The part about women with Pitta dominance needing to be more cautious with long-term use is something I wish I'd read two years ago. Ended up with more heat and irritability than before — cutting the dose and adding cooling foods helped.

Really appreciate that this covers post-menopausal women specifically rather than lumping everyone over 40 together. The cortisol and sleep quality angle is where I've noticed the most difference after starting a low dose.

At 52 I was hesitant to try anything that might interfere with my thyroid meds, so the section on T3/T4 effects was exactly what I needed before deciding. Very grateful someone finally addressed this properly.
