Hey everyone!

2019 April results (Fasted): https://imgur.com/a/sexylum
Points:
-As you can see, cortisol and the prolactin levels are high. The only thing i suspect causing this is my sleep and general stress/anxiety in my life. I got the blood taken at 8:30AM and literally that night before i had literally 1-2 hour of sleep from like 6:00-7:30AM and then was woken up by my alarm. I was anxious and nervous about NOT getting sleep that night which caused me to not sleep lol. I sleep ok normally, not the best but its okay. I am an anxious and stressed out person overall too, throughout the day etc so not sure if this would effect my blood tests.
Current symptoms:

Along with this, I also take:
-Thorne K2 4 drops a week.
-AC GRACE Vit E 400IU twice a week.
-Was eating 100g liver a week but eased off on it a sec as the taste repulses me.
-Use a lot of salt.
-CANNOT eat ANY form of dairy as it gives me bad eczema, I know my phosphorus/calcium is not optimal but got no choice really.
Thanks so much, I'm investigating this is all myself but always nice to have some of your pointers!

Current symptoms:
- Fatigue (Which I do feel could be related to the gut as i feel as though i get worse fatigue after eating a meal).
- Brain fog sometimes.
- Erections quality is really not great at all. (Although i do get crazy libido sometimes depending on anxiety).
- Skin: My overall eczema has improved SOOOO much, rarely get flare ups anymore, But i do still struggle with eczema on my hands (Being washed more often) and my facial skin is a mystery, It’s red easily/dry/tight and gets red, also have that issue with the sebaceous filaments which i can’t get to the bottom too.
- Hair loss (Just like MPB). But thin overall.
- Not completely optimal sleep, wake throughout the night, can’t ever sleep in.
- Body and facial hair growth is quite low. Despite high test, I don't have a deep voice either.
Lifestyle info:
- I’ve gone through long periods of weight lifting 5-6 times a week, but eased at the minute.
- Take no medication/hormones of any sort.
- Stay aligned with circadian rhythm through getting sun light in the morning/day time, avoiding blue light at night so that’s not a factor for my not so optimal sleep.
Questions:
- I’m going to re-test for cortisol and try and get a 24 hour urinary test but what could be causing this high cortisol? Especially as i had the same thing last year? Could it be my bad sleep the night before? What can i do to help this? Adrenal issue as I also have the high DHEA?
- Prolactin, again, could this be caused by the sleep the night before? It wasn’t as high last year at 250. What’s that about?
- Cholesterol is slightly too high, If you see last year cholesterol results compared to this year they’ve only increased VERY slightly despite consuming LOTS of butter/red meat/eggs over the last year. Is this a concern? I think from what i’ve seen it’s not an issue here. Should i be reducing my sat fat intake?
- Kidney markers: Creatinine high? I do eat a lot of meat/protein in general? But no more than 150g as i only weigh like 150 pounds.
