I have been learning and applying dietary principles of Ray Peat for a few years but one thing always baffles me is the lack of conversation (maybe sharing experiences) around 'supplementing' t3.
I know there are so many threads about it and people openly share their experiences and I am grateful about it. But still, some of the experiences are almost always about the replacement dose.
When Ray Peat or Danny Roddy try to justify the t3 supplementation, they always talk about people who were getting some t3 when they were eating fish heads and chicken necks. So supplementing t3 was natural or maybe needed.
In the context of eating these foods, getting extra t3 can be done in 2-3 times a week at most. So why Ray Peat suggests nibbling a pill throughout the day (I know he is trying to replicate natural thyroid release but still?!).
Maybe I am confusing the context in which Ray Peat talks about people (sick or healthy).
In short shouldn't we take t3 a few times a week to supplement it, instead of getting every day in doses almost at the range of replacement?
If veterans like @charlie and @haidut chimes in the issue, I would be so grateful.
Note: Sorry for my terrible English.
Thanks,
