Steroids and TSH readings

[The Deadlifting Dog]

Thyroid meds are bodyweight dependent...
Most people don't carry as much LBM as you do...

Body weight appears to be the main levothyroxine dose adjustment variable

Now the article says bodyweight but I highly doubt fat requires thyroid hormones so my guess is that LBM is a better indicator than bodyweight.

If fat mattered then every 300+ lb fatso with hypothyroidism would require large doses and they would make bigger pills.



Also:
You have zero thyroid so you produce no hormone whatsoever...
Most people with hypothyroidism produce some hormone just not enough.

I am 222lbs with a somewhat functioning thyroid and I take 175mcg.


As far as HGH goes... I am clueless.

Great point! I didn’t even think of that.... just body weight.
