Interconnection between thyroid and testosterone.

[@mensb1936]

Personally TRT fixed most of the problems I had, but not all. Adding progesterone fixed sleep and mental clarity. Eventually figured out might have thyroid trouble, body temperature was a bit low. Started taking NDT and it fixed hypertension, high cholesterol and inconsistent energy levels. Now wondering if everything was caused by hypothyroid from the beginning. Considering coming off TRT to see if I could go without

This is quickly becoming my favourite channel. It's just so interesting seeing how much is interlaced when it comes to TRT.

I'm glad you're enjoying the content!

Describing my situation exactly. I have hashimotos, and have been on trt for 2 years. Personally, i dont feel like trt does anything. The only thing I've noticed is that im more vascular, and i dont get as soar lifting anymore. I've been on different doses, ranging from 150-240, both injections and cream. I still feel so worn out and tired, even though my free T is 30. My T3 and TSH are both good, both in range during lab work.... yet im always so tired, and have no drive. Only 40 years old, shouldnt be so tired and worn out all the time.

Interesting. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid a year ago. Had half my thyroid removed due to cancer. Got all my thyroid levels in the "normal" ranges. My antibodies have come down quite a bit due to diet changes. My T levels have gone up a little bit from the low end. However, I still struggle with energy and severe brain fog. I am literally forgetting my coworkers names that I have worked with for years. Dr. is putting me on TRT and is hopeful this will finally get me back to feeling normal again.

There are no paper which correlates TSH with symptom resolution

[@ori73-y8n]

Great channel. Always interested to be educated on all trt related topics. Keep up the great work.

Much appreciated!

Reverse T3 is often never talked about or even mentioned in a typical clinical setting but one should discuss it with their endocrinologist then have it tested as it indicates what the T4 hormones are converting into; active T3 or Reverse T3. But be prepared to shell out more as it is a costly procedure done by private labs; as what I've been informed by my own endo.

[@balancemyhormones]

It's always good to have conversations about important health markers like Reverse T3 with your healthcare provider.

[@NYGuy2000]

Excellent podcast! Three comments: There are T3 receptors in the Leydig cells, so low thyroid hormones can lead to low testosterone. As Dave said, start checking thyroid hormones first before you touch testosterone. Second, unlike with testosterone, small amounts of exogenous thyroid hormones do not trigger the negative feedback loop (wouldn't we wish this with testosterone?!). Larger amounts do, though. Third, there is a link between hypothyroidism and low DHEA. Improving one can improve the other. You need to find out which was off (often, both).

Thank you.

If the HPTA shuts down from sensing high estrogen then would it not be sensible to use a AI to crush estrogen to the bottom of reference range to preserve best chance for fertility???? Further more is it possible to prevent or partially prevent shut down by keeping estrogen low???

Would a TSH of 1.19 be to low? For a 40 year old male

[@muhammadkamranzaman1144]

Hi Mike, I want to how much should be free testosterone,what is optimal range. And also one test for free testosterone is direct from blood and other one is calculated, which is better to find out free testosterone. Thankyou

What does heavy exercise do to tsh levels I notice when I don’t exercise and do my tsh changes

[@balancemyhormones]

Heavy exercise can impact your TSH levels, so it's important to monitor them if you notice changes.

[@EffectiveEfficientImprove]

Does Balance My Hormones carry out this thorough diagnosis as mentioned by David?

[@balancemyhormones]

Yes

[@EffectiveEfficientImprove]

Great. Which product do I select from your website? I’ve seen the testosterone tests but nothing for the thyroid? If you can advise please I’d appreciate it.

[@kilner79]

I did a testosterone blood test just to see and my free t is very low and my t is very low and shbg is low im now starting to think is hypothyroid issue as i do allways have cold hands and feet i get very rare migraines mayb once per year ive had an outbrake in skin tags constantly feel brain fog and short term memory is terrible and feeling of numbness to everything in life im just doing a full blood test to check everything i also recently found out my dad suffers from hypothyroid im 37 years old male

[@sharang747]

I’m sure this will resolve once they sort out the hormones levels both steroidal and peptide hormones which are your baseline sex hormones and thyroid being the peptide hormon.

I would recommend you check out Dr. David Brownstein on thyroid and how iodine can help thyroid and why we need it.

[@balancemyhormones]

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into Dr. David Brownstein's work on thyroid health.

Since auto-immune disorders are not a thyroid problem ... what interventions do you like to help balance the immune system?

[@balancemyhormones]

There are various interventions that can help balance the immune system, such as dietary changes, stress management techniques, regular exercise, and natural supplements.
