Body temperature is controlled by the Pituitary gland. It's a small, almond sized structure at the base of the brain that controls body temperature, blood pressure and controls the function of many other glands such as thyroid. It could just be that your Pituitary has a lower set point and that's just your normal temperature. It might be something to investigate next time you go to your doctor. Also, get a blood glucose meter and check your blood sugar level before and after eating a high carb snack. If it drops dramatically afterwards, you may very well be hypoglycemic... Low body temp and normal thyroid test may also indicate Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, where the body is making enough Thyroid hormone, but the cells are not converting it properly.

Can you use armor thyroid for weight loss?

No. Armour Thyroid should never be used for weight loss and will not cause weight loss in people with NORMAL Thyroid Function. For people who are HypOthyroid (underactive Thyroid) Armour Thyroid can help them lose weight the way people with normal thyroid lose weight - but only if they are following a diet/exercise regimen. It will not CAUSE weightloss. It will however make it possible for those with Hypothyroid to lose weight - which many could not without Armour.

I do not believe so, because the insulin acts more closely with the pancreas and liver. The thyroid gland usually enlarges, and forms a goiter, if you are lacking in iodine, or if you have hyperthyroid or hypothyroid.

Thyroid medication is not commonly associated with loss of smell and taste as a direct side effect. However, fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels, whether from underactive or overactive thyroid conditions, can impact sensory functions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience these symptoms while on thyroid medication, as they could be related to other underlying issues or medications.
