28M | Concerning blood work + action plan | Need opinions
Hey Reddit, got comprehensive blood work done. Several red flags at 28. Been working out and trying to lose weight for a month. Here’s the summary:
Current weight 101kg reduced 3 kg
Height: 165 cm
🔴 Critical Results
| Marker | My Value | Normal |
|---|---|---|
| Creatine Kinase | 9,019 U/L | 46–171 |
| Vitamin D | 10.5 ng/mL | 30–100 |
| hsCRP | 14.79 mg/L | <3.0 |
| Uric Acid | 9.2 mg/dL | 3.7–7.7 |
| HDL | 29 mg/dL | >39.5 |
| Triglycerides | 215 mg/dL | <150 |
| SGOT/SGPT | 94/58 U/L | 11–34 / 0–45 |
| Vitamin B12 | 171 pg/mL | 187–833 |
| Ferritin | 310 ng/mL | <274 |
✅ Normal
Blood count, thyroid, kidney, fasting glucose, testosterone (340 — low-normal for 28M)
💡 My Theory
Running a 1,284 kcal daily deficit with intense exercise. Suspect over-training + under-recovering is causing the high CK, elevated liver enzymes, high ferritin and hsCRP. Reducing deficit to 500 and cutting exercise volume.
💊 Started
Fish oil, Berberine, Milk Thistle, Magnesium, B12, D3 60K weekly, Spirulina
❓ My Questions
1. CK of 9,000+ from exercise alone — anyone experienced this?
2. HDL 29 at 28 — reversed naturally? What worked?
3. Is everything connected to over-training or should I investigate further?
4. Supplement stack reasonable or overkill?
Seeing a doctor soon. Just want community experiences. Thanks 🙏
