Got my labs results back and I am a bit lost. The reason for the test was sub-optimal feeling for the last year (lower than usual libido, hair loss onset (diffuse), small loss of eyebrow hair, general loss of "alpha"-feeling). Otherwise, I feel healthy, good energy, good sleep, train 3-4 times a week, ok level of stress, etc.)
Avoiding vegetable oils, low/moderate dairy.
Supplements - K, E (mixed), beef liver tablets, gelatin, glycine, Ashwagandha and a small dose of nettle/saw palmetto.
Male, 36 y/o, 190 lbs (low fat %)
Most are in "ref. range" but I am not convinced some hormones are where the should/could be? Appreciate help with interpretation.
