In this video I go over three years of TRT Lab Work from LabCorp. The results of these labs are baffling and make me question how accurate Testosterone tests actually are.
we’ve been through a lot
but we need to have a talk
i’m gonna be honest i don’t trust their
ranges i don’t trust the way they’re
testing
uh the last two out of the three labs
that i’ve had done
have been messed up and could have
messed up my treatment
so yeah that’s about where we stand
right now it’s all about humanity
[Music]
what is going on guys tester levels here
thanks for being here with me today
today we’re going to go over three years
of labs that i have
and this latest one is pretty darn
interesting
and makes absolutely no sense at all and
there’s a lot of stuff in these tests
that
make no sense at all it doesn’t make
sense why it took
labcorp 15 days to post my results
online
but that’s a whole other story so we’re
going to jump right in and i’m
i know there’s a lot of new people on
the channel so we’re just going to run
through
you know my labs from start to finish
almost exactly three years
and i think you guys will be interested
to see how some of the numbers
have how much they fluctuate randomly
which
i don’t know if that’s lab corp i don’t
know if that’s uh
the prescription that i have but uh yeah
we’ll get into that
so i’ve got my handy dandy little
tracker here that i use
and i have a link to it somewhere if i
remember i’ll put it in the video
in the description so you guys can use
this same thing
or you can just create something
different you know similar to this that
you can use
let’s jump right in let’s not waste time
so
april 6 2018 so this was before i was on
trt
at all this was just a very basic test
that i had to beg my doctor to give me
um and he didn’t test free test
didn’t test sensitive e2 shbg
um that’s all all he tested was total
test
so as you can see on screen i hope you
can see 288
and this is when my doctor told me that
i was good i was in range i was above
264
uh that i had to have muscle wasting ed
the inability to to get the opposite of
ed
in order for him to consider the gel
that was the last time that i ever saw
that doctor so this next blood work
was when i was joining defy and this was
200 milligrams of scipionate
split up to twice per week or 100
milligrams twice per week you know what
i’m saying
this was done kind of uh
on my own a little bit if you know what
i’m saying and
you also see my weight 247 was my
starting weight
and if you can see over here my starting
weight or my ending weight is 214.
i’ve gotten as low as 211 but i’m kind
of bulking up a little bit
if you know what i’m saying so uh yeah
maybe a little extra water weight
maybe i’m just fat so on this test from
defy free test 43.5
pretty high total test 1064.
you guys are gonna love this one i put
this in magenta
uh sensitive e2 this one’s actually
sensitive e2 from defy
72.7 i know a lot of you guys are
looking at that like
wow that’s crazy 72.7 um
but i don’t have any symptoms from it my
skin’s a little oily i break out from
time to time but i don’t have
really issues with estrogen i’ve said on
this channel before
i’ve gone over i’ve gone to 500
milligrams a week back in the day
didn’t have any issues i mean i looked
like a sunburnt
uh michelin man i just bloated up with
water
and i looked very red all the time and
people would ask me how the beach was on
thursday
when it was raining outside anyway but
shbg
25 just remember that one um i know you
can look over and see other numbers but
just stick along with me stick along
uh hematocrit 51 so that was on the
higher side looks like we jumped up from
47 to 51
in just under two months so that’s
pretty that’s pretty interesting that’s
a big jump that’s right at the top of
the range
red blood cell not too worried about
cholesterol my cholesterol dropped 20
points in two months
and my triglycerides dropped nearly 50
points maybe a little over 50 points in
two months
that’s pretty crazy and keep in mind
through this time i was exercising
and i was taking testosterone so i’m not
too worried about any of these other
numbers
um you know ldl ldl wasn’t that bad
hdl dropped a little bit that’s to be
expected
this next blood work was with a private
doctor
uh i’d like to fi nothing wrong with
defy but my buddy had a local doctor
that he was using for trt and he
introduced me to him
and he kept me on the same protocol 200
milligrams of test thousand ius of hcg
and 0.375 milligrams of remedex
so in the next three months i dropped
another five pounds
my free test was a little lower uh my
total test was higher
uh this doctor did not check for
sensitive e2 or shbg
i’m adequate 52.2 this jumped up
um i believe i donated in between this
but i can’t guarantee that but i’m
almost 100 sure i
uh donated blood at this point red blood
cell count was high
cholesterol crept up a little bit
triglycerides stayed about the same
hdl tanked to uh 35
and ldl jumped up to 88. that’s typical
when you’re on trt your hdl is going to
drop
and your ldl is going to jump up now
this next one same doctor jumped at my
aramidex a little bit
uh dropped another 10 pounds free test
is about the same
total test is about the same at 1086. he
did do shpg this time
21.2 a little bit on the lower end
nothing crazy
hematocrit 51.9 that’s on the higher end
triglycerides jumped up cholesterol
stayed about the same
hdl jumped up a little bit from 35 but
it’s still below the range of 39.
ldl went down a little bit so that’s
good
now 8 29 2019 i switched up my protocol
a little bit
same amount of tests no issues i dropped
from a thousand ius to 800 i use
and i jumped up i kept my arimidex a
little bit the same
at half a milligram now i just dropped
the
hcg a little bit i just didn’t really
see the need for it and i was kind of
seeing can i go lower and you know
get the same results and so far i have
so 218 dropped another seven pounds free
test was
up this is one of the tests that i’m a
little annoyed at lab corp about
and this next three tests they’re just
two out of the three are random like so
when i’m not one of those people that
wake up and like oh wow i have a blood
test today i haven’t prepared at all
when i set an appointment for my blood
test i make sure okay i do it on
thursday i do it about 9
- right i don’t want to see it right
at 8 in the morning i want to see it a
little lower i want my doctor to see it
a little bit lower i don’t want him to
get worried
not that i changed my protocol up so
before each one of these next three
tests
on monday afternoon i did half a
milliliter
of pharmaceutical grade testosterone
it’s from sipla
all three of these have been from sipla
if you saw my instagram and i’ll put my
instagram down there
check me out on instagram i share a lot
of stuff that i can’t put on this
channel
i’ve got like four bottles built up of
cipla that’s all they give me at walmart
so it’s all the exact same testosterone
monday
100 milligrams thursday i take my blood
test
and i fast so there should be very
little variance
but on this particular test i pulled a
1384.
this is my first blood test with my new
doctor so
you can imagine that i was a little
concerned that he was going to
lower my dose you know he i’m buddies
with him
i’m not best buddies with him but i can
sure as hell tell you that he would drop
me as a patient
over losing his medical license or
putting his medical license in jeopardy
so i mean if this was a mess up on labs
labcorp
or whatever i don’t know how they test
blood but if they did something wrong or
their machine was not calibrated it was
off
they pulled a 1384 i know a lot of you
guys out there
your doctors would be like whoa whoa
whoa stop the clock
that’s a ronnie reference if you know
what i’m saying
1384 they say well okay you’re at 200
and you’re you know you’re way above the
964 or whatever it is 916.
so we’re gonna drop you to uh you know
160 - but look at this next test right
back where i need to be
exact same scenario same testosterone
same time frame
everything’s the same and now it’s a
thousand so i think this was just an
anomaly i think this was just a mess up
on lab corp an inaccurate test
but this could have kind of me
you know brand new doctor
first time getting blood work pull up
1384 when all the other times three in a
row i’ve pulled you know between a
thousand and eleven hundred
not too happy with lab corp but the shbg
pretty much exactly the same as the last
test uh hematocrit
jumped down a little bit fantastic my
triglycerides went down
keep in mind i also lost seven pounds uh
hdl jumped up to 41 in range but my ldl
also jumped up
and my psa 0.8 that’s your prostate
uh you definitely want to keep an eye on
that you don’t want to see that
rise um you know it’s not like if you
have a certain amount of it that means
you’re going to get you know prostate
cancer
but if it starts to rise up that’s
something you need to keep an eye on and
talk to your doctor about
so pretty weird test um
you know i mean like if my shbg was a
lot lower and this was 1384 like i could
kind of see it
but i mean in this i actually dropped
you know 200 ius of hcg
and it jumped up 300 points makes no
sense
i just don’t i don’t really know how
accurate testosterone testing
i think it’s accurate to a point but i
think it can wildly fluctuate
so we’ll move on and i’ll show you the
crazy one well you can already see it
it’s a 513
exact same parameters exact same cipla
test pharmaceutical grade test
maybe my test is under dosed maybe i
need to have a conversation with my test
and see if it’s under dosed we’ve been
through a lot
but we need to have a talk
i’m not gonna get mad
but i need to know
are you under dosed nope
don’t lie to me i i may be disappointed
if you’re under dose but i need to know
the truth
are you underdosed
that’s what i thought
thank you for being honest sippy nate
like i said
we’ve been through a lot i trust our
relationship i’m glad we’re able to have
this talk
i feel like the next step is to talk to
my doctor
and we’re going to double your dose so
that we can
have good respectable testosterone
numbers
thank you for being honest with me so uh
72 2020 dropped another four pounds
uh free test is lower right back in the
total test of a thousand
which as you can see it’s pretty much
where i’ve been at and that’s where i
expect to be at when i get tested
because i don’t around with blood
tests
i prepare for them i do exactly the
thing i mean
you know i want to do it i do it exactly
so that i get the
results that i should for the protocol
that i’m on if i vary from that protocol
and
for any rhyme or reason i adjust it back
to where it is so i can get consistent
results
sometimes some of us vary our protocols
i think you know what i’m saying
but for blood tests we don’t vary our
protocols
you guys know what i’m saying so 239
estrogen
that’s not sensitive my doctor messed up
he didn’t order the sensitive e2
so don’t freak out i am not growing
breasts
it’s all good shbg jumped down
14.8 that’s below the reference range
um you know i i could go to injecting
once a week
um but i kind of like my free test
that’s the test your body uses i’m i’m
kind of a big fan of it because i go to
the gym five days a week
free test as high as possible for right
now uh
hematocrit stayed right about the same
triglycerides i mean look at this i mean
200 196 140 140 140 125
212 random random as hell doesn’t make
sense
hdl 35 37 4135 i can see that
uh ldl it dropped you know and i can see
some of these like
you know 35 41 you know i get that
that’s that’s a
you know it fluctuates and you know
these tests are not 100
like balls accurate but you know an
extra 300 points when you drop
hcg or drop some hcg doesn’t make sense
so let’s move on to these labs i took
them on
april 5th and i was checking the portal
every day and it just didn’t say
anything
and then two days ago it told me they’d
be available on 4 20.
how ironic and i was looking at these
results
and i was like that’s 420s today by the
way so
shout out to you if you celebrate 420 i
don’t personally partake
doesn’t agree with me but uh so april
5th i took this
214 same weight uh
free test we’re down what five points
but look at my total test 513 that’s i
mean
half of what i’d expected to be less
than half of what i’d expected to be
and it just doesn’t make sense like how
are you gonna go
thousand eleven hundred thousand
thousand
five hundred i told my wife that she was
like you kidding me like that doesn’t
even make sense and
like i said my test could be underdosed
i doubt it because it’s
pharmaceutical grade test
imagine let’s say you were at 200 and
you took this test right here
and it puts you at like 400 and your
doctor’s like
why do you even feel bad like you know
or well i mean i guess if you’re at a
thousand it shows you
500 i mean as long as you know you
should be in a thousand but
i mean 513 i mean this isn’t like this
isn’t a home lab test this isn’t a
finger prick test i mean this is going
to lab court
labcorp cute little spanish girl thick
little spanish girl took my blood
no issues told me i had great veins and
winked at me everything was fantastic
but i pulled the 5 13. so maybe
i need to talk to my doctor maybe i need
400 a week 350 400 a week what do you
guys think should i ask him for that
is that crazy estrogen 52.4 no arimidex
i’m not taking any dim no calcium to
glucorate right now just on straight
test and hcg
no issues once again shbg is low
but i mean look at so shpg stayed the
same for both of these tests
free tests dropped um and
i mean but not not not in relation so
free tests in theory should be roughly
half
so if this was a thousand it should be
roughly like 17
we’re at 28. so i think this is messed
up i think this is messed up
um i think this is pretty accurate but
it is interesting
you know i mean 200 milligrams of test
that was
you know done without a doctor
supervision
72.7 estrogen same amount with
added 500 ius of hcg and we’re only at - so that’s interesting
hematocrit 48.3 100 honest with you i
donated blood probably about
three weeks to a month before i uh got
this blood test
rbc cholesterol cholesterol see that’s
pretty even steven
but like i said triglycerides 125 212
147
random i mean i haven’t changed up my
diet much i’m not doing anything
different
my hdl went up 39 i went up four points
to 39
and my ldl went up right right on the
top of the border
but my psa is good psas stayed
consistent it jumped up 0.2
that’s just margin of error so it’s just
weird i mean
you know i don’t know what to make of
this i’m glad that i track it but
the fact that it has so many variances
in it it just it makes me wonder
i mean for me i don’t really i don’t
really give a i mean if it says
1100 or 513 i mean i know
exactly what protocol i’m doing i feel
fine there’s no issues i’m just getting
blood work to check for health markers
but for the guys that are borderline or
you know and they and they take this
test and they’re plus 300 points because
of a
computer error or a calibration error i
mean how many guys have fallen through
through the cracks and you know been
told by the doctor they’re low normal
because of this test
i honestly just don’t think that
testosterone tests are that
accurate now all these are liquid
chromatography so i mean these are the
most accurate tests i don’t know if this
one is but
all these all these testosterone ones
are all liquid chromatography
the most accurate one that you could
possibly get and just to see a variance
of you know
what almost 900 points 900 points with
the exact same protocol
doesn’t make sense to me boys i don’t
know i mean i’m not accusing labcorp of
doing anything
you know or anything like that
i’m just saying i don’t think the shit’s
that accurate
i think it gives you a general idea but
i mean what’s the general idea i’m
between 1400 and 500
like but you’re gonna have your ranges
264 to 916
and if you’re 265 you’re in
range i personally
think should be like under 400 like
guaranteed trt
like 600 500 like we got to look at your
symptoms
but i just don’t think this shit’s
accurate enough i don’t know i don’t
think it’s accurate enough to make a
determination on someone’s health
treatment
of a hormone that is probably one of the
most hormone
most important hormones in their body
what do you guys think
you guys ever seen some crazy ass tests
like this have you ever seen
variances of 900 when you know you’ve
done your exact same protocol
let me know in the comments if you’re
new i mean i hope you learned something
a little something about how we look at
different you know markers with our
blood test
and you know if you’ve never seen like a
chart like this i mean it’s interesting
just to see how a lot of this stuff is
is you know changes over time and how
some of them are just
random as hell 125 212 147
anyway i don’t want to rant too much
guys i hope you found this interesting
i hope you don’t look down on me because
i only have 513 total test level now
um i hope you still look at me as a man
and not a little pansy boy with
with weak total testosterone levels and
weak free test levels and
very high estrogen and yeah getting a
little emotional
anyway guys appreciate you guys being
here if you’re new
would really appreciate if you click on
subscribe button if you found the video
entertaining or you just don’t like labs
and there’s stupid ranges
click on the like button and uh
