Either thyroid hormones or desiccated thyroid should be supplemented to make up for that anti thyroid PUFA's that are prevalent in most westerns diet & fat stores.
Is he right about most people needing thyroid supplemenst?

he is dead
How fricked am I? I take Lugol's iodine, one drop per day, but clearly I need to be doing something else.
Oh wait a minute, I'm moronic. I was under the impression lower number = hypothyroid when in fact it's the opposite. I'm almost flirting with hypER. Maybe I should back off the lugol's lmao.
isnt the lower the better?
Yeah, mea culpa
yes. but I just eat clean and don't worry about supplements. supplements help correct deficiencies immediately or if you're impatient but shouldn't be something you're reliant on in the long-term.
iodine is thyroid suppressant iirc. Danny talks about his negative experience on somebody else's protocol that called for that iodine supplement.
danny?
peat says to avoid iodine
Danny Roddy.
>iodine is thyroid suppressant iirc
You've got it backwards, iodine was added to salt because of growing levels of hypothyroidism in the US
I know that's why they added it to salt, but I haven't looked at the evidence they based that theory on.
Iodine is a component of thyroid hormones. If there is reduced thyroid function, iodine deficiency is the easiest thing to look at and address.
fat you eat is fat you wear. on low fat lipogenesis peaks at 15 grams a day all of it being saturated. just stop eating fat you fools.
buut you need fats for hormones
thats true but he made some good points despite some followers nowadays going overboard
>Is he right about most people needing thyroid supplemenst?
no
make an argument
>senile idiot makes outrageous claim that people should start taking thyroid medication because MUH METABOLISM
>nuIST glazes the mf
>gets told it's bad advice
>"umm, source?"
it's on ray peat and his little fanboys to establish why healthy people need to take thyroid medication
and no boosting your metabolism isn't a "good" thing, there's always a trade-off when it comes to these things specially when drugs are involved with known side effects
if you're healthy then you wouldn't be hypothyroid, would you?
except that according to ray peat and his fanboys everyone that isn't on thyroid medication and drinking sugar water is unhealthy, he isn't simply prescribing this to people with hypothyroidism but to everyone
ray peat's whole gimmick was his obsession with metabolism upregulation, everything he preached has that in mind
you're a dumb gorilla Black person that doesn't know anything and that's ok.
NTA but you didn't actually address any of his valid criticisms
there is no criticism.
if you're healthy you don't need anything.
>making shit up
>valid criticisms
It isn't that they are unhealthy, it is just that they would be healthier if they were in most cases.
A lot of people have strong opinions on Ray Peat without ever trying it out. A month of drinking a carton of orange juice a day, coconut oil on everything and zero PUFAs whatsoever and I think most people would be convinced. It is so clearly ideal once you get the hang of listening to your body and giving it what it wants.
Avoiding PUFA is a tough sell because it is in anything processed or from a restaurant, but it is so worth it.
