Do you mean those who were more likely to store their fat and not move around so

much were MORE likely or LESS likely to starve to death?

Re: depression/Reverse T3

I'm not Val but I can answer.

It is a survival mode left over from the days when there was less food in cold

climates in winter time. Those who could become very, very efficient at storing

their fat and had an instinctive need to slow down and not move around so much,

were much more likely to starve to death then those who continued to burn energy

at summer speeds. It is almost as if some of us are bears and were meant to

hibernate! ) Neanderthal genes perhaps?

Val I realize they might be hypo, but why do they only have the problem during

the winter months? Do their thyroid hormones decrease then and stabilize in

spring and summer. Also, I've heard it referred to as Polar T3 syndrome.
