Jennifer, it's awesome to hear that you feel warmer and more energized, despite being on a lower dose! That's also interesting about the peeing more often and reduction in swelling–it sounds like improved water balance. Have you noticed any other changes?
When I first started using synthetic thyroid with a higher T3 ratio–which was the same day I replaced all my meat with milk–I began dropping all kinds of weight very fast, especially in my stomach. I'm not sure how much was fat vs water, but I definitely notice that my belly stays flatter than other men my age (30 y.o) and I have a lean face. When I was inflamed and eating a lot of meat, I had a puffy face.
It’s pretty crazy to me, Tyler. I didn’t expect it to work so fast and quite honestly, I almost expected it to bother me like it did my mum. The only other things I’ve noticed so far are faster elimination, better blood sugar control—I’ve been having 4 eggs in a sitting without crashing my sugars—and more stable energy. I increased my training last month and found that I needed a nap after my sessions, and it occurred to me today that I haven’t needed to nap the last two days.
That’s so interesting! Have you noticed since reducing your dose of T4 that you’re able to tolerate more fruit now without bloating?
