Request for Help w/ Labs

[Guest guest]

I would greatly appreciate any input on how to interpret these results

from my saliva kit labs:

Cortisol:

Morning 13 normal (13-24 norm)

Noon 1 depressed (5-10 norm)

Afternoon <1 depressed (3-8 norm)

Midnight 7 elevated (1-4 norm)

Cortisol burden = 22

DHEA = 3

(Patient Result Interpretations

Marginal HPA axis performance during the day may be associated with

suboptimal hypothalamic pacing of adrenals.

Adrenal support suggested.

Midnight value is elevated suggesting a lack of sensitivity to

suppression at the pituitary-hypothalamic-axis. This condition is usually

associated with a tendency to endogenous depression, and REM sleep

disruptions. Minimal cortisol rhythm; cortisol augmentation and

anabolic support suggested.)

What does " anabolic support " mean?

Thyroid:

Thyroid stimulating hormone = 83 Normal (Normal: 26-85 nIU/ml)

ft4 = 0.18 (Normal: 0.17-0.42 ng/dl)

ft3 = 0.43 (Normal: 0.28-1.10 pg/ml)

TPO = Negative

I'm on Synthroid, looking to switch to Armour, but first I need to

address adrenals.

Hormones:

Estradiol = 12 (leutal 7-20)

Progesterone >1,000 (leautal 65-500)

Testosterone = 11 (8-20 norm)

THANK YOU!!!
