I have no thyroid due to cancer.
I am currently on 250mcg of Synthroid (T4) a day.
If for a short period of time, I wanted to elevate my thyroid levels using T3 (during an assisted fat loss phase,) would I need to taper in the same way a person with a functioning thyroid would?
In my head, it seems like since I am already using synthetic T4 for all my thyroid duties, there isn't anything there to 'harm' or 'disrupt' with exogenous T3 use.
Is it that simple, or am I missing something?
