Rate My Labs: 43 - Test & Thyroid Low Normal...

[JYD]

Hi Gang:

I get my annuals done every year at this time, and have recorded results for the last 3 years. Two things: my Free/Total Test and E2 dropped pretty significantly this year and my Thyroid panel remains Low-normal and has for years, borderline Hyperthyroidism. I'm going to be 44 in December and I'm not desiring to jump into TRT just yet.

I'm 5'10", 185lbs, workout 4-5 days a week, eat a pretty clean diet and multiple times a day.

I usually take LJ100 for about 5-6 weeks, then take 2 off and also supplement with maca 5 days a week. This has been my regiment for about 4 years now. I can't understand why my E2 would drop so much.

I'm going to be 44 in December and I'm not desiring to jump into TRT just yet.

I was laid off two months ago and my anxiety and stress has increased a bit, so maybe that explains the substantial drop from previous years. Please weigh in on what you guys think about this and my labs below. THANK YOU!

Thyroid panel remains Low-normal
=======================================
Instead of eating multiple times a day, attempt to eat once or twice within 4-6 (daylight hours).
Preferably eat lots of fat, bacon, beef tally, olive, avocado oils.
Easy on drinking water, drink only a little bit, only when thirsty. (Do not drink a lot at one time).
Do your workouts outside, mostly naked, rain, or shine. (Circadian Rhythm).
Spend lots of time outside, naked, no glassed, no sunscreens, (to raise your (extremely low) vit D to 120-150.
Do (fasting insulin) test, additionally or instead of o glucose and HgA1c. Aim at (2-5) values.
Thinking of thyroid
do FT3 and RT3 tests.
At long rest, measure your
temperature under tongue
heartbeat
%SpO2
You may be low in thyroid if less than 36.6C
You may want to supplement with NTH (Natural Thyroid Hormone from pigs), 0-5 grains/day but watch your resting pulse, do not go over 80bpm
For NTH to be effective you need to have good Circadian Rhythm (it looks bad for now).

You have SUPER low cholesterol. That is even worst than your low vit D.
Cholesterol is a building material for hormones and cells.
We are just a collection of cells.

There is more.
