Female Hormones
Thyroid Medication: T3 and T4
The thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are tyrosine-based hormones produced by the thyroid gland primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. T4 converts to T3, with T3 being 3-4 times stronger than T4. Synthetic T4 (Synthroid) is often prescribed for people diagnosed with hypothyroidism ("sluggish thyroid").
OTC Fat Burners
There are lots of ‘fat burners' out there. Depending on how recently you've done a walk through a GNC, you may be more or less familiar with the different brands. It's been a long time since I walked through a GNC so I am not up on the latest. You may need to experiment with different products to see which works best with your own body chemistry, and also keeping in mind things such as whether you can take it on an empty stomach (e.g. if you're thinking AM fasted cardio). Generally IMO it's more important to find the one that allows you to function during the day and sleep at night, as opposed to worrying about getting tweaked out enough to "lose weight".
