Has anyone had success losing fat with T3/T4 therapy? If yes, was this the dose or what the dose doubled.

This combination is from Empower
T3/T4 Liothyronine/Levothyroxine sodium 9/38 MCG capsule
While taking 1 (one) capsule upon waking with water, then no food, or coffee for at least 30 minutes.

175 mcg of T4 has helped me lose some weight. T3 has the somewhat paradoxical effect of fat gain with me. Apparently this is not uncommon. T3 can increase hepatic gluconeogenesis and increase insulin. T3 can also drive aromatase and result in an increase in estrogen.

Seems like a really low dose. If you are just starting with thyroid meds, then low and slow is the way to go. Good Luck AGD!

Experienced tachycardia when I doubled that dose. I hate tachycardia. Tried Ozempic but after 3 weeks I had gall bladder pain. That is one of the many side effects. Stopped and it went away. Side effects for Ozempic and Mounjaro can be significant but both have had been very successful for many people.
 
The purpose of taking T4 is for the body to convert it to T3.

What you're saying makes no sense.
 
I haven’t tried T3/T4 therapy myself, but I’ve heard mixed reviews from friends who have. One friend found success with it after struggling with thyroid issues and weight management for years. They followed a similar routine – taking it in the morning on an empty stomach and waiting before eating.

Personally, when I was dealing with energy and metabolism issues, I decided to explore supplements to complement my efforts. I even looked into options to buy steroids credit card from reputable sources to support my fitness goals. It’s important to research and consult professionals to find what works best for your body.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
