HGH use for hypothyroidism

[serapio2]

Hi girls and guys,

My girlfriend is a fitness figure competitor and she was diagnosed with sub clnical hypothiroidism, it seems that this condition has developed due to a strong stress period, she is actually taking 60 daily mcg of levothyroxine, the thing is that she has started a HGH cycle for anti aging and competiton matters, currently at 1IU everyday (saturdays and sundays off), she inject it in the morning.

Will HGH have a positive or negative impact?, what do you suggest is it ok for her to continue?

Her stats:

Age: 36
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 124 lbs
BF%: 14%
Years competing: 6

Exercise: weights 5xweek, cardio 3xweek
Diet: 5 meals a day, as an example each meal has something like this: 25gr of protein, 1 cup of rice, green veggies (lots), 2 fruits per day, 1 gallon of water per day


Thank you very much!

HGH supress you t3 production so unless she is supplementing t3 as well the effects will end up being negative.

What kind of fruit is she eating? Is that over contest prep? In a normal off season diet fruit is ok but even then I would limit it to berries and cherries. Just my two cents. Also I would hope she is getting some healthy fats in as that will also negativly impact her overall fat at minimum she should be getting 20% healthy fats in her diet.

Thank you Superqt, she is not preparing for any contest, for fruit she´s taking melon, papaya and strawberries, I don´t think she's ingesting a 20% of healthy fats, she takes like 5 nuts and a little pam a day, so I'll tell her that.

She started feeling heart palpitations in the morning, is that caused for the t4?, do you suggest her to take t3 then?, if hgh effects will be negative without t3, what kind of effects would those be?

Thanks for your help!!

I would get her to post up. Was the T4 perscribe is she doing this on her own or under a doctors care? Without the T3 her natural T3 production would be even less making here throid issue even more compounded honestly she should be working with a doctor on this for best results.

Thanks SuperQT, I am the one Serapio is referring to but not enough time to post as in the old times. I'm taking T4 on prescription for my subclinical hypothyroidism. Update is that doctor said palpitations could be caused because my body is recognizing my actual T4 dose as high dose... anyway I have to wait two weeks more to make lab tests and assess if I am on under or on expected TSH range.

Do you think taking T4 and taking T3 together would be better for my HGH cycle? I can't go off T4... but what would be a recommended starting dose for T3?

On the other hand, actual fruits consumed are grapefruit and melon, not on contest prep yet... according to lab tests and my trainer next assessment I would know if I start preparing for bikini contest. What would be your recommended fat % for diet macro on competition prep?

Minimal fat % you need to get in is 20% I would take in about 30% max of fats. As for contest prep if you are working with them then it is best to listen to them to many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth you can't take a little advice from here and there as that never works out. IMO

If you are going to take HGH then yes you need to be taking T3 with it as you have thyroid issues already this is going to mess up and test the doctors do now and I would highly suggest full discloser to the doctor or else he is going to be left scratching his head trying to figure you out cause he doesn't have all the facts.
