Sweet! I would try it even longer, few minutes for the best reading.

I cannot advise you on how to dose. You need to go off temps, pulse, and how you feel.

Here is a link on dosing thyroid:

I'm a thyroid supplementation noob, but if I recall correctly, doesn't Ray Peat advise to just take 5 mcg of T3 per hour, because that's how much the body produces?

Yes j - I think it's 4 mcg of T3 per hour the body produces.

He suggests nibbling on it through the day - I take a total of 25 mcg of T3 a day but in 5 or 6 nibbles throughout the day. I also take 1/6th of cynoplus tab in the morning (120/30 mcg t4/t3 per tab)

My temps and pulse have stabilized using this regimen. But everyone's different.

I think if you take too much, the body takes actions to counteract the thyroid. What I don't know whether this 4 mcg per hour recommendation applies only to some people or to everyone.

I think it applies to everyone.

The body produces about 4 mcg of T3 per hour, so taking more than that can interfere with regulatory processes.

This and other good info on dosing thyroid HERE
