Roman, I think it would be highly beneficial to consider adding Vitamin D3, Cortisol, and on the thyroid the Free T4 lab. Might also consider B12 if you haven't had it done.

thanks for the input. with LE, these are bundled packages, and i doubt i will have the ability to pick and choose ala carte. I'll call them and give it a try though. If that doesn't work out, would you be able to refer me to a place?

Yes, checkout privatelabsmd.com

Although they have the "bundled" hormone packages as well, you can also get the a la carte on the other labs. I also get discount codes that will give you an extra -15% off the order. So if you're interested, let me know, I'll find a code and send it to you.
