My hemoglobin and hematocrit are always good. However have been reading alot about health benefits of donating blood. Is a double RBC better for lowering ferritin? And will it not change WBC ? My WBC is always low end has been my whole life.

Actually after further research I think it means hgh from a cadaver. So trt and thyroid are only media I'm on don't see either one so i think I'm good?

Does this mean if and one time prescribing of hgh for a few months you can never donate?

Great to have you on here Dr. When taking armour thyroid how you recommend dosing when blood testing. Taking the pill then testing soon after or taking the blood test before the daily dose of armour thyroid?

I always was instructed to take the thyroid blood tests before the daily dose of armour thyroid. Was watching a video with Jay Campbell and Dr Arron Grossman who runs checked.com for trt and Dr Grossman said take thyroid meds then blood test within five hours after taking the daily dose...

This Dr seems the think a level of 80 is the greatest thing anyone can do to live longer. http://aarongrossmanmd.com/tag/ferritin-test/ Very long but interesting video.

Hearing more and more about ferritin levels being maybe the most important thing one can do to be healthy. What levels do you guys feel are ideal I'm thinking 60-120 at the most.

Johndoesmith is that basically you saying he is being over the top ?

Peakt over at peak testosterone forum posted he is concerned with vitamin d levels of 61 ng/ml. I would be curious if Dr. Saya could chime or some of the other drs on here on how high of a level is too high? I know I've heard Dr Osborn say before 10,000 daily is the normal he likes his patients...

Nelson where do you aim to keep your vitamin d levels at when measuring ng/ml?

Keep us posted on the protocol he sets up for you. He has a great reputation but don't know anyone on here that uses him.

I just had my folate and b12 checked. B12 range 200-1100 Mine 1345 Folate range >4.5 Mine 11.8 I guess I don't need to suppplement any extra b12 after all. I guess folate at 11.8 is ok?? Just says normal range is >4.5 which I am

Interesting do they feel armour isn't as strong or what did they tell you?

Gotcha. They recommend you switch to nature throid ? Or are they ok with armour? I was thinking bout switching from armour to naturethroid but havnt mentioned it too Dr yet but seems that is the med of choice these days.

Yeah the tsh thing makes sense. You probably should just let defy handle the thyroid too. Where did defy say they would like to see your free t3 level at?

I know you feel good now but can't help but think getting free t 3 above 3.5 even closer to 4 you would feel even better. So your current doctor is hesitant?

Does defy think your free t3 is too low?

How much armour on you on? How's ur numbers?

Why would or should you switch then?

Did you switch to naturethroid from armour?

Are you still taking 5000 mcg b12 daily Vince?

If wanting to take 5000 mcg b12 methyl sublingual daily to raise levels will i deplete folate levels if they are normal? I've heard some doctors say taking b12 alone could cause folate deficiency.

Anyone tried pea protein instead of whey?

Taking armour thyroid 90 mg. Normally take it on empty stomach two hours before eating in am. When doing blood test normally do the test at 8 am. I've always taken the armour five to six hours before the blood test. Is this correct or should I be waiting till after my blood test to take the...

Vince you have me curious! I've been doing high protein, semi high healthy fat, low carb for years. I look great but I'm doing more digging since watching the link you posted. The link I posted is long but has me thinking. I encourage more to watch. For warning the first thirty mins I almost...

I think this is total bs just my opinion... what's ur take Vince?

Ng/ml so i guess dont increase?

Will I'm currently at 5000 iu a day levels are 55. Do you think going to 10000 would be a good idea to try to get closer to 100 blood level?

I tested at 55. Was hoping to get closer to 100

How much d3 do you take? At 5000 daily thinking bout going to 10000.

Agreed cja. I wonder and maybe Dr. Saya can chime in if maybe the high dht offsets estradiol. I know Dr Saya mentioned dht being elevated would be a concern of his and that came into my head also. I think that's why many of us were surprised he didn't check dht levels.
