need a step by step protocol for getting off thyroid hormones

[papaya]

hi, i've been trying to get off thyroid for a long time, but i always seem to go back. the longest i stayed off was 2 yrs, i was using iodine that whole time & felt very good. i went back on thyroid after randomly taking my bp & it was frighteningly low. wondering if gbolduev knows what would've caused that? anyway, i went back on then tried to get off again & did terrible so i went back on. also, i'm curious what you think about ndt vs synthetic? i heard that synthetic is too powerful or something & doesn't work w your body??? btw, i don't have the antibodies so i think that means i can go off it but i've been on it for so long that i'm scared i won't be able to adjust.

I have been on a forum tpauk, and it is complicated, I bought the book they advise. You have to care about adrenals before thyroid if you want results. It seems you have to balance minerals too, so I would suggest the hair test to know what is your unbalance...

What thyroid meds are you taking?

i lost weight faster than eating nothing which is what i normally have to do because even if i eat 400 calories of healthy food i won't lose weight. haven't done a hair test but i will eventually.

I am not in favor of trying to eat less for loosing weight, but not either in favor of trying to eat more, as I do not believe that metabolism will make the fat melt! In most cases metbolism needs more thing in order to change. I have no idea why eating fat only helped you loose weight, as ketosis seems to demand a bit more time than 4 days...

I answer you here because i do not want to derail the keto topic...

i def have adrenal issues!

Deal with this 1st would seem reasonable according to my readings of tpauk.... And the hair test is not that expensive compared to the benefits of knowing more about your case, especially to take supps and even the cream of tartar you spoke about, or try to use licorice root, which I saw they use only in short cycles, not of regular use.

What I can suggest, as you seem to eat low calories: Stay with what you do now but add vegetable juices for the minerals, and enzyme of the raw food. My concern is not about calories but low minerals. I would also use a little green salad before all meals, with EVOO and ACV. Even if you want to do it only for lunch and dinner and not for breakfast! The bitter taste in the mouth triggers stomach juices.

What is your global eating style?

If you ate only fat, then it acted more as a laxative didn't it? How long did you do it and did you stay at the weight you could get? If weight comes from hypo, then it is difficult to loose weight without stressing the organism indeed... Have you done hair test or want to?

It is good if we can manage to know for which person keto diet is useful.

i'm def hypo, i'm looking for help on here with that because i'd like to get off hormones but matty & gbolduev have been busy debating lol. the weight basically stayed off i think. keep in mind tho that i did this fast/diet directly after a very high sugar ray peat lifestyle...

i had this idea, so I wanted to know how you were eating now? Still peat style? Does it help you or not? Or you kept part of it and change another part?

blood test co2 23 (18-29) sodium 140 (134-144) potassium 4.5 (3.5-5.2) chloride 102 (97-108) calcium 9.2 (8.7-10.2) magnesium 2.2 (1.6-2.6) phosphorus 3.4 (2.5-4.5) ferritin 24 (15-150) what do these results mean? slow burner/fast burner???

also, thyroid peroxidase 7 (0-34) does that mean i don't have hashi & shouldn't be on thyroid hormones???

can you please move my posts to thread that has to do with reading blood work. i'd like to know what my blood work means & if i'm a slow/fast oxidizer etc. these posts have nothing to do with getting off thyroid hormones, i don't even want to get off them anymore. you can delete my posts about getting off thyroid if you want to. thank you

No. You posted this in a sticker for general information, so I moved it to the only personal topic you made, and told you why. If you want to know about your blood works, and think this thread is obsolete, well just make a new thread in the right forum about lab results.

This is not seen in blood work but hair test.

And this second post is indeed about thyroid hormones...
