TSH is too high and should be close to 1.0
Thyroid lab ranges are mostly useless.
TSH might be elevated from not using iodized salt.
Please check and post oral body temps to eval overall thyroid function as suggested later in this post.
Training on low energy from low thyroid function and low T is fueled with adrenalin and the adrenals can suffer and rT3 can elevate blocking some effects of the active thyroid hormone fT3. This falls into adrenal fatigue, stress etc. Look for these terms in the thyroid basics sticky. People need iodine and selenium for thyroid health.
Anxiety may be from low thyroid function, low T and adrenal fatigue.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
