[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 166634, member: 18023"] hypothyroidism or low T3 can negatively affect libido and energy levels. I am not a fan of "optimising " T3 to the upper part of the range, but you are below normal, which is more significant. First, I would make sure you get enough selenium and iodine in your diet. Be very careful about supplementing iodine, high levels suppress thyroid function. I try and eat 1 brazil nut a day for selenium, since I use iodized salt and sometimes eat seaweed, I expect I get enough iodine from that. Once I did supplement too much iodine and my TSH started to climb and T3 fall. If you can test Reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies I suggest you discuss that with your doctor and see if they can test for them, especially thyroid antibodies. I don't recall if you said what country you live in, reverse T3 may not easily be available and it's controversial if it's all that important. Some docs say yes, many don't think it's important. Though my reverse T3 is 14.6 which most people think is good, so that is another reason I don't think much about it. [/QUOTE]
