Did you happen to take notice of the length of those studies? Cancer normally takes decades to develop, not a few weeks. Heart disease also takes time to develop and cholesterol levels normally studied are from 180 to 250 which is an invalid range to be looking at. There is evidence that indicates what is needed to avoid heart disease is a long history of LDL in the 70 range and total below 150.

Read much? I asked for a study where participants reversed heart disease while consuming three eggs a day…
Where did your study find all those healthy people, certainly not in the US on a typical Western Diet. It has been proven that children at 10 have the yellow streaks which indicate the start of heart disease. Autopsies have demonstrated that most men over 20 have heart disease.
Eggs have been shown to increase the growth of prostate cancer, even one per day.

The short answer however is that the rT3 test is very expensive and the result does not change the treatment.
My understanding of the rT3 mechanism is that it is not biologically available but does interfere with the negative feedback loop. The body recognizes rT3 the same as it does T3 and does not produce more thyroid hormone. This is apparently why people with this problem have normal TSH and T4 levels. It was explained to me that in some cases the rT3 needs to be flushed out to allow for the active T3 to be made available. This is all dependent on the mechanism of the underlying issue of course.

I was treated for low free T-3. For over a decade, multiple doctors had checked my TSH and T4 levels, because I was presenting with malaise, low temp, depression, irregular menses, infertility, PCOS and fatigue. Every single time the results showed euthyroid and my symptoms were shrugged off. I was told to get more exercise and stop sleeping so much.
I finally came across a PCP that immediately recognized my symptoms and for the first time in my life, ordered free T4 and T3 to be tested. The results showed that my free T3 was very low. She explained that the treatment could be short or long term depending on the cause.
I was started on liothyronin and levothyroxine. I had my labs checked monthly and my doses titrated. She tried armour thyroid and also compounding to get me the best result.
After years of infertility, I finally became pregnant. After my second miscarriage, it was found that I also produced anti-phospholipid antibodies during pregnancy.
My free T3 levels kept improving and I was eventually weaned off the replacement therapy.
I became pregnant again shortly after and immediately was started on lovenox and low dose ASA for the entire pregnancy. My baby was born healthy.
3 years have passed and I am experiencing symptoms very similar to how I felt before I was started on the thyroid hormones. I’m concerned that the problem has returned and wondering if I’ll find a practitioner that is willing to help.

Fasting blood sugar dropped to Normal for me on strict LCHF = ketogenic diet, but ONLY after intermittent fasting. Water fasting for five days in a row, 3 times, fixed it for me. Before the fasts my FBG rose steadily, on same LCHF as after the fasts, and I leaned toward explanations like yours, gluconeogenesis and cortisol. Now instead I think the fasting cleared up visceral fats around and inside liver and other organs, enabling their full function again. FBG 80-90 now. Around 110 before. Fung hinted me in the right direction!
