I have seen Nelson cite selfhacked.com a few times so must be reputable...just read this:
Low T3 symptoms:
Low Pregnenolone and High LDL (R) – anxiety, bad moods, and low motivation are indicators of low pregnenolone. T3 thyroid hormones convert LDL to pregnenolone. Unless you take pregnenolone, you won't know what a deficiency feels like.
I thought all along that you should address adrenal issues before treating the thyroid, but this is actually saying that increasing T3 could help the conversion from cholesterol to Pregnenolone. I am just interested because my T3 is on the low side, high LDL, and low adrenal function (low DHEA, Prog, Preg)
Thoughts?
