Hey All,
I know there has been good & bad experiences while taking thyroid hormone. Myself being one of them.. I was always good but once i stopped I seemed to never tolerate it again.
I believe I wasn’t able to tolerate NDT because of how much stress i was under during that time. (Ths winter) bouts of overdosing too fast on too much NDT & also not eating enough calories.
I also believe my adrenals weren’t so great. (High cortisol for so long to where im low cortisol now!) So i think it was a perfect storm introducing NDT during that time. Fast forward to now im wondering if im ready to try again?
What approach should one make sure they do while starting up NDT again? Either through diet or nutrition.
Low & slow like 1/4 grain?
How do you know when to increase or when not to?
Do i take dhea & preg with it?
Im looking to go back on because I feel like my adrenals are still taking a hit from sluggish thyroid. & id like to balance my hormones out to get through this blah state.
My diet is great, exercise etc.. along with sleep but nothing compared to how i felt with taking NDT with preg & dhea daily.
Any thoughts & experiences would be great.
I do bloods this Thursday. Ill have results back within 2 weeks to show everyone here.
