[QUOTE="dlello2, post: 257020, member: 45598"] Hey all! Found this site a while ago and have been lurking a bit, but I think it's time I try taking my health into my own hands. The endo I've been working with here in Austin TX is nice, but she just hasn't been taking my issues seriously enough. A quick bit about me: I just turned 36, am quite active (daily yoga, weight lifting 3+ days a week). I eat well and generally take care of myself... prioritize sleep (7-8hours nightly), supplementation, meditation, etc. I generally eat lower sugar/carb and higher protein/fat. Very little fried/processed food. I have low libido and my digestion is generally pretty crappy. Been fighting constipation most of my adult life, and feel like I've tried everything to dial that in (Mg is the only thing that seems to help a little). My recent DEXA scan showed lower than normal Bone Density, and the fact that my Estradiol is so low is quite concerning as Estrogen promotes the activity of osteoblasts (cells that make new bone). Below are my most recent (relevant) lab results... any advice you have would be amazing.
