u/Terrible-Reasons

Hi...just like the title says. My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and is interested in trying microdosing GLP-1s for possible inflammation benefits. I’m curious what others are doing, specifically what medication you’re taking and at what dose.

Sometimes it gets confusing comparing doses because semaglutide and tirzepatide use different dosing scales, but all the numbers people mention (.25, .5, 1, etc.) start sounding the same after a while.

Also curious whether the thyroid warning concerns you at all with Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism.

Thanks for any feedback .

Has anyone here taken a GLP-1 primarily for PCOS symptoms/metabolic issues and not for appetite and "food noise"? If so, how is it going? What did you take (type/amt)?

My doctor is bringing them up because of insulin resistance/prediabetes labs, elevated cholesterol/triglycerides, inflammation markers, etc., and I’m trying to understand what benefits people with PCOS noticed outside of just the number on the scale. I do need to lose weight but I don't struggle with appetite, sometimes forgetting to eat all day till dinner.

Did anyone notice improvements in things like:

- cycles/ovulation

- inflammation

- fatigue/energy

- skin

- hair growth/loss

- testosterone levels

- cravings/blood sugar crashes

- mood/anxiety

- overall feeling physically better

I feel like most GLP-1 discussions online are very hunger centered, and I’m more curious about the PCOS/metabolic symptom side of it. I recently looked at Lavender sky health, and just trying to decide if I should do it.

Thanks !
