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.
the specific effects of the ketogenic diet, and one particular effect that I'll address later but I'll mention now, which is, the ability of the ketogenic diet to adjust thyroid hormone levels in ways that make it such that if you return to eating carbohydrates after being in ketosis for too long, you don't manage fibroid and carbohydrates as well, that has been shown as well.
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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
This is interesting because ketogenic diets have been shown to slightly lower thyroid levels. And that makes sense because in ketogenic diets, blood glucose levels are very low. And thyroid hormone is secreted in large part in proportion to how much glucose is in the bloodstream and how much that glucose, excuse me, needs to be regulated.
the peripheral tissues are converting more t4 to t3 we don't necessarily see it in the ceremony it in the peripheral tissue we're getting sensitivity to t3 in the peripheral tissue and the TSH is not rising and people feel good
and the T4 and the T3 go very far down and this is not a normal thing those thyroid hormones are essentially like a dial in your body's thermostat
I think freeT3 is probably the really the indicative one because even when I was carnivore, you know, the TSH can be around two, but when you check the free T3 of somebody that's keto, it's always low. It's, you know, you can't hide that. like somebody on a ketogenic diet, the free T3 is low.
