Episode notes
Use Thyroid Carefully To Boost Metabolism
- Consider full-spectrum thyroid support (T4 + T3 or NDT) to raise metabolic function, but only with adequate calories and nutrients.
- Monitor body temperature, appetite and symptoms and adjust dose slowly over weeks.
Testosterone Often Reflects Metabolic Health
- Low testosterone in men often reflects aromatization to estrogen or poor metabolic resources, not always primary testosterone failure.
- Improving calories and thyroid function can raise testosterone without immediate exogenous hormone use.
Mitigate Seed Oil Exposures Strategically
- When you expect exposure to seed oils or poor restaurant fats, take antioxidants like vitamin E and consider aspirin to reduce free fatty acid damage.
- Use these as occasional mitigations, not daily crutches for a consistently poor diet.
