Does My Thyroid Look OK?

What’s the rT3 target again @enackers? One (1) ng/dL as I remember? OP, take a look at this thread: And be careful what advice you take on here.

Does My Thyroid Look OK?

The quick and dirty summary from the 2nd link I posted above is probably the best 80/20 rule-approved paragraph (except for the pitch for dried urine testing :-)): I tracked my rT3 from 26 to 6 ng/dL over years and felt exactly zero difference and exactly zero difference in my resting basal temperature. The Bottom Line – Is the rT3 Test Useful? There appears to be little clinical justification for routine testing of rT3 for thyroid function assessment [14]. The main applications of an rT3 t…

My previous responses on this to you as a check if my story is changing .

There is some more good study material i will find for you.

Edit:

T3 Supplementation

Very nice review article covering finer points of HPTA/thyroid control theory. I am not dismissing use of T3 therapy in people who may really need it, just be very careful when you start adding in TRT, hCG, etc. Good luck discussing the details of Fig. 1 with your health care provider: Recent Advances in Thyroid Hormone Regulation: Toward a New Paradigm for Optimal Diagnosis and Treatment [image] Figure 1 Theoretical and observed relationships between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) an…

Thyroid Advice with TRT?

What rT3 would you be shooting for? There is absolutely, positively nothing wrong with your thyroid blood work There’s a reason Endos do this.

I worked my way up to 150 mcg/day of T4 and 50 mcg/day of T3 (split), scanned rT3 levels from 28 to 6. None of this changed my basal temperature upon wak…

Thyroid Advice with TRT?

Take this schematic to an Endo and ask him to review the various potential outcomes when a euthyroid patient does combination therapy or ends up going too high on the exogenous T3. I have tried my best to explain difficult concepts on here but this one I won’t expound on here (opportunity cost of my time) cause it’s complex and a black box I’d argue to everyone on this forum unless they’ve really studied feedback control loop of the HPTA. I guess the other option is for you to try it and repo…
