All,
I am looking for some guidance in regards to thyroid supplementation and overall metabolism health. Specifically gearing towards hearing certain members journeys & paths to healing, or if the opposite took place. I started my "Peat Journey" about a year ago, when my OCD symptoms were fairly unbearable. I under eat for a long period of time, with about a year and a half of IF involved. A lot of PUFA intake, not enough carbs and sugars, etc. Pretty standard background. I maintained my strength throughout this dip in health, but energy and explosiveness as an athlete decreased along with going from a happy, horny and high functioning human to an OCD driven hypochondriac.
My year has been filled with mostly progress in symptoms. I would say the peak took place 2/3 months ago as summer weather started to rear its beautiful head. I shed the 10 LBs i gained from over eating fats, and became a lean, athletic and most importantly happier guy again. Overall, I am in a much better place so i owe Peat, @haidut, @DaveFoster, @tyler & @tca300 quite a bit of gratitude for being such dependable resources.
My issue is thyroid. Due to having some genetic predisposition it seems to OCD symptoms, measuring my temps and pulse can become an unproductive task. It can result in 20-30 measurements a day, filled with frustration due to a perceived halt in progress.
My questions for the forum range from general to specific, and involve some topics that are often in high debate amongst members such as @tyw, @Westside PUFAs & other Peat desciples.
1.) If temps & pulse are low at rest, is it still possible to be healthy? My temps average in the low 97's (not awful but not ideal.) Pulse often goes down when t3 (cynomel) administration. When i take it in the morning, it has slightly negative effects, when in the afternoon with a sweet and coffee, it is usually positive. NDT (Dr Rons raises pulse to 70's from high 50's or low 60's at rest. I am a lifelong conditioned athlete. My pulse is stubbornly low, and ive noticed many of my friends who share a similar background, have a pulse in low 70's at highest. Usually lower.
2.) What are safest supplements to use for metabolism maximization? I realize this is an annoying & vague question. I am simply looking for what has improved everyone's metabolism the most. I am almost ready to abandon thyroid as it seems to barely do anything for me. Interested to see how many have responded well to thyroid, and who hasn't. For those with normal hormonal profiles, it seems to me its never ideal and always tricky.
Cheers to helping a brother out.
