BLOOD TEST RESULTS
Hey, I would like to have your thoughts on the following blood test results, and whether you recommend doing a full Liver Panel check,
AST 24IU/L
ALT 30.7 IU/L
AST/ALT 0.81 RATIOURIC ACID 7.4 MG/DL
FASTING GLUCOSE 96.5MG/DL
FASTING INSULIN 11.05IU/MLAny input would be much appreciated thank you 🙂

Hi – just based off this small set of lab markers and no other information, it seems this person is struggling with blood sugar dysregulation, which is contributing to elevated uric acid (possibly gout), and a need for liver support.
It would be interesting to see their total and direct bilirubin. I would also be curious to know their kidney function and gut health status. Or if there’s any kind of atherosclerosis or circulatory disorders.
Nevertheless, the blood sugar regulation course would be the starting point for this individual, as that may be the driving factor for the other dynamics. Diet and stress reduction are key!
In there I discuss the role that the liver, pancreas and adrenals play in blood sugar regulation (watch here).
You can also see the optimal ranges for fasting glucose and insulin in this video here to compare it to their results and to better understand my assumed conclusion.
Hope this helps.

Hey ,
It would also be interesting to know with what type of symptoms this person was dealing. Or is it just a regular check up? Anyway, lab markers can give us general directions, but they all need to be interpreted with the symptoms of the person who was tested.
With this information we can help you even beter!

Thank you Bernadette. I guess a full liver panel then – the LDL is 198 and HDL 25 which are way off the range as well. Would you consider the nutrition route as a first step in such a case? And check the numbers again in a few months?

This was a yearly check up (last year was missed) – He works out 3/4 times daily but has a desk job (long hours). I am just concerned that his body has adjusted to this as a ‘norm’ as he is generally well otherwise. For example his Vit d is low (26) and ao is his B12 but physically this isn’t showing. He has developed a red rash/spots almost on his forehead in the past year.

Hey Daniel – it might be diet as well i guess. During the week its pretty healthy but over the weekend there is a snacking tendency at night. Thanks!

yes definitely make adjustments to diet and lifestyle/sleep/stress. I encourage you to make time to watch the blood sugar regulation course if you have time to get a better idea of how to make tweaks to the diet/lifestyle.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

thank you for your getting back to me. Yes I have started your course! Listening to it now 🙂

Okay so I have finished the course and it was so so helpful! thank you for breaking this down, and I am so glad to have gone through it.
I do have a question about ‘aromitization’ mentioned in your course. The test results show Free Testosterone at 40 pg/ml and total testosterone at 135ng/dl. And the prostate levels are within optimal range. So could there be a testosterone/ oestrogen conversion issue?
The aromatase and progesterone levels were not tested yet – Would you recommend to test them to understand whats behind the low levels? Or once the sugar regulation is controlled, then the results should slowly also fall within the optimal range?Thank you

I’m glad it was helpful!
Yes correct, typically in a man, higher insulin pushes aromatization so correcting diet/lifestyle can help improve testosterone levels as well.
Other things that push aromatization to keep in mind are obesity and inflammation, quercetin, white peony and licorice root, rutin, forskolin, atrazine.
