I haven't taken anything other than vitamin d, zinc, and k2. I am not on trt. I'm just trying to figure out if I will benefit from it and have been for a few years now.

I was wondering about that. I have read that doing keto for extended periods of time can lower t3, which also causes my symptoms. Has the keto diet changed your thyroid panel in any way? I will say that I have more of a dirty keto approach currently. I also have one day a week where I eat...
