I would think just the opposite, but I don’t take thyroid, so I don’t know.

I'm asking because i was taking 1,5 grain of thyroid when i was not training and felt decent with decent hormone blood levels, then i kept taking same amount but started training a bit, felt worse, tested and hormones were a lot lower lol, so my suspicion is that by training im using up hormones on a higher rate? i mean train and all the other body processes that use up thyroid hormones.

I don't know really, in the past when my rt3 was very high ( i will retest it soon) very tiny dose would drive my hormone levels to extremely high levels due to high rt3 blocking uptake. Now I can at least take a decent dose and it helps to some extent with some of the symptoms, who knows I might be needing 3 grains time will show.

Lifting weights is the thing that is guaranteed to put me back in a stressed state. The rise in adrenaline and cortisol beyond a certain point is just too much. It can undo lots of progress very quickly. It seems like a very delicate balance.

It's brutal if you've trained for years. We're just not used to holding back. It's my single biggest frustration as I genuinely miss putting some tunes on and banging out a good workout.

I think one has to look at BMR among other things.
