RE: please help interpret labs for friend

[Guest guest]

HIs Ferritin is very low as men need it even higher than women and women

need it ot be 70-90. HIs testosteroine is in the DIRT. For men this is

VERY important even more so than women and his htyroid is veyr low and

he has Hashi's. Possibluy should do the cortilsl saliva testing to find

out about adrenals.

Well, his B-12, Ferritin, FT4, and FT3 are all low. B-12 should optimally be

close to 1000, Ferritin (iron) should be at least 40-70. And the Free T4 and

T3 are both low, so he needs more thyroid. I don't know much about the sex

hormones yet. The cortisol level would depend on the time of day. It would

be very helpful if he got a 24 hour salvia cortisol test done to check for

adrenal fatiuge. He definately needs to get that B-12 and iron level up

though as low levels of these can interefere with thyroid dosing.

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright
