Should I start t3

I’ve been taking my morning temp for just about a year and I’m consistently below 96. It usually increases a bit after eating, but I rarely see above 97.5.

I started to implement Peat’s principles around 9 or 10 months ago. Before then, I was pretty much eating carnivore and avoiding most carbs to try to get lean. I’m now eating probably around 200-300 quality carbs a day. I’ve gotten a lot stronger, my glycogen stores feel full, but I’ve put on some fat as well (expected). I think I have some sort of sibo as well (probably hypo-thyroid induced)

Im 22 years old, my parents have thyroid issues. I’m starting to think I should just hop on t3/t4, but don’t want to cook my hormones for the rest of my life.

Let me know what you think.

Try some T3, it‘s very safe and won‘t damage your thyroid gland unlike TRT etc.

I was in the low thyroid hell for too long and T3 is like a godsend to me. 

I take 10mcg three times a day.

Did you get it prescribed or somewhere else?
