Ok, so I've been through the bloodwork this morning.
Immediate things that jump out at me are E2 (too high), lipids (HDL and LDL are always going to be out when on gear, but I want to check supplementation is in place), inflammation (CRP is too high), liver enzymes (too high considering it was a couple of days between training and bloods) and body fat being 30%+ (major driver of E2 and inflammation).
My recommended course of action:
- Stop the "flexible dieting". I don't care what success others have with it, it's not going to help your cholesterol/ lipids, your digestion, your insulin sensitivity or your inflammation.
- Add in Omega3s, magnesium, vitamin D3 and berberine if they're not in place already. Consider NAC, TUDCA, Curcumin and CoQ10 if budget allows for it.
- 0.25mg Arimidex EOD for two weeks, then drop back to 0.25mg twice a week. I'd prefer to see Aromasin being used, but Arimidex can work.
- Do fasted cardio 3 x week (minimum). Even just 30 minutes before breakfast will help.
- Stay on 250mg test
- Retest bloods in 6-8 weeks. BB1 from iMedical.
- Think about dropping the test to 150mg/ week (after the 6-8 week blood test) and focusing on losing body fat.
