High DHEA, Cortisol, Lactate, Prolactin, Progesteron but low PTH
-
Hi, I just received (29, male) bloodwork results. Here they are:
DHEA: 30 nmol/l
Cortisol: 615 nmol/l
Lactate: 2.10 mmol/l
Prolactin: 21 μg/l
PTH: 2.0 pmol/l
LDL Cholesterol: 3.90 mmol/l
TSH: 2.5I have been following Ray Peat's approach for 2 years, but was already eating low in PUFA and avoiding most processed foods for years. I mostly eat dark vegetables, potatoes, cheese, eggs, meat, honey, some citrus fruits, some seafood and drink a lot of milk. This is what I mostly eat in winter. In summer, definitely more carbs (fruits).
I had more blood markers tested, but the ones I mentioned are the most concerning.
I did not take any supplements for 2 months prior to the blood test.
What is the best course of action for me in this situation?

It would be helpful if you would please provide the test ranges in addition to the numbers of your own results.
Your TSH is high. A full thyroid panel including free T4, free T3, and reverse T3 would be helpful. The goal is to have a low PTH; it means your parathyroid is quiet and happy and not pumping out PTH.
Without the ranges for the lab tests, evaluation of your results is difficult if not possible. Look on your lab tests and see if you can find them.
