Update-how I Made Thyroid Supplements To Work

[Steve]

Why would removing starches make thyroid work?
My thyroid pills definitely affect my labs, but I don't feel a physical effect.......still have low temp & pulse no matter how much I take.

I don't really know, something you eat might block proper thyroid function. I think that from an evolutionary perspective, our guts are more suited to foods which existed pre agriculture.

Ray Peat told me to take about 6mcg of T3 with food ( as otherwise the T3 becomes reverse T3) (3 times per day) and Cynoplus in the evening to keep stress hormones down through the night. I use a very strong male razor blade because I wasn't able to precisely cut the pills with the pill cutter either!

3x 6 mcg (18), or 6mcg in total?

Thanks so much for the info. Will try that out.

Yes, thank you from me too and for the quote from Peat. I’ve been off starch for several months as well and I wish I had done it sooner.

What do you notice?

What do you notice?

Bloat completely gone, better bowel function and a little more energy. My goal was initially to give it a fair trial for a month but I’ve stuck with it since the end of May. Peat has mentioned celiacs should probably avoid all grains and he doesn’t seem to be a huge starch fan so I figured I should give it a shot.

yes I think I will try. Thank you.

You’re welcome. I have also lost 7 or 8 pounds with the same calories although that wasn’t my goal. It’s hard to believe it took me six years of reading Peat to really give no starch a fair try.

You drink 200-300mg of OJ? lololol

She means 200-300mls 0.2-0.3l

18mcg. But I currently take 3X5=15mcg :)

You're welcome, hope it works for you:)

Even potatoes? I don't feel right when I cut starch completely. Did you find it took a little while to adapt?

 

[YourUniverse]

How do you apply your thyroid? Topically, ingested?

 

[corvetteseeker]

@cinderella I’m so happy to hear this update from you. I do seem to do better off starch during the day but I sleep better when I have starch at dinner. If you don’t mind me asking, how was/is your sleep and libido before and after making this change?

Yes, probably a month.

This Is pretty interesting, as a celiac I started eating almost only only potatoes and some corn porridges And doing very well. The problem with only fruit diet as a source of carbs Is that I must eat very often and have heartburn from some fruits.
