[QUOTE="torrential, post: 21805, member: 2752"] - rT3 is important, particularly if you have a history of or tendency towards very low carb diets. - "Adrenals" have a variety of symptoms. You might not need to start with testing. Dig in a little to see if any of it applies to you. - Thyroid antibodies are important to check once in a while: one could have or develop Hashi's and not know it. There are three, TPO, TGAb, and TSHRAb. - Kelp. I used to do that too, assuming that natural is better. I've discovered that I was wrong for a couple of reasons. The biggest is that the iodine is accompanied by the other halides you really don't want, specifically bromine and fluorine. The second biggest is that the dose is too small. If you look at the (sometimes heated, often dogmatic, highly polarized - [B]very much like TRT![/B]) iodine discussion, you'll see that the [U][B]micro[/B]gram[/U] level RDA is intended only to prevent overt cretinism. Conspiracies aside, there seem to be clear arguments in favor of [U][B]milli[/B]gram[/U] level protocols specifically the one designed Dr. Brownstein which appears to have significant health benefits for at least some people. Vince, hopefully this is not too far off topic. You didn't ask about iodine but it's hard to talk about thyroid without talking about what drives it. Recently my (well known well respected) doctor berated me for silently stopping iodine supplementation (I ran out and kinda forgot). I had started feeling like my old low T self and indeed tests showed my T-related numbers had all dropped unexpectedly and significantly (two rounds three months apart). We were scratching our heads until I mentioned omission of iodine, specifically Iodorol and supporting nutrients in particular selenium. Wrist slap, time wasted, lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
