Starting 2nd week of T3 -- For Val

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I'm hoping you might be willing to give me feedback again (we spoke on Monday).

I just finished my first week of T3 at 5mcg. Tomorrow I'm supposed to begin

doubling that does....5mcg twice a day. According to the guidelines you guys

provide, I would be taking more like 12 mcg/day and then begin increasing every

couple of days after that.

I just had my ferritin tested, though, and it's 49.

Questions:

1. How much iron do you suggest I take?

2. Since my ferritin is low, should I stick to the guidelines my Naturopath

gave me (stick to 10mcg/day indefinitely). In other words, I'm wondering if

because my ferritin is low, if staying at 10mcg/day is the best thing for me to

do (anything more than that would be going too fast)?

Thanks in advance for any input you can provide!!
