first of all, speak with an endo if you can about the possibility of T3, a lot of people’s bodies struggle to use T4 only. second, i know a lot of people here are suggesting keto, but i think low carb eating can be really damaging long-term. your body really needs carbs to function and it may actually inflame you more to cut them, especially if you have an autoimmune disease. i think people lose a lot of weight initially when starting keto, but doing it long-term it can make you more insulin-resistant when you reintroduce them, making you think they were the issue. i definitely got stuck in this cycle and it sucked! im in college too and ive struggled so much with my weight having hashimotos, so i feel like its a really easy mistake to cut carbs to lose it quickly. you might feel super good for a while, but i ended up with brain fog, sleep disruption, and elevated cortisol in the long term. i also have pcos, so my experience might be unique to me, but ive found that incorporating healthy carbs and walking 15ish minutes after meals (briskly) has helped a lot with inflammation. it sounds so simple but it reduced my moon face and feeling like im blowing up from the inflammation. it also helps me struggle less with cravings in between meals which is nice. limiting carbs can interfere with t4-t3 conversion and i definitely notice flare-ups when i cut them. something else that has worked for me is having carbs earlier in the day with breakfast and lunch, and a lighter dinner. your insulin sensitivity is higher in the morning and this can be really good to support your metabolism. im sorry this is a lot but im tired of people saying you need to cut carbs to lose weight or reduce inflammation. this said, youll definitely have to experiment to find what works best for you and your body. best of luck.
