[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 15049, member: 696"] OK, at a glance your antibodies (both) look fine. FT4 is still on the lower end, but the missing link unless I overlooked it is your Free T3, or the order req. might just call it Triiodothyronine-Free Serum. I need that for comparing to your Reverse T3 for ratios. I suspect it is probably in the same zone of the reference range with T4. If so, your ratio (looking at the lower RT3 serum level) will probably be > 20, and if so you could IMO be a good candidate to talk to a physician about being treated for hypothyroidism. Testosterone serum is till hanging sub-optimal, but not in the tank. Probably just some slightly suppressed LH, which is to be expected as we age (ye ole Andropause dilemma). E2 doesn't appear to be a sensitive or ultra-sensitive platform (correct me if I'm wrong), but would also suspect it to be on the low end with one of those assays. See if you can't put that in when you get more labs. I know you're looking at keeping things as "natural" as possible ... Take a look at all the topics take place this week with the Healthy Gut Summit [url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?3215-Healthy-Gut-Summit[/url] .. Just some other avenues that can be explored that do make a difference in your overall well being. I imagine at some point TRT will be a viable option, but cover all the bases that you need covered til you get to that point. Best, Chris [/QUOTE]
