I got blood work done

[Oatnut]

Hi

I got my blood work done and I'm wondering how my levels are looking. I realize I didn't get all the tests necessary but from what is here, should I be concerned about anything?





I'm 22 years old, low energy levels and brain fog are my concerns for getting the blood work done.

Thank you

You've posted this twice in two different sections.

Repost from your other thread which. This one is almost in the correct forum at least!

Your TT, FT are at healthy levels, your SHBG is higher than the ranges, im unsure if/how this would effect lethargy.

There is no reading for Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, or Iron.
Are you anaemic? There are several versions of Anaemia, first is iron deficiency, second is B12 deficiency.

Your SHBG in sky high.

Are you following a diet? What is your %bf? Any diagnosis of hyperthyroidism?

Because Im curious... what does the SHBG do, and how would it effect anything? #EducateTheKrugerr

It binds sex hormones, with DHT having the highest affinity. High SHBG means less free DHT and test available for receptors, and E2 as well, unless the latter is the culprit for high SHBG.

Some might argue the bio-available test (free plus albumin bound) is the best way to measure how much test is actually available for receptors, since the albumin-test bound is weak, but I suspect it will still have an hard time crossing the BBB (blood-brain-barrier).

OP free test is good, but the problem with DHT and E2 still remains.

Yes I wasn't sure which sub forum to post in. I am not anaemic.

I am not following a specific diet, I eat my proteins, veggies, fruits, fats etc. I eat well. I am unsure of my bf levels, I would guess somewhere in the 10-20 range. No diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, although a few of hyperthyroidism I can relate to. Anxiety, nervousness and sleep problems are all things I experience.

So DHT and E2, are they high? If e2 is my estrogen, perhaps it could be causing problems. Maybe my e2 is far out of range?

Just wanna say thanks to everyone helping me out, I appreciate it greatly.

Nope they are probably bound to SHBG, which inactivates them. I cannot see a reason why your E2 could be high.

How would you estimate your daily kcal intake? Insulin from carb intake can help to lower SHBG.

You might consider supplementation: Vitamin D (at least 2000IU daily), fish oil, Zinc, Boron glycinate.

Unfortunately SHBG has a very long half life and that means it takes several weeks to lower.


How do you know you are not anaemic? What is your weight/height?

[Oatnut]

My Cal's vary, 2500-3500 depending on my day. I supplement with vit d, fish oil and zma. I'll look in to the boron though and see what that does.

I do not know that I am or not anaemic. I'm 6'5, 200 lbs.

Just a thought - it could be the cause of the drowsiness, fatigue and fog.

If you'd had Haemoglobin or Iron levels, we could have discounted it.

[Oatnut]

Does anything on this list help?? My RBC is in there and in range

[hammerheart]

You sure you never used aas? SERMS (clomid, nolva) can also upregulate SHBG.

Without obvious reasons is really difficult to pinpoint what triggered the issue.

Having chronic low iron myself (even with normal CBC) I can relate to that.

Haemglobin and Haematocrit are in range, although I cant comment on anything else.

Try supplementing Iron and B12 into your regime

I know this simply because my partner had it during pregnancy.
Its then that I discovered that Anaemia isnt simply Iron deficiency, but can have several causes.

[Oatnut]

I have never used any Aas, nothing.

I will look in to supplementing with iron and b12, thanks for your input

E; Just googled vit b12 deficiency and the symptoms listed are things I can def relate to.

Start dosing up and see how you respond. It might be nothing, but could be something!
