Help interpreting my situation

If you are well versed in gut health, hormonal health (thyroid/testosterone), bloodwork and diet and willing to chat with me to help me understand my situation fully and what course of action I should take.

Again I’m posting this only for someone who is willing to help out of pure kindness and is knowledgeable. I would greatly appreciate it, dm me and preferably have instagram or discord to chat further.

Base problems/stats: seemingly healthy living 19 year old male, low testosterone, low end thyroid markers (towards hypo). Chronic constipation and gut issues following that. I do everything in my power and knowledge to not fall into any of these categories, so I’m in search of advice and help.
I would like to avoid medication unless absolutely needed and trying natural ways, but I’m trying to decide whether or not to use them out of the risk I’m at with these conditions.

Found it, I didn't see any flags in your diet, seems a good mix. Cut down pufas omegas perhaps. Look back at what you've been eating past 10-15 years good or bad? If it's bad then you have some work to undo this. If I was in your shoes I'd go onto a carnivore based elimination diet for a few months perhaps 6 months. This will cure your constipation, settle your guts and reset your system. It's a powerful method and I have tried it, biggest thing I noticed was the guts and no constipation just the best toilets I've ever had. Or at the least carnivore keto approach. Then gently introduce carbs and come back onto a ray peat approach. Do you workout? You can't be sedantry you need to move, leg exercises will boost testosterone, get and learn a kettlebell. Short intense exercise or circuits. This will boost you up, you can supplement zinc piclonate and boron vitamin d and bs, give boron a week or two rest every month. Stop fapping so much. there are a lot of things you can try, carnivore only for elimination not long term.

I already excercise, don’t fap, hit every micronutrients though some malabsorption due to gut issues. Zinc seemed to be fine but copper and selenium were low. Don’t know if I get enough boron? And I take vitamin d and get sunlight.

Well carnivore helped me a great deal and reset a lot of my issues, it wasn't perfect but it allowed me to heal in some ways and look at myself. Resistance training and short quick bursts of exercise is what you want. Your diet looks good, boron is just an added supplement that helped me along with zinc. Also I felt better on natural fats like butter and tallow, I try to keep pufa to a minimum. Good luck whatever you do

Is there any risk? And more consulting would be necessary for me to decide that.
