Do your comfort zone levels change with age?

juliva

I have found in this past year that my levels that I have been comfortable with for over the past 10 years are now making me super hyper. My levels have always been in the hyper zone but that is where I have always felt good. Just wondering can this change with age.. I'm wondering if my metabolism is changing in some way? Thanks for any input. Juli

Definitely. In fact, as we age, FT3 and FT4 levels tend to go down. It's part of the reason older people slow down. I tend to think that demand also goes down.

What about menopause? Is that a factor? Changing estrogen levels also affect levels and demand.
