Carnivore Diet: Hypothyroid?

I think I might be hypothyroid. For over a month and a half now, I have gained weight despite high calorie restriction and higher exercise. My menses is late. I have a few other symptoms of hypothyroid such as dry skin, fatigue, low blood pressure, and depression. I did notice in my last blood panels back in May that the free T3 score was considered low. TSH was normal, so I didn't think anything of it. But low T3 also aligns with hypothyroid. And I have vitiligo and Crohn's disease, which are autoimmune disorders, and related.

I am going to take a home iodine sufficiency test using iodine extract on the skin. If it shows I am low, I will try to increase the iodine in my diet by eating more scallops, mussels, and clams, and perhaps use an iosol supplement.

I will try to get more sleep, because I often only get 5 or 6 hours of sleep.

I will increase my calorie intake. Apparently calorie restriction can cause hypothyroid.

I might look into HIIT, which is supposed to help. And for stress relief, I will continue infrared sauna.
