How old are you at altitude?

Thank you for posting. I look forward to some good ST wisdom here and hope to learn something. :slight_smile:

What does the lab say the normal ranges for each of those values
.

Interesting post - hopefully no issues and/or your insurance company isn’t on here :wink:

I am considering getting a panel done next time I am in the US (since you can’t productize this type of thing for mass consumption here in Canada apparently)… where did you go and were there any key tests you included as a rec athlete?

Can any of the docs/med students in here add ‘key’ metrics they’d want to know?

How much do you weight?

Being French i only read Blue blood sorry
.

You need oxygen!

Judging from your iron saturation number, you need to do at least four more HIMs or two full IMs.

kinda freaked out about the iron levels, as well as the testosterone levels. as much as I trust you guys, I’m gonna be seeing a doctor about it.
