RBC was 5.62 last CBC I had done. I’m pretty certain I was good about avoiding Vitamin C and D during the 2 times I ran the protocol, but in another week or so I’ll run it again and strictly eat just chicken/rice and protein powder for the 5 days and see if there’s any change and report back.

Maybe a dumb thought but perhaps worth asking, could nicotine consumption affect either the results of my test or the effectiveness of the protocol itself? I don’t smoke anymore (from ages ~16-19 I was a social smoker, probably like 2 packs a year) but I do use nicotine gum. I’m going to...

Test for the hemochromatosis gene (C282Y and H63D) came back negative. Did another 4 days of your protocol and got my levels checked again and my ferritin was 35. So 1 point higher than last time but still lower than my original result of 40. Tsat, TIBC, and everything else was normal...

Late reply, but my hemoglobin actually went from 17.1 down to 16.2 (which I assume is just a normal day-to-day type fluctuation?). HCT from 50.9 to 47.6 as well. My Doc tested me for hemochromatosis, still waiting for a result on that though. I'm thinking it could also be celiac, but I had an...

Understood, thanks. I do have an in-lab sleep study at the end of the month so we'll see how that goes. I'm just paranoid that nothing will come up because I was negative for apnea in my home study and don't have any clear symptoms of any other major sleep disorder, so I'm just slowly chipping...

So forgive me for these dumb questions I'm about to ask but I'm 24 years old, a little dumb, and very sleep deprived. I should note that I am not on TRT, my test level is ~550, I actually stumbled upon this thread because I've been having severe sleep issues for the past ~2 years that have been...

Got an initial ferritin level of 40, tested on 12/19. Did one week of your protocol (felt much better energy wise and still do since) but according to a test I had done yesterday at Quest, my ferritin levels actually dropped to 34. Any thoughts?
