  1. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Quite alright - I am definitely no expert, just learning myself out of necessity! Yeah I don't think it would be a quick fix with it - if methylation hasn't been working for a while then you may even get worse first as I understand it. I think it would be important to test first and find out...

    Yeah - the presentation there talks about 5MTHF methylfolate (note- note methyl folic acid, no such thing). That is one supplement which I have started. Avoided caffeine as I was getting crashes after drinking it. Ostensibly I did it as its not supposed to be great for adrenals. I'd imagine if...

    If you're interested in a brief presentation in how blockages in methylation can contribute towards lower T levels, depression, anxiety, CFS etc then have a look at this: h ttp://vimeo.com/33039195#

    To update my own situation: I've had my 23andme genetic results gone over and its clear I've got a few problems with methylation. Major ones being being an MTHFR mutation a CBS mutation and COMT mutation. I'm now on a low sulfur diet (cut out onions, garlic, cruciferous veg, dairy) and been on...

    If its for the NutrEval you will need to go and have it drawn in Harley St so it can be centrifuged etc. I personally have a close friend who is consultant and he simply registered with Genova for me and also drew the blood which I then posted. (Genova send you the vacutainer / needle etc)...

    Sounds promising but don't get your hopes up. Latest endo I saw was Professor and on the board of Androgen Society in the UK. Thought I was fine with a level of 9.9 ... Hope you have better luck!

    I'd definitely request an endo consultation. They're not great but they can perform ultrasounds / MRIs to rule out structural problems with your pituitary or testicles. If there is damage to either then you may well need TRT, if not however then I'd keep digging.

    Sorry hadn't seen this Mr TT. Its no mucus but swelling instead. With a post nasal drip as well. Water does help it and it actually hasn't been as pronounced the last 3-4 nights. (The changes I've made in the last 10 days include dropping all supplementation and starting Test - Cyp )

    Thanks for the suggestion. In terms of gluten sensitivity, I've had two basic tests one from Genova FACT and the Metametrix GI Effects show no real problems with gluten. Having said that I have cut out gluten anyway for the last 8 months, very strictly, but can't really report any improvements...

    Thanks for the input - I'm having my consultation tomorrow though so will being going off suggestions thoroughly. Will try and keep this thread more up to date. I would say, from what I now understand, I think I'd have been better off doing some of the testing the other way round. They're...

  11. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    As an update- I've had the Metametrix GI Effects stool test done and no real problems were found there; no chronic infections etc I do have some malabsorption of fats. I've had hair tissue mineral analysis and no real levels of toxic metals have been found. I've also had Lyme testing done...

  12. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Just to update - I haven't been on in a couple of weeks as I've been trying to zone out from all the researching and reading as a means of chilling out on the stress of the whole situation. But I am only 10 days into some of the changes that I discussed with Shawn (some of which JanSZ noted)...

  13. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Have pm'd you as have not got mail yet? I'm bowing to you on this one, as I've done zero research into the gut really or methylation. All of my effort has been spent trying to learn about hormones this past 12 months so I'm fresh out of mental energy! You were right to call the gut early on...

  14. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Thanks man- interesting to know about your experience with the T3 - as you say its likely not time to try that. The other half of my nutreval test confirmed I have zero allergies or intolerances, including to gluten, grains or dairy. I, like you, have cut out all bread etc anyway as I don't...

  15. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    For anyone still following along I read this article which briefly explains the gut - thyroid connection. Invalid Link Removed The theory I'm currently considering: Overtraining and calorie restriction drives up my cortisol and RT3 resulting in lowered immunity and low body temperature. Some...

  16. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Have just got my latest bloods back from my endo as well. Taken at 1:15pm which I know is not optimum for measuring testosterone but its rock bottom neverthless. Cortisol over the top of the range which ties in with my salivary cortisol results. ACTH also firing to full capacity. So much for...

  17. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Ok if lead is the least of my concerns then I am completely lost - can you clear some inbox space so I can PM you re: a consultation. Thanks

  18. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    I was listening all along my good man I just did not have the finances to get the nutreval done until now. How do I go about removing this lead then? Just increase vitamin C to a high dose? Or do I need to investigate chelation therapies?

  19. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    My NutrEval has just come through! Would really appreciate everyones help with having a look at it, especially yours Matrix. I haven't uploaded the FACT1 part as I have zero food allergies or even intolerences to report. I'm fine with wheat and dairy which are two things I'd cut out but may not...
