Any update ?
Dr. Peat told me once that inability to sweat was a common cause of hypothyroidism. I don't really understand why and unfortunatly didn't have the time to ask him again. Common science is saying that acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that "activates" sweating. Nevertheless, it is admitted that acetylcholine is responsable for the "relaxation of blood vessels" while Dr. Peat said that the main responsable for that was CO2 but in hypo state where you don't produce enough CO2, your body uses acetylcholine to use Nitric oxide as an emergency in order to relax the blood vessels (but with a price of lowering metabolism). So I don't really understand exatcly what in a normal non-hypo person is responsable of activating the sweat glands. Could be neurotransmtter issue, or glands atrophy.
