Hello,
First post here. I changed my diet about 4-5 months ago based on Peat principles and I feel I finally have found my sweet spot. I have absolutely no issue keeping my temps up and my pulse has started to normalize (less dips or rises). Overall, I feel really well. All of my previous symptoms have almost abated (quality of sleep still needs some work).
The other important detail is that I'm a smoker. I know smoking probably helps me in some ways. But I also know that coffee helps me in a very similar way. Sweet things feel similar to cigarettes. Since eating a pro-metabolic rate diet, the cigarette cravings are less intense and for the most part I can go longer between them without having a restless feeling. They seem less meaningful. I have found so much healing, I believe, that I'm wary now of quitting because of the repercussions I may face physically.. revealing a hypothyroid state that the cigarettes were helping to mask....or quitting causing a form of hypothyroidism. With quitting, I know that the most important things I can do are: be disciplined with sleep times, get all the nutrients covered, be receptive to cravings for sugar and caffeine, and stay on a high dosage of pregnenolone. However, I'm wondering if taking thyroid would help even more. I have heard stories of thyroid significantly decreasing desire to smoke, too. I will say that I'm scared of experimenting with Cynoplus/Cynomel because they seem to be so particular and individual and difficult to interpret. I feel like everyone has different advice and different stores (negative and positive).
It seems like a reasonable starting point would be to get thyroid figured out in my system before I quit. I know this is a commonly discussed issue on combos and what to take. But I thought I'd try and see if my background information would dictate a different protocol of thyroid supplementation. Cynoplus seems to be the least drastic - but also probably requires the most patience to start seeing results. Is thyroid supplementation really just kind of a "live and learn" thing?
Thanks for any advice
