So what do these numbers actually mean?โฃ
โฃ
I donโ€™t know because Im not a doctor. Thatโ€™s why I pay people to interpret these results.  Living in Canada, how did I get this report???โฃ
โฃ
I had to drive down to the US and use a company called Blokes! ๐Ÿ˜ณโฃ
โฃ
I had a comprehensive blood panel done along with a consultation from Dr. Jacey Folkers.๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธโฃ

My Testosterone is low, but I experience zero signs of low testosterone.  Why is my testosterone so low? ๐Ÿค”โฃ
โฃ
Anytime your body fat dips down to low single digits, your body is more interested in survival, not reproducing so it prioritizes those hormones for survival.. Anytime you see a Natural physique athlete stepping on stage, you can assume their T levels have tanked.โฃ
โฃ
Enhanced athletes donโ€™t have to worry about this because theyโ€™re enhanced with synthetic testosterone, but their LH & FSH are almost zero.๐Ÿ’‰โฃ
โฃ
The testosterone levels on this report (see todayโ€™s IG Post for full labs) are a snapshot in time, and they donโ€™t stay there, nor will I. โฃ
โฃ
Over the next 6-months to 1 year, I will be increasing my Testosterone NATURALLY while maintaining a LEAN physique (Just not this lean because its not healthy or sustainable long term)โฃ
โฃ
What is a healthy body fat level for optimal testosterone?  Based on the current research from Plose One 0294567, it would be appear to be around 12%.โฃ
โฃ
This is great news because 12% is sustainable year-round, and you can still look awesome (this is where I stay most of the year, unless Iโ€™m stepping on stage).โฃ

Can you get LEAN naturally over 50? ๐Ÿค”โฃ
โฃ
A lot of people think every lean muscular person is taking some form of steroid or drug to achieve the result.๐Ÿ’‰โฃ
โฃ
Sadly, we live in a world where people want to shortcut success to achieve results.  That couldnโ€™t be truer in the world of fitness.  I totally get it!  We are inundated with stories like the liver kings and anyone that shows up on our instagram feed thatโ€™s lean and has muscle, automatically gets put in the same bucket - FAKE NATTY.๐Ÿค“โฃ
โฃ
How do you know whoโ€™s natural and whoโ€™s not?  Today, every Natural physique athlete  is considered guilty until proven innocent.โฃ
โฃ
The last time I had blood work done was a couple of years ago.  The test above was done a few weeks ago.โฃ
โฃ
I am not a doctor, so I wonโ€™t dissect the report. The main reason why I got this done was to silence the critics. โฃ
โฃ
Sadly, they still wonโ€™t believe YOU can achieve this naturally.  A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still! ๐Ÿค”โฃ
โฃ
I am not currently on TRT or have ever been, and have never taken any performance enhancing drug.  I have always been scared of side effects from anything that produced from a pharmaceutical company.โ˜ ๏ธโฃ
โฃ
I have been fortunate that up until this time, I have not had to take TRT.  I have nothing against TRT and I think itโ€™s a blessing for men that have clinically low levels of testosterone and itโ€™s prescribed by their doctor.๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธโฃ
โฃ
Maybe in the future, I will have to take it, but that time is NOT now!โฃ

Full panel check in! Every 6 months or so I get a @joiwomenswellness full comprehensive lab to see where Iโ€™m at and make any necessary adjustments to my diet, lifestyle, or monthly supplements to get back to optimal ranges.
I began this when I was at my lowest weight, was noticing significant symptoms and problems from years of under fueling for the amount of activity I was doing and wanted help to see what was going on inside my body to begin a healing journey.
That first lab I got done was so eye opening, I had no idea what my habits were doing to my body.. Isnโ€™t exercising a good habit?! Found out the hard way where that line is and just how important proper fueling and nutrition is. 
I worked with @joiwomenswellness and my nutrition coach @brandondacruz_ on a protocol to help heal my hormones, adrenals, gut health, and liver in a more natural way rather than just taking medications. Itโ€™s been a mix of lifestyle changes, diet changes, and supplements when needed. And every lab Iโ€™ve got since has been getting better ๐Ÿฅน
So so happy to say Iโ€™ve gotten my period back after 3 years of amenorrhea, my hormones are back in good range and producing them on my own, my thyroid, adrenals, and inflammation are now all in good range. Itโ€™s been about 2 years working on this and I still have a ways to go to full be in the green/optimal range but so happy with the incredible progress back to healthy so far! Itโ€™s not easy to fully change your mindset or lifestyle and see your body change, but it is SO worth it to be able to FEEL good and feel like you have control of your health. 
This isnโ€™t something you just pay attention to when youโ€™re in a bad spot, this is something I am going to be doing the rest of my life to make sure I am healthy inside-out and live a long, active, healthy life. 
Be proactive about your body and health! This is the only body we get.

Iโ€™ve suffered with Low Testosterone ever since I started testing it back in 2011. 

Iโ€™ve always been in the 300-500 total testosterone range for most of my adult life.

When I started working with @getblokes my starting total testosterone and free testosterone were:
- 458 Total (โ€œnormalโ€ range)
- 9.6 Free (super duper low range)

After 2 months of working with them taking enclomiphene (non-steroidal estrogen receptor antagonistโ€ฆNOT TRT):
- 1158 Total (Optimal range)
- 213 Free (Optimal range)

This is why I like working with @drjacey and @getblokes because they actually help you get to the optimal levels.
