I am finally making the full plunge and diving into full Thryoid dosing/replacing with Armour.. for the past 2 months Ive been taking a 1/2 grain every morning and tried waiting 30 min before eating/drinking coffee... but now I am going to go full 1 grain in AM and 1/2 late afternoon...

How do any of you dose your thyroid medication..? do you wait a set amount of time prior to and after eating/drinking?
 
empty stomach in the am, Dr Crisler told me once if you need second dose in the PM to try sublingual, since you may have had a couple of meals at that time

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.
