I've been reading for years how estrogen/prolactin/serotonin/cortisol wreak havoc in the body. And how other so-called pro-thyroid substances can oppose them and how great they are.
I'm hypo, and recently got fat and today noticed varicose veins (wtf). Let's say I take enough thyroid, multivitamins, androgens, magnesium, caffeine, etc, and then some, in doses that can be considered metabolically "overstimulating".
Given enough Peaty food (4oookcal daily)... How is this exactly harmful, in a physiological sense? Will some stress hormones increase for example with overstimulation?
A few things I know:
- Some people here felt joint pain, or loss of libido, when lowering cortisol/estrogen too much
- T4 with lack of sugar can convert into rT3 - but i don't know the symptoms
I have unfortunately a LOT of difficulty connecting substances with symptoms, besides a few exceptions. So really: if I err on the side of "too much stimulation" and thyromimetic substances to just kill estrogen/prolactin, how bad can that be? Of course the ideal would be to find balance but what's the least worse?
