Wow, that's interesting. I live in a part of NY that has pretty much the same climate as South Jersey. I have been an outside construction worker my whole life, so climate conditions or mold would not be my first idea. But the way these allergies just seem to come out of nowhere as we age I will...

Last night I stopped eating all the dairy products from my diet. This is a big deal for me because I eat a lot of cheese, whole milk yogurt with no flavoring, and put half and half in about three cups of coffee daily. I am going to replace it with eggs, I don't eat them on a daily basis...

Now that I have a baseline of lab results, I am confident I can make adjustments that should show up in lab results. I am officially on a TRT beginning delay of 6 months. The diet part is simplified for my case because of the intermittent fasting/one meal that I do anyway. I am going to up my...

Glucose level plummets...Testosterone level soars. Check. Got it.

Yeah, the more I look into it the more it seems that this could have relationships to everything I am concerned about. I also have a thread about this mysterious itching that has been bothering me for the last 2 years or so. I am someone who can eat pretty blandly and not have it bother me. I...

I guess Jim Fixx....shoulda got it fixed

I just had A1C done in another test. It's not covered under this one as well? Some of the things overlap. Anyway my A1C level is 5.6. Which is the higher end of normal.

Cutting back on anything wouldn't bother me at all. I don't really have any type of mental connection to any of my foods that I can't just manipulate it the way I want to. In other words it's not like I crave carbs or sweets. But I'm not convinced that's the reason for a high glucose level in my...

I wouldn't doubt if my testosterone levels are down for this blood test. After I get some more input I'll probably go into that why I think that may be.

Not supplementing with anything at the moment other than a multivitamin. I dropped everything else about 6 months ago, trying to pinpoint my itchy skin problem ( another thread of mine, if you search). I have never done any type of supplementation that I would consider to be a heavy-duty...

Enclosed is my blood test data. Someone please let me know if this posts correctly, I am doing it from my phone which isn't my first choice. Thank you!

I tried a prescription medicated shampoo for a while that really had no effect at all. And yes I do wear a hat at work so the sun is really not a factor in damaging my scalp. And I have done this pretty much since my teens. I have a pretty good head of hair especially considering my age. A good...

Yeah, this kinda sucks. I developed an allergy to shrimp, which I love, in my twenties it's not a severe thing but it's just not worth the itchy stuffy feeling I get in my mouth and nose when it occasionally happens. But it's not enough to turn something away if someone has gone out of their way...

Yes, definitely having one soon.But for a year during covid, my diet was incredibly strict and repetitive with things that had never given me problems in the past, yet I continued to have they same problems. The chicken and cheeses could have been loaded with preservatives or enhancers that I...

I have been itchy for a couple of years now, particularly around my face forehead neck and scalp. About two months ago it got more intense. And hives covered my torso and then sporadically on my legs and arms. That had never happened before they have pretty much dissipated but are still itchy at...

I am in no hurry, and my labs do not reveal anything earth shattering as you will see. I am so glad to have they labs done, I would not have any baseline for anything I try. And I will try diet, lifestyle changes and supplements for several months before anything else, along with more tests, to...

Yes, I will get the entire report up here by tonight for the world to see. It is the blood test via Defy.

I received my test results yesterday. What is the best way to post them???

I just had a full panel blood test done on my own dime. I had it with Quest Diagnostics. The results all look pretty good. Is this something that I should share with the Defy doctors ? I wonder if the full panel gives any more clues than the test that they ordered for me? I also think that I am...

Oh nooo!!! I was hoping for a 20 point boost...especially on all nighters.

Thanks for the advice. Do I work physical? You bet. I just wont bust it for a full 8 plus hours now. Big days like that take a while to recover from, they are no longer a distant memory the next morning. I always try to leave something left in the tank now. I am lucky that I have not had back...

Thanks man. I will post up before I agree, or worse yet, talk myself into thinking I need anything at all. I think my attitude is if anything is suggested, I will be like, "Can I try like half that and see if its makes a positive difference". I have never had any kind of PED and maybe 2 dozen...

Maybe I made it sound a bit casual, but if course it is not. I have a pretty good base of knowledge in the subject, but probably need a good refresher. At 58 I dont think anyone will accuse me if starting way too early. I am 6'2" and 195 and put together better than 90% of my young classmates. I...

Thanks man. I will post up for sure. It sounds like Defy does a pretty good job explaining and analyzing, but the knowledge here looks pretty awesome. Can't wait to dig into it.

I am 58 so for whatever the reason, I have decided it's time for the juice. I work construction and am also back in college to get my degree in a related profession. I need to whip everyone's ass physically and mentally, I hope I can get a concentration and mental stamina boost. I am in good...
