Do you find one can achieve healthy thyroid hormone function by nutrition and initial supplementation of T3 and T4? I’m looking for an end in sight so that one isn’t dependent on thyroid hormone for life. Curious what your thoughts would be?

Hi Danny, Thanks for this article. It strikes a great balance between detail and focusing on the essentials. I was wondering if you had heard of anyone's experiences about Bitiron (https://www.t3tiromel.com/product/bitiron-t3-and-t4-mix-each-tab-has-50-mcg-levothyroxine-t4-and-12-5-mcg-liothyronine-t3/) as an alternative to Cynoplus (which is unavail atm).

More generally, do you have opinions on a synthetic vs ndt thyroid as better/worse in particular ways?

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the symptom referred to as "slow celebration" is on the historical list of hypothyroidism symptoms? I dutifully ran several internet searches. I saw it paired with "psychosis," but nothing more.

I feel like that's an idea for a Substack for one you prolific writers.

I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism... but how do I know if I need to supplement thyroid?

T3 Free Non-Dialysis 3.6 Range: 2.0 - 4.8 pg/mL TC

Free testosterone 3.0 pg/ml (!!!)

Cortisol: 18.7

I’m curious about Ray’s reasoning for topical application of fat solubles to the legs… haven’t been able to unearth much about that. Could you clarify why that’s a better option than, say, the wrists? Thanks!
