New - Test Results How do I Increase T3 Help!!

[Guest guest]

I have Hashimoto's and Fibromyalgia with a whey protein food allergy. I am on a

vegan diet. Listed below are my latest lab test results.

25 OH Vitamin D Total

32 ng/mL 30-100

Interpretation:

Vitamin D Status 25 OH Vitamin D

Deficiency <10 ng/mL

Insufficiency 10-30 ng/mL

Sufficiency 30-100 ng/mL

Toxicity >100 ng/mL

Lipid Panel (2020)

Cholesterol 135 mg/dL <200

Triglycerides 115 mg/dL 48-150

HDL-cholesterol 47 mg/dL >40

Coronary Risk Factor 2.9 <5.0

LDL-cholesterol [L] 65.0 mg/dL 75.0-130.0

TSH 1.90 uIU/mL 0.34-5.60

Ferritin 47 ng/mL 11-307

Total T3 [L] 82.2 ng/dL 87.0-178.0

Free T3 2.80 pg/mL 2.50-3.90

Free T4 1.18 ng/dL 0.54-1.24

T3, REVERSE [H] 39 ng/dL 11-32

THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES <20 IU/mL <20

THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES [H] 877 IU/mL <35

The reason I have posted my lipid test results is because I had very low

cholesterol and the doctor said I needed to increase my cholesterol level since

cholesterol is the precursor to making hormones. I am taking cholesterol

supplements to increase my cholesterol. These numbers are the best that they

have ever been. I am hoping this will help with my adrenals.

Currently I take:

HC – 5 mg (morning), 2.5 (afternoon)

Dermamag – magnesium oil

Levoxyl – 50 mcg

SRT3 – 2.25 mcg

Sea salt – ½ teaspoon (morning and afternoon0

I started SRT3 in April at .25 mcg and have worked my way up to 2.25 currently.

I add about .25 a week. If I increase too much I get electrolyte imbalance

(muscle aches, weight loss) and usually takes me a week to recover from it

before I can add more T3. Please advise on how to increase T3. What should I

do differently to increase T3? I just added Ashwagandha ( I am not sure if it is

helping).

Thanks in Advance

The most oimportant thing you need ot do is to take IRON. Low iron

will prevent your body from tolerating or utilizing T3 properl nd it

causes RT3, We generally recommend 150-200mg elemental iron adn many

have had good results with Bluebonnet Iron Gisglycinate. Start around

100mg in two doses with vitamin C and raise to 200mg in a week or two.

Thsi should help you otlerate the T3.

I have been on 350 mg iron for the past six months (150 mg prior). My ferritin

was at 11 when I started 18 months ago.
