I haven’t tried treating my thyroid personally, but I’ve seen other guys report that the only way they got their reverse T3 down was by taking thyroid medication. If I remember correctly, most of them reported eventually feeling better once they dialed in their thyroid medication.
Someone posted a video of Dr. Rouzier talking about how to treat men with thyroid issues, and he says that when he treats guys that truly have a thyroid imbalance, he says that he hasn’t had a guy yet that hasn’t responded positively. He says it’s all about the dose, which is obvious. He said he uses dessicated thyroid, and when the guy is dialed in, he adds T3 to boost free T3 levels a little bit.
