Hey Grammy! So I’m at 30mg Armour now, nothing crazy. Here’s my most recent results, the top # is T4.
My TSH has dropped since my last test (from about 2.5), but so did my T3.
Would love your thoughts!

Here are my results from before:
July 2018 Thyroid results:
TSH: 2.5 (range of 0.45-4.5)
T4: 6.3 (range of 4.5-12)
T3 Uptake: 26 (range of 24-39)
Free Thyroxine Index: 1.6 (range of 1.2-4.9)
T4, free direct: 1.16 (range of .82-1.77)
DHEA: 113.3 (range of 57.3-279.2)
Reverse T3: 17.9 (range of 9.2-24.1)
Free T3: 2.7 (range of 2.0 to 4.4)

You are still very hypothyroid. Your free T4 should be around 1.4-1.5. your free T3 should be 3.8 or so. Your TSH doesn't matter at all. Your reverse T3 is still too high also in comparison with free T3 so you're dealing with either low iron, low/high cortisol, or inflammation. I would add some T3 (Cytomel) to the desiccated thyroid. You are still very under treated and the T3 will clear out the reverse T3.

Thanks! I wish my doctor was as informed as you! I’ll try to find a new one!

It's very aggravating!

Finally found a doctor who knows what she’s doing!! She’s putting me on a new thyroid med, I want to say it’s called Bio-throid or something like that. It’s a slow release med and she’s upping the dose. It has T3 and T4 in it I believe!
I’m also starting on BHRT because my progesterone and testosterone are in the gutter.
Wish me luck!

Can you mix veggies in P3?

**Leez** · January 24th, 2020, 09:28 PM

Yes! There are no restrictions on veggies other than to avoid the starchy ones. Enjoy them freely with lots of good fats and some protein.

Hi Leez / coco

I am busy doing a few Keto gift baskets for friends and one popular thing in South Africa is something called Rusks
Some will probably regard it as dried out bread but there is much more to it.... i found a great keto recipe I would like to try
The recipe contains a small amount of dried Goyi and cranberries
Would this be acceptable on P3... i would think its one of those things to experiment with and probably only later stages od O3?
Or rather keep for zp4?

If the dried berries in the keto recipe don't contain sugar, it would be fine for P3.
