Hello everyone!
I found Ray Peat 2.5 months ago coming from a paleo/vlc sugar free diet for two years. I had begun to gain weight, losing energy, and sex drive - now understanding it slowed my metabolism. I listened to over 50 hrs for 1st month to wrap my head around the ideas which were completely opposite what I had studied or been told.
*I started the diet 1.5 months ago while simultaneously taking temp and pulse, and noticed a big difference in energy. AND my temps and pulse remained low.
*One month ago started on progest-e for days 14-28.
*Two weeks ago started on pregnenolone 25mgs,
*A couple of weeks ago started on Nutra Pak thyroid - 1 for 3 days, then 2 for 10 days - didn't see much temp change and found myself a bit hypo just before bed - low temp, low pulse. Then moved to 3: morn, lunch, mid afternoon and finally saw my temps and pulse better in am and pm for past 3 days.
*Question 1 - how long will I need to supplement thyroid for? Until my temps and pulse maintain a steady consistency over time?
*Question 2 - Is it necessary to wean off the thyroid glandular or simply stop in one day?
*Question 3 - Is there any danger of my own thyroid losing functionality by supplementing with raw thyroid glandular over long periods? What is a safe time frame?
