    Update: Haemochromatosis C282y Gene - Negative Serum Iron 18 umol/l (10-30) Serum TIBC 53umol/l (40-70) Saturation Iron Binding Capacity 34% Serum Ferritin 117 (30 - 330 ug/l) Looks like its not haemochromatosis then. Iron levels fell as expected after giving blood once. Now waiting on the...

  2. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    Appointment with new endo today was laughable. You'd think I'd be frustrated or annoyed but unfortunately its just the sub-standard care I've come to expect from the NHS. Told it likely wasn't a hormone problem, that despite being just inside the reference range I should have zero symptoms of...

    Thanks Matrix. Would be useful to get RBC mineral testing but nowhere in the UK offers it unfortunately.

    Only have SHBG and Ferritin from January but they are: Ferritin 203 ugl (30-330) SHBG 30nmoll (13-71) Is the only way to confirm a diagnosis of haemochromatosis through genetic testing? Is a Haemotologist my best bet? If it is not that then are there other causes for high iron, other than...

    Matrix - I am in need of your help once more. Your persistance with me and in encouraging me to test for minerals / nutritional imbalances may finally have paid off. I received the results of an iron panel this morning amongst some other results and was suprised by the findings. I had been...

    Hi matrix- think I may have a nutreval in the next couple of weeks as have moved back in with the parents so I can spend all of my salary on treatment. I wanted to ask something though while I think on. Have you got any links to studies on mdma / cocaine affect on neurotransmitters or hpta...

  7. Temporary TRT to spare pregnenolone in adrenal fatigue

    Would there be any mileage in replacing your own T at TRT dosage for say a 8-12 week cycle to accelerate the repair process of the body and spare much of the pregnenolone to go to cortisol? Then stop the TRT with HCG and SERM? It's not something I am about to try but just wondering about the...

  8. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    But if I'm not sure what I need to buy to support myself or correct the imbalances? The only imbalance I can see in my tests so far is low testosterone, lowish cortisol and high RT3, low body temperature. Out of all of the supplements I have tried so far only pregnenolone seems to have had a...

  9. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    I will hopefully have enough for the Nutreval by next month, I don't see any other option in the way of testing. If it doesn't show up anything useful then I am at my wits end and will be begining self prescribed TRT. My relationship has just ended and my job is hanging by a thread so there...

  10. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    I have just e-mailed the spectracell rep as apparently they are now testing in the UK, it should be significantly cheaper hopefully. I have no problem spending the money,once saved, as long as I know it is well spent.

    Any suggestions for a UK lab? Genenova don't seem to do it

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

    matrix-what is your opinion on hair mineral analysis? Is it useful or quackery? I cannot afford the £700 for nutra Eval but can afford £50 for hmta. Would this be a a good idea to rule out heavy metals or coppet/zinc imbalances?

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

    I agree with youx and I have no desirto start on TRT, but the nutra Eval is out of my price range for now so I am trying to. work with the tests I have had so far. Your theory on heavy metals could make sense with my high zinc intake until recently I will get zinc and coper tested -have...

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

    I do agree with the theory of trying to get to the bottom of it but at the minute I can't afford the Nutra Eval - I am saving though. As ever your info is useful- the Albumin, could that be high if I had too high levels of Zinc? I had been taking 65mg Zinc pincolinate per day since being...

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

    Had some new blood labs back and the Pregnenolone I have been taking seems to be slowly increasing Testosterone and morning cortisol Free Testosterone .274 nmol/l (0.02 - 0.67NMOL/L) Albumin 53g/L (35 - 50g/l) SHBG 30nmol/l (13 - 71) Total Testosterone 14.3 nmol/l (8.50 - 29.0) Prolactin 238...

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

    have had some more blood results back and my progesterone is on the low side, supporting the theory of preg-steal. Can't get preg itself tested over here unfortunately. Progesterone: 2nmol/l (1.2 - 5.3) Ab to Thyroid peroxidase 4 IU/ML (0-80) Ab to Thyroglobulin 9 IU/ML (0-80) Vitamin B12 1234...

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

    Am I right in thinking though if the cause was chronic overtraining / dieting and the subsequent starvation response, and I stopped all that 4 months ago, that it should have cleared on its own by now if it was going to?

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

    Matrix what is your take on T3 only therapy to correct high RT3? I am going to have RT3 tested but my hypothyroid symptoms with a normal Thyroid panel in conjunction with the issues starting when overtraining and intermittent fasting would seem to fit the diagnosis.

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

    I am looking into getting the Nutra Eval kit from Genova, however I may not be able to afford the full kit if I can't get it for free. I may be able to afford the FACT kit which tests allergies and intoleranes. Interestingly, on another forum a PT suggested I dropped all grain products and all...

  20. 25 Year old UK guy, low testosterone / adrenal dysfunction?

    that sounds like an interesting theory, although perhaps odd that I have never had these symptoms before then.. My Adrenal Stress Index results are just back in today, can anyone comment on them? Sample1: 17.9 nmol/l (12-22) Sample2: 5.3 nmol/l (5-9) Sample3: 3.4nmol/l (3-7) Sample4...
