Treating high RT3 with T3. How much is too much?

@Vtail

Glad it worked out in the end!

I think that TRT docs are starting to see the link bewteen the thyroid and low T (one can mimic the other).

Slightly related, but the no 1 thyroid disorder (afaik) is Hashimotos (autoimmune disorder). I've always suspected that I have this, and now don't eat anything with gluten/dairy.

It's been over a week of this new diet, and it's difficult to describe the changes but it's quite positive. I urge anyone on here that suspects that they have some kind of autoimmune disorder to give it a try for a month and see how they get on.

Yes, eliminating gluten and dairy is supposedly a must for Hashi's. Taking a daily selenium supplement is also highly recommended. I have been able to cut my antibodies in half over a 6 month period, which is good, but I'm hoping to get them down more or maybe even eliminate them.

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.
