Hi,
I have lab results that are confusing for me. 1,000 ng/dl total (higher than 915 which is highest end of normal) but 10 pg/ml free (lowest end of normal is 9 units)
Before I get into it, my diet until the last couple weeks was basically:
a lot of red meat (mostly ruminants)
liver
seafood
eggs (10+ daily)
milk
other meat
honey and fruit very occasionally
butter
kefir
supplement magnesium, l theanine, smoke cigarettes
coffee makes me anxious
Basically no carbs or sugars, ever. Beyond a couple bananas every few days or bread when I remembered to. Recently reintroduced sugars btw and feeling good about it.
Anyway, my T levels now are absurdly high and my free T is very low. I got a blood test done three months ago and my levels were more normal then. I feel better now than I did a few months ago though. Generally now I feel pretty good.
Are these labs something to worry about? The sudden low free T is concerning me.
