Question: I wanted to ask about thyroid meds. I’m on 5mg(2xdaily) T3 med. Cytomel & 25mg Synthroid. And a little Bioidentical Testosterone. Do you know if any of these would cause the hcg to work differently like I would need less or more if I’m taking thyroid meds or other hormones.. no matter if I increase or decrease, I’m always starving.
Answer:
One thing is having enough thyroid meds will help hCG work better that’s for sure. Regarding being hungry- it sounds like you might be a little like me- I’ve had an issue with hunger on my thyroid this year and I think it was other deficiencies I’ve been figuring out- overall it’s been better- my vitamin D for one, and my adrenals. When those two are supported or better, it seems my hunger is normal again. Something to check into anyway.
I’m not familiar with the bioidentical hormones and how they impact things- I would think testosterone would help you retain your muscle mass on the diet.
