So three days ago I had my first blood work done, ever. Today they were faxed to me from the doctor, with the recommendation I eat more protein and healthy foods such as fish and meats.... That's kind of odd as I have AT LEAST 160grams a day no matter what, usually a lot more. I eat ONLY healthy foods, no butter loaded or fat exploding dishes, and almost no simple sugars other than fruits(eating around 2200 cals a day right now).
Doctor also said that I may be taking too much tylenol and maybe drinking way too much. Weird, haven't had a sip of alcohol in 2 months, and no tylenol in I can't remember how long.
I'm turning 20 in 3 days, I'm 6' 1", and now around 177lbs.
Here's what is out of range:
Absolute LYMPHOCYTES: 1197, Normal is 1200-5200cells/uL
BILIRUBIN: 1.4, Normal is 0.2-1.1 mg/dL (doctor said this means liver toxicity)
White Blood Cell Count: 3.2, Normal is 4.5-13 thousand/uL
Platelet Count: 110, Normal is 140-400 thousand/uL
Absolute NEUTROPHILS: 1610, Normal is 1800-8000 cells/uL
TRIGLYCERIDES: 34, Normal is 38-152 mg/dL
HDL CHOLESTEROL: 73, Normal is 31-65 mg/dL
^^^My total cholesterol is 166, and LDL is 86(those two are normal)
::::
Now, luckily I convinced the doctor to take my free testosterone as well, as she was reluctant saying that normally they don't do that unless there is a reason. I told her I just really wanted to know, and she was able to get it done.(without other hormones like estrogen though)
Although this didn't show as out of range, so I don't think she took notice, my levels were 271 ng/dL, while the reference range for adult males was 241-827 ng/dL. Now this kind of gets me thinking, because I'm 19 years old, and I haven't had a high libido since I was 16.(for about 8 months with this crazy girlfriend, all I wanted to do was ram her everyday). After that though, I hadn't had steady sex in a while, and maybe just some on and off flings. Now I could care less about sex, and literally sometimes don't masterbate because I'm too lazy. Maybe once every two weeks...
For a month and a half my daily supplements have looked like this:
1 MegaMen's sport Multivitamin
1 Green Tea Capsule(365mg)
2 Fish Oil Capsules
2-3 grams pure L-arginine (1g morning, 1g at night, 1g pre-workout)
5 grams pure Creatine Mono (Either morning or Post workout)
1 Slim Xtreme capsule in the morning
1 serving of ZMA before bed every night
(last week also have been using some leftover DCP)
Other than that I also take whey isolate post workout, and protein blends before bed or as meal replacements.
My diet is solid. Healthy foods, lean meats, complex carbs, barely any HFCS, fruits, a lot of veggies, and healthy fats.
::::
Does anyone have any insight into why I'm off in my blood work? And maybe the low testosterone is keeping me from the gains I should be making. I fear also having a higher estrogen level, but I can't be sure as I don't know.
I want to do something about this, what type of doctor should I see? And has anyone else had similar problems?
