The high metabolic markers don’t shock me too much, as none are excessively out of range, and those that would be of actual concern are in range.
What shocked the hell out of me are the Test, Free Test, DHEA, E2 and T3.
You would expect, given that I eat like a horse and have absolutely no low hormone symptoms, that they would at least be CLOSE to normal. All except for the T3 are basically basement level, and that one’s still fairly low.
Thoughts?

I’m not taking anything. This is literally the first blood panel I’ve ever had done in my life.
Age: 33.

I’d re test hormone levels a few times spread out over the next few months to get a better idea of where you really stand.
It wasn’t recent. Almost all of my current changes were made about a year and a half ago now, when I hit 150 lbs. bodyweight and started lifting. All of the major weight loss occurred between 2011 and 2015.

Don’t have one. Pulled labs through PMDL.
I’ve avoided the medical community like the plague since I was a teenager. Call it a suspicion of motive, given that my mom spent years with doctors and kept getting run through a milieu of drugs that did nothing for her health issues when all she really needed to do was unfuck her diet and stop sitting on her ass. Heh.

Oh, I am absolutely thrilled with the results. “Got it in one”, so to speak.
From what I’ve heard, a lot of guys struggle to get their shit in range for months, if not years, juggling all kinds of compounds and various drugs. My body seems to be doing rather well with the default starting dose of Test-E and no ancillaries, so we shall see how it goes from here.
