Blood Results, Please Help Get Big Picture

Hi Everyone,
I got blood work done to see where i am at. My doc’s interpretation was “you’re ok” and not much beyond that.
While i can compare the results to the labs’ norms, unfortunately it doesn’t tell me much, so any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance! :slight_smile:

The Free T is where the rubber meets the road, the Free T is the biologically active stuff that crosses the cell membrane and interacts with the androgen receptors.

As SHBG rises in isolation, it will increase the Total T independent of the Free T.

Your calculated Free T is 19.2 ng/dL = 1.61 %. In cases of altered SHBG, it’s recommended you run a Free T equilibrium dialysis method.

You need to be careful with vitamin D supplements, because you risk hypercalcemia → high serum calcium.

Taking extra magnesium can exacerbate hypercalcemia.

Low leptin is linked to chronic starvation.

Hey Systemlord,
Thank you so much for your input, i really appreciate it!
I somehow missed my Free Testosterone 22,52 pg/ml (9,10-32,20)
So i guess overall I’m not looking too bad?
Low lepitin makes sense because of the fasting.
Extra vit D is because i live in northern part of Canada hence less sunlight, but i will definitely keep an eye on it as well as calcium & magnesium.
I’ve noticed that i also need to cut down on iron and zinc and get more K2 in my diet.
As for SHBG, does it make sense the get extra boron to free up extra T?

SHBG is the most difficult biomarker to manipulate. SHBG transports androgens and estrogens in blood and regulates their access to target tissues.

I wouldn’t fixate on SHBG because it doesn’t need your attention.

I also forgot, starvation increases SHBG.
