Princk your finger and taste. If not salty you are low in iron.

If ur aytistic enough to pay for blood test then that means ur low in carbohydrate which is food for the brain.

You should eat refined sugary cereal like utube man say. High in riboflavin and b vitamin

Why do you need these hormones tested? Bloodwork is full of deception for hormones. It frequently will not tell you anything useful unless you depend on the doctor to give you something that is determined by his judgement of bloodwork. To make matters worse, nobody seems to understand what the measurements mean, including many endocrinologists. A popular meme in circulation right now is "free testosterone" being good and SHBG is bad. Not only is it likely that testosterone can enter cells when attached to a carrier protein, but SHBG can bind to estrogen and keep it out of cells, while free flowing polyunsaturated fats will block estrogen from attaching to SHBG.

Doctors also use bloodwork as a general excuse not to help someone with effective hormones or nutrition.

>T4 levels were normal. You don't need thyroid supplementation

Meanwhile the patient has all the classic signs of hypothyroidism such as widespread edema. Medicine is backwards. Some people need a generally safe and useful hormone supplement to overcome their circumstances, not to make hormone levels "normal", whatever that means. It doesn't matter if others get by with X quantity of Y hormone. If it treats the symptoms and is generally safe, it should be administered, because these things are often like biological money. Some people have to spend more to purchase health and overcome their debt of disease.

You want a leg up on your health and fitness? Why wait? Doesn't matter what your estrogen levels are at all. Take B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacinamide in particular, and your liver will start deactivating estrogens faster right away. They are extremely safe and dirt cheap, especially if you buy bulk powders, not anywhere near $400, lol. Or maybe you just want answers. Look in the mirror. It'll give you the answer right now unlike a doctor trying to weasel his way out of the truth. Is your face fat or aging? Yep, you could use more antistress hormones, less estrogen. It's really that simple unless you're the doctor looking for an excuse not to take action.

OP, where do you live? Even in Brazil I fna get bloodwork done for the equivalent of 10USD. You just go, pay, arrange a date, then they take your blood and you can get the results a few days later. No doctors required.

Thanks for the tips. Forgot to mention in the op that I need to get blood done because of roids. I need to keep my liver and estrogenic activity in check. I want to get it done before and during my cycle.

What grinds my gears the most is the fact that it's easier to become a faggot than to get testosterone from fuckin' Dr. Noseberg; if you say you want to become a "woman", the doctors will go to great lengths to make sure you get HRT.

Last time I got my bloods done, I was living abroad and it was cheap to get it done, even privately. Everything was within range except for slightly high T3 and T4.

I live in Scandinavia. Most of these damn tests you can get done fairly cheaply in the US/UK, but here they cost an arm and a leg.

Shameless self-bump.

I don't know a lot about Europe, but from what I've seen in movies, you can drive across it. Why not drive somewhere cheap if it's worth it? They'd need to send online results preferably.
