Hi guys,
I’m curious how much NDT you are taking. I’m sure it varies somewhat per individual but nonetheless I’m trying to get a “ball-park” estimate. Please mention the brand of NDT too. Thanks.
I have been taking 2 grains (120mg) of NDT and recently got lab work done. The STTM (Stop the Thyroid Madness) community said I have T3 pooling going on because my Free T4 is low while Free T3 is high, indicating higher Reverse T3 not allowing the Free T3 to enter into the cells. Hence, the...

DHEA supplementation may exert a beneficial effect on thyroid autoimmunity and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis activity in men with autoimmune thyroiditis and subclinical hypothyroidism.
Hi guys. I've been doing well so far with the introduction of thyroid medications to my regimen. It seems TRT alone was slowly killing my already lazy thyroid and I was feeling always tired and in a low mood state, despite proper androgens numbers on paper.
I then started adding T4 first, but...
I have been on trt for many years, last few years just not feeling well, thought it was my trt dose or estrogen, ran many blood tests and found out recently my cortisol has been consistently low, went to the Hospital and they ran the Cortrosyn stimulation test on me and my adrenals did not...
hello,
with TRT, you take a smidge of testosterone, your own production goes awol completely, it's like an all or nothing effect.
is taking thyroid meds like this? thinking of starting it up and making my life even more complicated since the shitshow that trt produces clearly isnt enough for me...
I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism around 6 months ago, I was very much symptomatic despite only having a TSH of 3ish and low but in range T3 and T4 levels. I was initially put on NDT (NP thyroid but that did little to change any of my symptoms, doctor put me on Levothyroxine...
How's it going everyone?
I have 2 concerns. I want to double check my knowledge. My first understanding is that vitamin b12 does not interfere with thyroid testing - only biotin does. Is this true or should all b vitamins be avoided to have accurate thyroid testing?
Secondly, I currently have...
Hey guys. I got my thyroid numbers today. In my country we get levothyroxine without prescription in pharmacies. I am thinking about supplementing T4 to bring my TSH between 1-2.
What dose should I start with. 25 mg or better 50.
Since starting TRT my TSH is climbing continuously.
TSH: 2.23...
I been looking around trying to find what optimal thyroid numbers are. Not having any luck, everything just gives what's considered in range. Which is a pretty wide gap.
Has anyone seen in info on this before?
63 years of age and have struggled with fat loss for decades. I walk 70,000+ steps per week, lift weights 5 days per week. I eat a very strict diet consisting of: oatmeal, chicken breast, salmon, lean pork, vegetables, yogurt. I weight the meat for correct portion control.
I am...
I have searched for the answer endlessly and only got conflicting reports . Does Thyroid hormone ( T4,t3) reduce Estrogen or raise it ? What is their effects on the aromatase enzyme ?
Thank you . All seems very confusing and I think the TRT/testosterone community could benefit from the correct...
For a long time, I've seen many experts say TSH should be around 1-2 or 1-1.5.
In my blood work, my TSH is always higher and I have a tendency to gain fat easily.
Before messing with meds, I decided to try Beef Thyroid supplements a shot, to try to see if this could make any difference to get...
I was surprised to see these results, as based on Stop The Thyroid Madness, I really thought optimal would be achieved with over two grains.
I wasn’t able to hold the dose for a full month before labs due to traveling, but actually a bit less than 4 weeks. My GF also on the same dose, but held...

Hello, is it possible have low libido and poor erection due to low iodine? And I also have symptoms as hypothyroidism (hair loss, dry skin, cold intolerance, poor memory and concentration)?
My blood results:
TSH varies from 3.7 to 1.98 (0.350 - 4.94)
Ant TG: <15 (0 - 115)
FT4: 12.45 (9.01 -...
A few doctors have touted the little-known thyroid hormone T2 to be used to help burn brown fat. Since there is only a tiny amount (8mg) in my NDT, I was thinking of adding it for the purported benefits...

Hypoglycemia is a not so infrequent condition encountered in endocrine practice. Considered an inevitable (though modifiable) part of diabetes therapy, hypoglycemia occurs fairly often, in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, in patients on oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin, and in indoor as well...
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test a hypothesis that T3 promotes glucose uptake via enhancing insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation and VAMP2 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. T3 significantly enhanced insulin-induced phosphorylation of Akt, cytoplasma to cell membrane translocations...
Hi everyone
I'm 46 and i've been suffering from decreased sex drive since I turned 40("Life begins at 40 eh?") before that I always considered myself to have a very healthy sex drive.
Three months ago I was travelling and decided to get one of all these comprehensive medical checks, it was...
Fellas, often do you inject? Has it had a impact on your thyroid? I started in April of 2020, and last year around October I started having problems, and now I can connect them to TRT. It seems it somehow Impacting my thyroid function. I just went up to 112 mcg, and I dont have a problem with T3...
I've been popping half a gram of l-tyrosine with my t4 each morning, temperature rises much faster. Reading 98.x most mornings by 7:30. Any drawbacks to this?
Most nights I wake after a good nap. Last night about 2:30 woke right up. Maybe most people wake but return to sleep quickly perhaps. I was up until 4ish. Theanine wasn't enough to go back down. I decided to take T4(50ug) at that time. Takes about an hour I guess but woke sleeping like a baby...
As most of you on this forum know from my other posts that I have been on TRT for about 11-12yrs now and never felt dialed in.. Suffering from mild depression, lack of sleep, no motivation, cognitive issues, etc.... So I was recently going over my current and past blood labs to see if there are...
