my daughter just told me that last night she took her zinc

before bed instead of in the morning like she had been doing....so that

means she took zinc and also melatonin before bed..could that have

lowered her cortisol too much and explain the drop in basal temp??

 

so should she move the zinc back to morning ?? how much

should she increase her t3 meds now??

valerie...today my daughters basal temp dropped

really low..to 97.0 ..at 10 am it was 97.7....you had said she should

increase t3 some before leaving for college next week...based on this

temp drop what do you think is going on??

 

should she increase t3?? and if so how much and

where should she put it....her info is below??

valerie...the

other day on our phone consult you suggested i get some blood work on

claire my 18 yr old ....she is currently on..1 grain NT, with 12.5,

12,5, 12.5 ,12.5 of T3

 

her blood

pressure was 177/68 her pulse was like 68 i think...she is very fit and

athletic

 

her basal

temps the last 2 days at 730 am have been only 97.7

 

here is blood

work....what do you think she needs to do...she leaves for college in

1.5 weeks...

 

Iron

serum....132  (35-155)

TIBC.....256 

(250-450)

UIBC...Low..

...124  (150-375)

Iron

Saturation.. ..52  (15-55)  %

 

Ferritin...112 

(13-150)

 

Glucose

fasting....88 (so this clears a concern about insulin resistance

correct??)

 

FT3....4.9 

(2.3-5.0)

 

hope you can

direct me so i can send her off up to speed...

 

thanks so much

I've never heard of Zinc doing this. I take Zinc at night and my temps tend to

be low but sometimes higher. I wonder if this is when I skip taking Zinc at

night. When is the best time to take Zinc?

Thank you,

Zinc has nbeen shown to lower cortisol so it si best to take it at

night as that is when lowest cortisol is needed for the day. If oyu have

lwo cortiosl I do nto recommend taking it at all.
