Hashimotos Disease?

I am hoping to become more enlightened here. I have Hashimoto's and was diagnosed about about 12 years ago. Prior to that, I was on 88mcg levothroxine since 1995 for abnormal TSH. My doctor at the time did not check for autoimmune conditions but the treatment was the same anyway. At the moment I am on 75 mcg. Synthroid. (About 10 years ago, my TSH dropped to .3 caused by a bad recalled batch of levo. Was then switched to Synthroid) At the moment, I am seeing a different functional doctor, who wants me to try NDT. My latest TSH was 1.2, at age 68. I have other issues, my main one of concern is osteoporosis. My question is that I see many people say they "feel better" on NDT. What exactly is" feel better"? My new dr. hasn't said that it would be better for the osteoporosis, but I get the idea that she thinks so, and she says I would "feel better". I do have some anxiety, but I figured that went with the Hashimotos. Anyone switch from Synthroid to NDT? I am also concerned about the possibility of NDT being taken off the market with the latest scrutiny of the medication. Anyone have similar experiences?
