TL;DR: Decided to experiment with Tyromix. Admittedly I simply skimmed over the dosage protocol Ray recommends lmao, not very wise. took about 20 drops of Tyromix total in the span of 3 days(120 mcg T4, 60cmg T3). Expecting some reverseT3(??) and difficulties for my body to adjust to the crazy changes in caloric/energy demands. Requesting advice/info/ideas (all good for now)
Longer version:

Not certain I overdid it just yet. Took one drop about a week ago, didn't feel much. I then decided to take about 5 drops and felt a hint of body heat and energy combined with a general sense of light restlessness, nothing crazy noticeable overall. Next day l I took 10 drops with a decent meal of fried eggz and mashed potatoes. Definitely felt better overall so at this point I made a Mental Note that the thyroid supplement was finally doing its work. My body began to CRAVE lots and lots of calories ( a feeling i haven't felt since I was a teenager, im 24 now). It almost feels as if the cravings cannot keep up with a deeper, more primal hunger. What I mean by this is that I've been chugging litres of sweetened 1.5 % milk and am somehow still am not able to feel truly satiated. My stomach is turning into a bottomless pit albeit I tend to rely on liquid calories quite a lot, but this is a bit insane haha
For now I've stopped taking crazy amounts of T3 and T4 in the form of Tyromix . As I begin to slowly experience the positive effects which I have just described, it does sort of occur to me that i might've overdone it a little, For anyone who is interested in trying thyroid or curious to follow my immature ways of experimenting with Idealabs Tyromix, Max and Tyronine , feel free to post in this thread and I promise to keep it updated for at least a week even if it catches noone's interest. Besides that I have a few oquestions which I would rly appreciate if someone with a bit more experience and a bit of time could answer( in short or full detail) as well as perhaps simply provide other points of view, links or studies.I'm not super well-read on Ray's, Haidut's or Danny's ideas so I'm in no way shape or form a good example to follow but I must say that I'm very thankful to have encountered such a positive/life-affirming way of looking at nutrition and and the human enviroment.

Questions:
Besides going back to square one and starting w small(invidivual drops), observing how T3 acts by itself(also low dosage), upping cholesterol intake trough milk, eggs & [organs(which i haven't been consuming all that often lately)+ lots of crabs, could you recommend anything else? My thyroid feels like it's tensing up right noww and whilst I generally feel great(not euphoric or nothing) it would be ideal to prevent any more potential damage. I am trying to understand the major differences between T4 and T3 and how conversion of T4 to T3 works(i know its done trough the liver) Based off intuition i do feel that the T3 has done most of the healing & heavy lifting in my regard and perhaps it is the excess T4 that is making my thyroid feel a bit cramped up/ making me feel a bit 'strange', since it does have a longer half-life in the body((??))
Also am aware Progesterone would help immensely with the imbalance I've created but I'm looking for Thyroid ''adjancent''/diet advice due to the fact that progesterone tends to make everything better, haha, so often times it's hard to pinpoint whether it's ''a new thing you're doing'' that is helping you or is it just Progest-E again doing its wonders.(also ran out recently) Thank you and hope the message got across clearly. Cheers!
