I went to urgent care, brought the Defy paperwork with me and was 100% honest. The dr asked a few questions and did the physical no issues.

agree with Vince. Grab the thyroid tests. Hopefully you are also getting sensitive estradiol, serum iron and ferritin.

hey Lexer, great post. if I were not symptomatic, I would agree with you 100%. My labs numbers look pretty good. For months I have been experincing muscle pain especially around the quads (IT bands mostly) and have developed plantar fasciitis (which really sucks because I love getting outdoors...

I've been supplementing both iodine and selenium for months

apologies, was about to step onto the ballfield for warmups. TSH 2.03 range .4 - 4.5 mIU/L T4 Free 1.2 range 0.8 - 1.8 mg/dL T3 Free 3.2 range 2.3 - 4.2 pg/mL reverse T3 16 range 8 - 25 ng/dL

Sub optimal t3 and t4, high reverse T3, cold hands and feet, dry skin etc... starting very slow. Starting with half a grain and Titrating up 1/2 grain every two weeks to up to two grains.

I’ve been away for a bit. Crazy work and baseball schedule. In the time away I have had a consult with Defy Medical regarding their supplemental HCG program. I can’t say enough about the team and the experience so far. The intake was easy, appointment was scheduled swiftly, the PA that did my...

Got them down to 13 nanograms per deciliter. I think I’ll pass on the 90 day trial.

i do 200 micrograms daily of K2. I do not supplement K1 with the amount of greens I eat.

If you have that opportunity I would take it.

I agree with Vince. Definitely need a full panel of labs and reference ranges. Including CBC, CMP, lipids, thyroid including ft4, ft3, reverse t3, antibodies, dht, iron, ferritin, fasting glucose, hba1c What is your diet like? Are you diabetic, pre diabetic, insulin resistant? Any thyroid...
