Just got my blood levels checked, tell me what you think. Just general opinion:
age: 39
Hieght: 6'
Weight: 190
Total Test: 510
Free Test: 101.6
SHBG: 33
% Free Test: 1.9
Estradiol: 22
Free Estradiol: .50
FSH 8.1
LH: 6.72
Just want to know if the levels are decent, is the Estradiol to high? is it a problem. I'm not taking anything, I lift 3-4x a week, and in ketosis
Estradiol looks good.
Lots of saturated fats, butter, beef lard, pork lard, coconut oil.
Stay away from carbs that raise glucose but eat low glycemic carbs.
Lots of high ORAC (clover, black pepper, cinamon, turmeric)
You want fasting insulin 5 or less.
spring water
Exercising likely is suppressing your testosterone.
We are creatures of light.
Make sure that you are exposing your whole body (including eyes) to the most sunlight possible.
Best sunlight is two hrs before and two hrs after solar noon.
Now we have saving daylight time, so it is 11AM-to 3PM.
Do not use any sunscreens, eyeglasses, window pane.
Minimize artificial light.
Instead of going to gym exercise outside, summer/winter.
Do not use supplemental vit D,
must come thru exposure to sun.
Vit D in supplements is not the same as via sun exposure.
-------
Keep testicles cold.
They are working overtime now (high LH, FSH),
but your pituitary senses good. Avoid sports that are prone to head hits.

If you go for that, make sure to first eat selenium for a month, then slowly start on Lugol's.

Stay on the sun until you get little over:
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxyvitamin D)(250nmol/L=100.16ng/mL)
First get used to sunlight, slowly for 2-3 weeks first, then full bore.
