I have done it but on " long days " rather than intense ones.

The exercise is more likely to stress adrenals than T3 levels

your response,

It sounds like you are doing well on the journey.

My gut feel is that you could take more T3 later in the day. I found

as I built up that I needed to " front load " the day more but as I got

onto enough T3 they levels held better through the day.

More later in the day and at bed time means there is more left in your

body to get you started in the morning.

At they end of the day we are all individuals, an small overdose of T3

is a temporary thing that wears off in a couple of hours.

The place that I feel best is " just below too much " and that can mean

that I overshoot a dose and then back off in order to find it.

Watch out for temperature dropping shortly after a T3 dose, that is a

sure sign of adrenal issues, the amount of T3 taken depletes the

available cortisol as it tried to get into the cells leaving you

feeling hypo and dropping temperature. If that happens the temptation

is to take MORE T3 because you feel hypo and that is exactly the wrong

things to do.
