Hi guys, recently found out about Ray Peat(rediscovered rather)and think the dude was fricken amazing. I was a trained osteopath and resonate with his philosophy very much. These results were from a visit to an endocrinologist, she was a bit clueless on why I presented with these findings "presented with low libido and absence of morning erections, in the context of normal erectile function. His total testosterone levels had been normal to high, therefore freetestosterone and SHBG were not done. It is likely that he has non-testosterone related libidoissues, for example stress, external +/- relationship factors. No issues with sexual intercourse" I would love to hear everybodies thoughts on what might be going on. The symptoms I experience have been going on since maybe early 20s. I am currently 29, no change.
She asked if I was on steroids haha to which the answer is definitely not.
Medication:Magnesium/ZInc supplementHerbal - Tongkat Ali / Boron

Examination Findings, Looks well BP 128/84, pulse 115 (on arrival - I had actually been running as I almost missed my appointment.. normal pulse around 60.)
Weight 81.2kg, height 182cm, BMI 23.5
No goitre
Normal facial hair volume and distribution
No gynaecomastia
Genitalia not examined
Total testosterone (T) 32.3 nmol/L (8.7-29.0) - was 20.2 on 22/09/17Negative ANA, dsDNA, coeliac screenNormal Hb (142), LFT, HbA1c (33), Na (1420, K(4.4), creatinine 117 (eGFR 74), CRP<1

Total T - 34.1 nmol/L (8.7-29.0) = normal/highFree T,
SHBG - not done by Lapplus as total T was >15FSH 10.3 (2-11),
LH 5.4 (2-11),
prolactin 222 (ref<240),
estradiol 122 pmol/L (ref<161)
DHEAS 4.7 umol/L (4.0-13.9)
17OH progesterone 2.8 nmol/L (<6.0)
Growth hormone 0.22 ug/L (0-24); IGF- 1 229 ng/ml (125-371) = normal
Cortisol 461nmol/L (normal),
ACTH 8 pmol/L (2-11)T4 17,

Thyroperoxidase antibody 29U/mL (<60)
PSA 0.5 (normal),
ferritin 105 ug/L (normal),
renal function - normal,
HbA1c 34 mmol/mo
More recently I've been diagnosed with CRS(chronic rhinosinusitis), severe polyps, consistently elevated eosinophils (0.8) for over a year since getting the vaccine (potentially just a coincidence though).
Thank you very much
