Testosterone and Thyroid blood test results

[Meathead]

Hi guys, I was finally able to get some blood work done through my doctor. I need help with interpreting these results. My doctor said my results were fine but I may have low test and thyroid. What do you all think?

Thank you!!

Did they give you T3 and T4 numbers? Those 2 results look reasonable to me but they don't say much.

I don’t think they gave anything else but these two markers. I did ask to see if they would send me t3,t4 levels.

These readings are "normal" but if you have all the negative symptoms, other things are at play, such as low free T or low T3 or other things.

These 2 tests hardly say much.

He wouldn’t give me those readings unless those two levels were lower…ugh…I accumulate a lot of stomach fat but have a lot of muscle everywhere else especially arms. Does that signify test or thyroid without testing would you be able to figure that out?

Probably both. High cortisol can also lead to fat gain around the midsection. Also eating too much for too long.

What is the most powerful cortisol lowering substance in your opinion? It can be hard to balance eating enough to avoid stress response with over-eating.

Aspirin worked great for me. Also magnesium, taurine and balanced meals with fatty red meat and salty starches.
6-keto progesterone + androsterone should also be an interesting combination. I've only used andro before, which was pretty good.

Your conversion is likely fine, so T4 only should work. Do you have hypothyroid symptoms? Also where's your TSH at?

That might simply be high cortisol or low DHEA or just low bioavailable androgens. Impaired gut health can also play a role. Have you ever done an organic acid test?

Back in 2020 I did and I had high clostridium. I wonder if it’s also cortisol because I put on muscle quickly so I don’t think it’s test.
