In terms of hormones, I’d say get your free test, total test, lh, fsh, shbg, dht, dhea, prolactin, estradiol, tsh, t4 t3, reverse t3, cortisol, etc.

Most physicians just order the things to get tested; so if you were to be getting bloodwork ordered by a physician, you’d probably just want to let them know what you want tested. Some physicians aren’t the smartest and can often order the wrong tests or just not even bother to order half of the ones I listed. There’s probably other things you’d want tested as well. Do you think that your issues are related to testosterone?

I’d get the stuff I mentioned tested then; they all work together and effect one another, so I think it’s important to get them all tested. I’d also do some reading online to get a better understanding and maybe even find more stuff to get tested as well.

Sounds like it's not bad at all and diet, like less sodium, and better sleep would probably get it to perfect.
 
soo they have my blood results but wont tell me until i go see them tomorrow for an appt

they said nothing bad just elevated cholestoral and liver

i got my test number and they said 360 which was "fine" but reading stuff online thats the lowest normal reading

Appears like you have low testosterone. What about the rest of the testing? Thyroid, vitamin D, Folate/B12, Iodine, estradiol, etc?

I’m guessing you’re referring to your tsh when you say thyroid. A 4.3 is abnormally high, which indicates that your pituitary is recognizing an insufficiency in t3, t4, etc. For tsh, anything above 3 is actually pretty damn high and is something to definitely look deeper into. Having insufficient thyroid levels will have a impact on a lot of other hormones. I recommend you find a better physician; clearly they have no idea what they’re doing given that they didn’t acknowledge your requests and especially that they ignored your abnormal tsh level.
 
Let me add that thyroid function depends on having adequate Iodine levels. Agree you need a better doctor.
