Her sex drive is low and she hasnt been taking great care of herself. The high triglycerides and cholesterol are a real wakeup call. Anything else we should be concerned about? How do her hormones look?

^^^^Your wife needs thyroid hormones testing, TSH is a poor indicator of thyroid status, Free T3 is the master thyroid hormone, Reverse T3 can be elevated and block Free T3 at the T3 receptor.
I recommended a thyroid panel checking TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3 and antibodies.
Testosterone is low, free testosterone is the stuff that matters, the low vitamin D needs to be addressed.
MCV is high, does your wife suffer from alcoholism or vitamin B12 and/or folic acid deficiency?
Thank you and everyone on this forum so much!! I will get her to the lab again. These blood panel results have been a real eye opener for her. YES, she has been drinking way too much. I’ve tried to set an example for her by eating right and I quit drinking altogether even though I wasnt a heavy drinker to begin with. But she still wasnt getting it. Now that she can see the actual numbers, she’s a little freaked out. Stopped drinking and shes on an instant health kick. We’ll see how long it lasts, but I’m hoping its a permanent change.
Your wife will feel like a new women once her hormones are optimal. If her doctor is unwilling to treat her with the numbers she’s scoring, all hope is not lost as you can look for treatment in anti-aging, just be careful as many are only out for money with little care for the health of the patient.
Forgot to mention, high levels of iron in women can indicate low thyroid function, which we already suspect.
