Ketone esters, hypothyroidism

Hi all. Short time listener first time caller. Was introduced to Anthony as part of another program I am a part of. I have received a lot of value in reading some of the topics in this community already, which is appreciated.

I am interested in exploring ketone esters for the metabolic benefits. After speaking with Anthony on the topic am likely going to start with KetoneAid shots, assess, then try the Kinetic PRO, and then assess the right protocol. Will be starting at 2.5 grams of ketones a day and then assess if it makes sense keep consistent, to go up anywhere in the range of 5 grams or stop all together.

Am curious of the groups perspective on anything to be aware of/dangers of taking ketone esters with hypothyroidism? I understand ketosis makes it harder for the liver to convert T4 to t3. For context I am taking liothyronine and levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. Appreciate any insights you may have on cations with ketone waters and those medications as well as timing so as to not interfere with the medicines absorption.

I have also asked my endocrinologist for inputs and will share here once received. Thank you all.
