T3 and TSH

[Kronic]

anyone who has trouble losing fat ever get their thyroid checked?

I guess high TSH levels indicate that you might have a less active thyroid.

supposedly you can even take t3 to boost metabolism without hypothyroidism.

this article seems to be the only one I can find about using it recreationally. (thanks Derrick)

I did see that hypothyroidism is commonly treated with both t3 and t4 but I havent looked into t4 at all yet

Some good information in this article !

little update:

supposedly a common cause for t3 deficiency is actually iodine. this article says to do 1.1mg of iodine a day (might be a little high, I usually do 750mcg). they also warn that too much more iodine could lead to hypothyroidism
