Unanswered Bloodwork and questions
Started at 234 and 26.8% BF in April. Currently 202 and 20% BF. May be a touch lower now but no less than 19%. I haven’t had it checked in about two weeks. Up until about two years ago when I started a business I was always in shape and fairly lean (15-16% BF). Being on the road all the time... -

Yeah I agree. The reason I said that is I recently upped my carbs to around 50 g net per day. I haven't measured my ketone levels for about two weeks but I suspect I would be in that 0.5 mmol/L range which is the "start" of ketosis. -

Thanks for all the responses fellas. Will up calories a bit via primarily fats and protein. Also supplementing with iron, b12, and boron which I do not expect to have much impact on test levels. For the past 12 weeks I have been lifting in the 16-20 rep range with lighter weight. Today I moved... -

For the last several years I have been dealing with reduced libido and fatigue (especially in the afternoons). After I started a keto-ish diet (14 weeks ago), things seemed to get even worse especially on the libido front so I decided to order a full blood panel to see if anything was out of the... -

Unanswered Total serum estrogen levels
Not sure how I have three of these posts. I edited the original post so perhaps it made a new post instead of editing the old one. The site was really slow on that particular day. Thanks for the heads up. -

Unanswered Total serum estrogen levels
Just got back a bunch of blood work including a hormone panel. One of the parameters measured was “Total Serum Estrogen”. Is this the same as estradiol or is estradiol just a component? Also the normal range says 60-190 pg/ml. What is an ideal range? I am 35 years old - male. Thanks - TM -

Starting an Iron Legions Invictus and VII-KT run on Monday. I know from years of working with chemicals that absorption rates are highest in the scrotum area followed by the armpit and head area. Not planning on applying these products to my forehead or armpits but I know some apply to the... -
