Thanks everyone for the responses! I appreciate all the feedback.

Hopefully my next hormone test will be more comprehensive so I can shed more light on the internal workings of my body. But until then, I will keep chugging along and tweaking my lifestyle (with the help of your suggestions!) to see what works best for me.

I'd also like to say - I do maintain a healthy lifestyle (apart from my desk job, which can't be helped) but I never claimed my body was healthy. I have always been frail and gotten sick easily so I've paid attention to factors such as diet and exercise to control what I can. Having a clean diet and an active lifestyle can only improve health. I know I don't have it down perfectly, but who does?

I hear you. Sometimes we do the absolute best we can do but our body has other ideas... That and a lot of Drs don't test us properly or really listen to our concerns and the alternative health scene just costs too damned much for diagnostics by rights our Drs should be issuing...
If these hormone tests are blood over saliva then there's a huge area of debate thAt bloods are even effective at all..
