A simple therapeutic trial of thyroid medication will tell you pretty quickly if there's room for optimization. With that elevated of a TSH I personally think it's worth a shot if you've got a good/open-minded doc. Hopefully just feeling Okay isn't good enough!

What are your thoughts on the Yale epidemiologist coming out and saying that the data is 100% clear on hCQ? More clear than anything he's seen supposedly in his entire life? There seems to be an ungodly amount of misinformation out there. Any insight?

You could check with Dr. Rotman. He's based in NY.

I've gone back and forth using Lugol's drops and the actual tablets/pills. I just find it easier to use in the drop formulation. First and foremost I've noticed better absorption/results when used in combination with my thyroid meds, which results in a hosts of other benefits. If anything, it...

I definitely get and see the benefits of selenium and iodine but I also don’t get the ginormous dosing some recommend lol. ive seen several of his videos as well.

I've done very well on everything from 3mg a day up to 12.5 mg per day. There was a brief initial "detox" period for me as well (as others have noted). That was using Lugols at times and Iodine tablets, which I'm currently using. I consider it a must as I feel immensely better on it than off of...

Good stuff. Great posts! Gear heads take note.

Agree with above. Need to fully explore your cortisol levels and thyroid. Logical next step.

Definitely need to see a full thyroid panel. Sounds like T4 alone isn't doing the job, but let's make sure with labs.

My numbers were very similar to yours and I've benefited greatly from combining NDT with T3. Your numbers aren't bad per say (and neither were mine), but treating thyroid made a world of a difference for me.

I thought this was interesting from Icon Wellness website here near Houston. Had never heard this before from any doc I personally have encountered or otherwise. Why saliva and not blood work? Saliva hormone values reflect the tissue concentration of your hormones. Blood and serum contains the...

I'm on NDT plus Cytomel as well. When I added in iodine, I noticed much better absorption with my thyroid meds. I personally take 3mg of Terry's Naturally Trio-Iodine. Also, on your second labs it looks like your FreeT dropped pretty significantly?? I realize your TotalT is high, but I'd be...

What was your dosing and frequency? I hear nothing but great things from this Peptide. Apparently it works very well or synergistically with TB500 as well.

I've used both with success in the past. I don't think you'll want to be on either long term, but to get the adrenals functioning properly so you can get back to optimizing thyroid and testosterone. With the adrenal cortex, I didn't take quite that many but that dosing makes sense based on low...

I think around 6 weeks or so I started slowly adding back in the iodine and thyroid NDT. I get much better absorption I've noticed when I supplement the NDT with iodine. Adrenals weren't by any means 100% (I could tell by feel) but slowly brought everything back up. I can totally see, looking...

Man, it was a long process to be honest. Mine apparently were in bad shape. Followed some of the advice on the stop the thyroid madness website, used adrenal extract for awhile and definitely DHEA. Had to lower the iodine dose, basically no heavy lifting in the gym, light dumbbell work and light...

I think your situation was a lot like mine. Seems most guys have cortisol that's too high from stress or whatever. I was always on the low end, so getting adrenals working properly before getting thyroid dialed in was 10x more trickier for me than most. I hope you're working with a top quality doc.

That seems very reasonable and obviously it worked. Thanks for sharing!

That sounds like a good plan. Keep us posted!

Echo much of what was said above. So it looks like 200mg of Test a week, 75 IU's of FSH EOD. If he's going through a 10,000 IU bottle of hCG in two weeks with EOD shots, that sounds about or aound 1500 IU's of hCG EOD which is a considerable amount as well. I believe most of the Lippshulz...

We kind of need his entire protocol, exactly what he's taking and how often, but that much Anastrozole and Tamoxifen is destroying him. We can confidently say that much. Most recent labwork would help too.

Aren't they both "housed" if you will in the very same building?

I have also used, along with Hisone from ADC in the past, Adrenal Cortex (Thorne is the brand name I believe).

Am I reading that correctly that your Total T also dropped significantly?? From 1067 in November to 650 in January?

Like Nelson said, I"d probably suggest no smaller than a 28g-1/2". 27g would probably be more ideal. I'm using a 28g-1/2" in the quads at the moment and that's about as flimsy as I'd like to go LOL (it does make for a nice and smooth slow flow injection tho). If you're lean enough then that...

I have heard they work very well together but I suppose if I had to just pick one I'd pick Tesamorelin.

Having RT3 would help, but regardless I agree with everyone above.....you're going to need to treat thyroid. And just for the heck of it.........when you're saying iodine is optimal, can you be specific as to what you mean? What are you taking, how much, etc.....

Your RT3 is way up there. TSH definitely elevated. This has to be hampering your goals. I'd pursue treatment for sure. Probably low dose NDT with T3 or T3 exclusively. Would be worth your while to examine the remainder of your hormone profile as well at this point.

Did they give a dose range? I"m assuming no more than 1-2 IU's per day...........therapeutic treatment dosing.

Interesting. That would make doing/scheduling labwork definitely more interesting.

If you feel fine don't touch a thing. The numbers are what they are. No need to overthink it.
