[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 157122, member: 38930"] I can well believe that too much T3 pumps your cortisol. After seeing anxiety go down dropping coffee and adding ashwagandha, it was very clear when I went past optimum with the NTD, because the anxiety started appearing again. I wonder if having both T4 and T3 or NDT, because the body controls the conversion from the T4, it might be more possible to dial in the dose. Perhaps also less peaks and troughs? Docs will acknowledge adrenal insufficiency, but say it's rare, but many docs deny adrenal fatigue as a fake disease. But cortisol and adrenal disregulation is a real thing for sure and very common, and caffeine is acknowledged to be a big factor for some. I would guess only a tiny minority would need to resort to hydrocortisone. I believe if you have a chance to fix the basics before turning to intervention you have a much better chance of feeling good. On the other hand use of hormones and drugs to make you feel young again as personal choice seems to attract a lot of moral disapproval. T3 declines with age, and low T3 in the elderly is associated with worse outcomes from disease, etc. I have come to regard thyroid hormone replacement the same way I see TRT. I believe NDT to be safe and superior to synthetic hormones, and see myself potentially using it as a tool to fight ageing. [/QUOTE]
