Thanks K Sman. I didn’t notice the question about the salt. I cook with sea salt. Other than that I do not take any supps containing any iodine/selenium. Just a daily multi. If they don’t have these in them I will purchase them.
What range should my E2 be in? I do take accutane daily, which is renown for being heavy on the liver. Perhaps this is the cause. I’ve noticed that I’ve got some fat (not much at all) that will not go away…could this be the result of my E2 current level?
Here are my action items until my next blood test which will be 3months from now.
- Get some idione & selenium for thyroid support
- Get some liver support supplements
- Check oral body temp
- Get blood work (in 3 months)
Is this a good plan of action and anything else would recommend me doing, not doing? I just want to be as healthy as possible.
Thanks!
edit @ K Sman. I"m reading as much as possible about high E2. I found another post you commented on and learning a lot: Estradiol: Why You Should Care - #96 by KSman
Should I invest in some Arimidex or Zinc to knock down my E2, or should I jus stick with Iodine and see if that helps instead or should I do both? I’m now realizing why I’m having such a hard time dropping some of this fat, I’ve never had issue with fat before. This also may explain my joint pain, but this only starts after I cycle back on the accutane drug.
