I'm very new to Peat (and raypeatforum.com), just discovered it last July, and started making dietary changes and adding IdeaLabs supplements in mid august. My last bloodwork (in July, before my most recent Peat changes) for thyroid were:
tsh 1.20 (.4 - 4.5) (should be less than .4)
t4 6.8 (4.5 - 12) (should be low)
t3 2.4 (2.3 - 4.2) (should be high)
I just got a thermometer a week ago, and my morning temps (right after waking up and urination) are averaging around 97.1.
For the last 3 weeks I've been applying Tyronene (t3) 1 drop to each testicle morning and night, and making a Peat dietary transition:
0 coffee to 1 cup morning
0 orange juice to 1-2 cups a day
more fresh fruit
and of course no PUFA
Given that I'm definitely hypothyroid (but it could be worse ) here's the questions, based on my slow and steady approach:
1. continue to do what I'm doing, and gradually become more Peatish dietary wise
2. go for a more rapid improvement and increase Idealabs supplements, ie increase my T3 (or switch to a t3/t4 mix) and add in others?
Here's an interesting observation: within 10-15 minutes after my topical T3, I feel warmer (and my testicles really feel warm for ~5 minutes). But my oral temperature hasn't changed.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions and advice,
Paul
