chris said:I'm not sure if I'm missing something but why is anyone getting tests at all? All the things we talk about are moving all the hormones in the right direction, or are people wondering about what drugs to take?

Health > Labs - more general
Ask for Help or Advice < Blood Work, Labs - more specific users
I would specifically look out for posts of Mittir and Haidut.
Have you seen the search function in Quick Links? This is my favorite way to search for key words or posts of specific users.
You might find interesting answers to questions you have not asked yet , but it's not necessary to comb trough all posts in order to find information about lab values. I did a quick search:thegiantess said:post 116107 Hi, thanks for the input, but I still don't find anything of relevance. I imagine if I combed through every post where someone has asked for help I might find something. Ah well.
post 104864 RP thinks ideally TSH should be below 0.4 and he has never seen a person comfortably healthy with
TSH above 2. Low TSH does not mean one has good thyroid function.
You will need Total T4, total T3 and reverse T3 with TSH to get a good idea about your
thyroid status.
post 106368 RP recommends total T3 and total T4 tests. You will need to know
reverse T3 to interpret free T3. His general commendation is that
total T4 in lower end of normal range and Total T3 at the higher end
of normal.
Interviews mentioned by Mittir:Mittir said:post 18650 RP thinks prolactin is a major indicator of good health and it should be 4-7 for male fertility and for female 2- 12. Normal lab range used to be 2-12.
Ray Peat said:[Blood test - vitamin D] I think 50 ng/ml is a good goal. The point at which it lowers parathyroid hormone would be the right amount.
RP: It's good to have albumin well above 40 and blood glucose anywhere from 70 to 110, and Potassium and Sodium should be around the middle of the scale.
