the moment? Is there ways to minimise the damage to the body. Does mold really affect healthy people? I managed to spend 3 weeks at a flat with no mold. I feel better and can...

Has anyone ever noticed a change in body odor once they have started supplementing thyroid? My body odour has definitely gotten worse since I started which is a shame because before it was never very foul smelling now it smells quite sour and acidic. I've been supplementing with T3 during the...

Hey all, I emailed this to Ray Peat but I hope someone can chime in here as well: "Dear Dr. Peat, I will donate 5 dollars to your PayPal account. I'm very worried about my physical state, I took 750 mcg of iodine or even more (I forgot the exact dosage) from a Norwegian kelp supplement for 4...

I just recently ordered @haidut's cyproheptadine (mainly for digestive issues), and it seems like many people who have taken it seem to get extremely foggy and tired, even if it helps their other symptoms. To anyone who has experience with cypro, how did you overcome this? I also hear some...
