The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

but on a carnivore diet on a ketogenic diet yes we do see people more sensitive to thyroid generally if their general practitioner is just looking at TSH they probably won't see any change at all but if they're looking at t4 and t3 we do see a decrease in t3 but without a decrease in teeth TSH without a decrease in basal metabolic rate the really most consistent hypothesis is that it's tissue sensitivity to t3 changing
I think on ketogenic diets and ketogenic carnivore diets which would be a high fat carnivore diet you absolutely get didn't decreased t3 because of increased tissue sensitivity and a lot of times people can reduce their combination thyroids or levothyroxine which is a t4 preparation
The other thing I want to see is thyroid levels because that's the one thing that I've seen in some people on keto and carnivore is the thyroid gets a little wonky and I wonder if that could be affecting things in there, too.
