Guten Morgen, I’m considering using Reta for maintenance. I’ve been using TZ for over two years. I found your review helpful. The help with less craving for alcohol is a plus and one reason I’ve continued with TZ after reaching my goal. I lived in Germany for nine years. I picked up good...

There’s a lot of insight in other posts about QYC.

Finding a well educated integrative, functional or a naturopathic ND ( that can prescribe) because Endo’s that depend on the TSH to determine what a “ Free” T4 or “ Free” T3 not a total or an uptake is negligence out of pure ignorance. In thyroid disease and therapy, even when TSH is...

This gaslighting is inexcusable. I tell everyone who’ll listen to advocate for yourself by learning all that you can, find a good alternative doctor and stay away from end-holes.

Here are some books and websites. Stop The Thyroid Madness. Free website and books for a fee. Very easy to understand. But don’t stop there. Rethinking Hypothyroidism by Antonio Blanca ( former president of the American Thyroid Association) he even sees how Endo’s are not the answer. If...

You shouldn’t you should always do your own research. Knowledge is power. Endo’s are lazy in many cases and narrow minded. They treat the masses with Levothyroxin or Synthroid with focus on the pituitary hormone TSH. Functional, intregrative, doctors are educated beyond and often better if you...

You’re welcome. It’s been one of my passions. It’s such a shame that doctors focus on the TSH and not the Free T3. There’s so much to learn to be your best advocate. Years ago I started with Stop The Thyroid Madness website, books and was active in the STTM forums. I then found a lot of great...

The problem I’m pointing out here is the lousy TSH which is a flawed test without the thyroid hormones being tested. One can have a TSH of 1 and have hypothyroidism if their Free T4 is below mid range and the Free T3 is below mid range or not in the upper top quarter. A lot can be missed when...

If your doctor is treating you based on a TSH test over 3 you’ll be unwell. It’s a pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. A functional, intregrative doctor that tests the ACTUAL thyroid hormone levels is best. A low Free T3 is the issue. Levo is the inactive T4...

I know my way around thyroid function and proper testing. The TSH is a pituitary hormone that signals your thyroid to make thyroid hormones. The T4 is an inactive hormone that converts into active thyroid hormone T3. The Free T3 is important because it’s free to enter the cells and is not bound...

I immediately popped in over here to find out what’s truly happening. Peppy’s is doing damage control only. Thank you for being transparent Gonk. I had no doubt you would.

It kinda does represent the 70’s and women I knew smoking and drinking a Coors beer. 🐶

You just explained my childhood only it was my mother writing the not. I started smoking at 10. I stopped when I turned 18. Not a fan of pot but I like red wine. 😉

I did a two week break when I traveled to South America. I didn’t want to pack in a cooler. I did fine. I didn’t gain weight and used a lower dose to restart.

Amino Research is the main supporter of Peppy’s financially. I would say they own Peppy’s. I had no idea. When they were sucking up all the time advertising their flash sale I spoke out about how annoying they were. Every post was about their sell but I think they only had 10 bottles. It pissed...
