Hi @Noor – the following tests would be a good starting point for investigation if you’re concerned about his growth and delayed puberty:
- IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) measures the average growth hormone activity in the body which helps with height and puberty

Hi @LAK – definitely worth repeating a full thyroid panel if he’s going to be retested anyway since biotin can interfere with thyroid results. Please watch this video from the Interpreting Basic Blood Chemistry course for tips on how to prepare for a blood test to ensure better accuracy.
There are comprehensive stool tests like the GI Map…

Hey @dxb,
Functional Adaptation
Elevations in HDL and LDL are often a sign of “something”. Small elevations might simply be a functional adaptation to lifestyle choices.For example: a diet heavy in animal proteins and (healthy) fats can cause LDL and HDL to rise. Animal proteins in nature are almost always accompanied by fats. When we eat…

Hi @DXB – labs should always be interpreted in the context of the individual. Without additional information or other markers, I’ll provide information based on assumptions.
First, I’m going to assume that these labs were drawn in an overnight fasting state (9 to 12 hours) first thing in the morning, and only water was consumed. Otherwise,…

It can cause serious health problems for both mother and baby, including organ damage, premature birth, and in extreme cases, death. So this is where allopathic treatment is in fact needed and necessary.

@LAK it’s interesting that you mention he’s thin because his suboptimal high TSH did jump out at me and did make me wonder what may be going with thyroid function.
Although it’s not clinically high, a TSH above 2 uIU/ml may be something to pay attention to. This suggests the pituitary is sensing a need for more thyroid hormone (which raises TSH…
