I wonder how the TSH levels were a week before the 3 day fasting, I'm curious if that -2.37 delta is from only fasting or your TSH varies that much too often.

Good question. I tend to be on the higher side but after doing a 5-day water fast, several 3-day ones and IF year round I’ve seen that fasting more than 1 day has a significant impact on my* hormones.

Good or bad effect on hormones?

What is the impact of fasting on hormones?

It would be interesting to see the same breakdown analysis with different diets.

What type of diet would be of most interest?

There are a few fad diets that keep coming back, for example:

* Paleo

* Keto

* Something with (only) liquids
