Interesting observation about body temperatures.

Hi Katie,

Love your book!

One thing I would strongly recommend though... I always took my morning temperatures under my armpit and was always discourages as the temps were so low.

A friend recommended under the tongue. I looked through your book and noticed that you recommend either way so I tried it. Well, my temps are consistently 1-1.5 degrees higher! I just think this info needs to be out there so women know it isn't apples to apples. I was convinced I had thyroid issues when in fact it was just the way I was measuring my temp.

Thank you so much for sharing your research. I will post your observations on my blog.

Best,

Katie Singer

Hi, Katie. Question came up on a group about 96.9 being an okay lower temp. Books such as Hypothyroidism by Barnes and Thyroid Power by Shames both point to temps under 97.8 being hypothyroidism.

Are you indicating at all in your low temp chart that such temps are normal? That’s what the question was to me.

Kind regards, Tammi McKinley
