Can’t recall how this works, but if someone was fed up with doctors and wanted to source their own Synthroid, how would they do that? Asking for a friend 🫤

Before considering adding T3 it’s important to get full thyroid and vitamin testing

For good conversion of Ft4 to Ft3 we need optimal vitamin levels

Testing TSH, Ft4 and Ft3

Test early morning and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

When on T3 half or third daily dose T3 approx 8-12 hours before test

High thyroid antibodies confirms autoimmune thyroid disease

Often gluten free diet and/or dairy free diet helps or essential

Test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Come back with new post once your friend gets results
