Only in cases where there is a definite sign of low cellular T3, which is mainly determined by the Temperature Test and Pulse.
If temps are consistently below 98.6F after dinner (applies to women only on day 2&3 of cycle) then very likely T3.
If not then other root causes should be considered like low Vitamins/Minerals, Cortisol issues, Gut issues etc.
It can be many things:
>High Cortisol
>Low T3
>Low Magnesium
>Excess Estrogen
>Inflammation
>Gut Issues/Endotoxin
>Excess serotonin
Even when a person is fat if it isn't hormonal they'll have more even distribution.
BEFORE T3 vs AFTER T3
@Windsofchange72 What is the cause of face bloating do u know? Like someone is underweight but face is still looking puffed up with disappearing jawline & collarbone.
It can be many things:
>High Cortisol
>Low T3
>Low Magnesium
>Excess Estrogen
>Inflammation
>Gut Issues/Endotoxin
>Excess serotonin

BEFORE T3 vs AFTER T3
I am still researching this. Iodine, copper and boron may help but one would have to guide people and titrate doses based on specific issues.
Although I don't have evidence on this topic as there is no research yet, it seems logical to me that T3, Pregnenolone, Progesterone can be very supportive along with Magnesium, B1 etc. Additonally here are 2 interesting things I have found so far:
>> Fluoroquinolones are known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, deplete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and generate massive amounts of cellular oxidative stress. This deep cellular exhaustion can mimic or severely exacerbate underlying hypothyroid symptoms like "face-down" fatigue, brain fog, and muscle pain.
>>Structurally, fluoroquinolones feature a heavily fluorinated chemical backbone designed to maximize tissue penetration. Functional medicine and toxicology research suggests that trace fluorine metabolites can bind to or compete with iodine—the core building block required by the thyroid gland to manufacture T₄ and T₃ hormones.

Spend just 10 minutes reading stories from the "Floxed" community & you'll understand why so many people fear Fluoroquinolones.
From Tendons bursting to horrific insomnia. Sadly some never recover.
Few years ago India had considered banning Fluoroquinolones but due to unknown reasons the ban never actually went through.
Now here's the part that will horrify everyone...
📍There are about 90 factories that make Fluoroquinolones in India, mainly in Patancheurvu near Hyderabad.
Manufacturing Antibiotics is complex and the clean-up required after is tedious.
Supposedly these companies release "treated" water in local water bodies but this toxic water is now a breeding ground for Super Bacteria that are resistant to the most Antibiotics.
🧪 When Antibiotic residues enter rivers and wastewater...
🦠 ...they don't just disappear.
They create the perfect evolutionary training ground for bacteria to become antibiotic resistant.
🌍 People ask me why we need to take supplements or why are so many folks so Hypothyroid and so on.
This is because we live in a world that is so polluted with:
✦ Microplastics
✦ Heavy Metals
✦ Endocrine Disruptors
✦ Pharmaceutical Pollution
✦ Mineral-Depleted Soil
✦ Contaminated Water
✦ Pesticides
The list is endless....
We're not living in Nature anymore.
It's almost as if we're living inside the largest uncontrolled biological experiment in human history.
And instead of asking why public health is declining...
We're told simply that the answer is:
💬 "Eat healthy. Exercise more."
Yes that matters.
But pretending our Health is determined only by Diet & Exercise while our environment grows increasingly toxic....
Is like trying to put out a house fire while someone keeps pouring gasoline on the flames.

It's a Public Health Crisis in the making.

When will India BAN Fluoroquinolones?
A class of Antibiotics so DANGEROUS that people have experienced:
✦Tendons Bursting
✦Paralysis
✦Insomnia
✦Nerve Damage
✦Memory Loss
✦Mental Illness
Some suffered so much that they sudokued themselves.
@indieram88 Not surprising. However tbh even bottled water isn't always that great.
RO water has almost no minerals which also contributes to Magnesium deficiency among other things.

WRONG!
For everything trashfluencers in India have 1 formula - cut carbs, have more protein.
But that's not the real solution here. Acanthosis Nigricans is a visible marker of suppressed Oxidative Metabolism, driven primarily by Hypothyroidism which in turn causes:
>Chronic insulin elevation
>Stress hormone dominance
Insulin Resistance is a symptom not the root cause. Root cause is faltering Cellular Respiration.
Therefore, AN resolves only when Cellular Respiration is restored.
This can be done by:
>Optimizing T3 (blood tests aren't enough)
>B vitamins - Niacinamide, Benfotiamine
>Magnesium and Vit C to reduce Stress Hormones
>Reduce Estrogen by taking Progesterone
